One of the best and healthiest canned proteins that I didn't see was sardines. Now I'm 64, served my country and ate a lot of nasty stuff, but I never even tasted sardines until this year. And they are awesome. I just mash em up and make a sandwich. Better than tuna, little to no Mercury(since they eat plankton). In olive oil they have like a 4 yr used by date and are actually good for you and recommended by doctors. Your video was well done and informative. Stay well.
Have you tried smoked herring?
...smoked kippers😉
UPDATE:
Oh My Goodness...
I just opened my 1st tin of smoked KIPPERS (Kippered Herring)! ...
I died & Gone TO HEAVEN!
OHH! How could I have gone 50 years & never tried them. Love them more than SARDINES!
I'm stocked with them all (gotta have my smoked Oysters too).
Thank you for your Encouragements!
@@dianeferre1273 yummy...they are good, big, smoky sardines...😃
Chuck Bellacera, I love sardines in mustard sauce. Saltines are great with those!
Last yr with all the CA wildfires, I found out I was only family member with a disaster backpack. So I bought 5 backpacks in September and gradually filled them with flashlights, gloves, n95 face masks, solar charger, TP, maps, $150 cash, dehydrated & canned food, pet food, collapsible bogs, etc. Each bag had bout $500 worth of stuff. My 40+ yr old sons thought “what the hell is this about”. After Xmas when CV-19 was becoming a pandemic, boy were they excited about their gifts!! Three of us live in earthquake areas and three live in Indianapolis tornado area. I never dreamed they would need for a pandemic. These were the BEST gifts I ever gave to my family members!! EVERYONE should be prepared for disasters. Each keeps kit in their vehicle in case a disaster strikes when they aren’t at home. I was traveling in the Midwest when I got stuck on freeway due to huge multiple vehicle accident for almost 12 hr. I was able to eat and feed kids in other vehicles near me. So, get yourself prepared!!
Corned beef hash is great, fry it up with a can or two of diced potatoes, then make 4-6 holes in the skillet, add a pat of butter and crack an egg in each hole.. serve with toast - this stretches out your 14 oz can to a hearty meal for 4-6 people for around $5
Down here in south Alabama those canned meats have been normal groceries as long as I can remember and even before then. I am 65
Same here.you can also find little sausages in can like viennas. They are good. You can also make a soup or stew with can corn beef. You left out potted meat. Good on saltines.
Amen! From South Alabama here as well. Try canned corned beef mixed in tomato gravy over rice. My dad fixed this for us for breakfast along with his homemade biscuits. Delish! He died 47 years ago today. He'd just say: "Go to the store boy! Buy what you grew up on".
North Alabama. We poor folk can survive. I could easily feed 50 people for $20, and they would eat well. I've been trying to remember all the things my grandmother told me about the Great Depression.
Potato soup time is a coming.
Southwest Alabama here and I totally agree. Also, canned smoked oysters are great on crackers.
I always think of that scene from sling blade😂
A lot of people that used to laugh at "preppers" , have finally WOKE UP!
it's a shame they confuse us with hoarders......ummm i'm sorry we weren't the ones at the store buying everything up.
@@MoonLightAmethyst_ Hoarders stock roach turd covered time mags, stacks of news papers from the 80's, used grocery bags, used jars with no intent to ever use them, giant hefty bags of used pill bottles, etc, freakin literal garbage, like the TV show, they have ZERO food, nothing of monetary value, I have dealt with them, they have some sort of mental problem.
I’m not sure if it was a hoarding thing or not, when this “honey badger virus “ started the CDC told people to go buys 2 weeks worth of food. So for once 50% of the people listened. I guess maybe that’s what the shelves look like when everyone shops at once🤷♀️
patty p well I confess I ve got a closet full of toilet paper !!
Now we just laugh at people who don’t know how to use commas.
I like the phrase " food insurance" I actually first heard that on Alaska Prepper channel and it made sense to me so I hope people will listen to you and get Food Insurance.
Hey, I watch AP, too!
Me too ;)
Who? j/k
Pat M I watch AP too. That's how I describe my food prepping I call it food insurance. Makes them pay closer attention.
@Cyndi Rothrock I was joking I know
Dude those “chicken creations” I have cases on cases of the bbq and terrioki they are awesome not a ton of meat in a pouch but so good tasting and if you boil spam for a few minutes first then fry it you boil out the sodium that’s how they eat it in korea makes it a thousand times better
50 shades Of FDE and Costco carries a lower sodium version.
When the SHTF and you have to do more physical work to survive you will need that salt. I buy low sodium to eat now but prep the regular salt one.
Marla Bullard plus the salt makes it stay good longer..
Thanks for the tips.
I'll give Spam a try again. My mom used to force us to eat it in the 70's and it was salty and gross in general back then, hope it's changed lol
As Minnesota farm girl, I'll tell you. We LOVE our Spam. Low salt is available.
For Keystone check Amish markets. Keystone is Amish owned. Love it with a passion. And since I am on limited income I have been buying up canned meats because the last 3 months was hard. Thank goodness I had done some prepping the best I can. And I agree I love Wolf chili and it has so much flavor.
Thanks did not know that
You forgot canned sardines and mackerel. Good self life and come in oil or water. In fact in your supermarket aisle for Asian and Spanish foods you will find a number of canned fish and shellfish. Good vid. Stay healthy!
I forgot them both, but yeah they are both good!
Canned tuna is the only fishy fish I care for. I may have to learn to eat sardines and anchovies. Perhaps folks will post ideas and recipes for them.
I'm so broke I bought 2 cans of hard rolled oats for $2.63 each, off brand. One can makes 30 breakfasts. Can't beat that! Remember to save your bacon drippings and store in refrigerator. Great flavor, oil and a butter substitute. I also bought canned ham made in Canada from the "Gross Out" (grocery outlet). I sliced it thin, fried it and it was absolutely delicious. It cost around $3. Could make at least 10 meals for 1 person. Add to lentils soups too. We can make it folks! Get it now as inflation is gonna be out of this world. I am starting to realize this and also realize that meat products are killing us anyways with heart attacks/ clogged arteries/strokes. If that is your family tree. Instead of buying canned tuna/albacore that is Fukashimaed, just break out that fishing pool and dig up some worms in your back yard and head to the river. Raise a few chickens and feed them scraps, heck they dont even need that. They peck the ground for bugs in the soil. Our paper money will be good for fire starting and the 1% can't eat gold, unless they have really strong teeth. Watch every penny and make your money go farther, like with the one can of rolled oats making 30 meals for $2.63. God bless all of U struggling out there.
@Margaret Bauer You sound just like me!
Good luck with that brain washed mentality. If you eat carbs carbs carbs you will die.
Can you receive food stamps or hit some food banks
Canned chicken and barbecue sauce you can get it at Walmart get some cans and a jug of BBQ sauce and your good and it’s good!! Quick and easy. Dump chicken in skillet heat then add BBQ and heat then serve, I do white rice on the side but ya don’t have to. The whole trick is you have to try it out find what you and your family will eat.
the old days lol I'm old enough to remember cans of sardines with a key, that was fun because you were rolling the lid back on itself we used to sit the can on a slice of bread to catch the inevitable explosion of oil at the end
That was olive oil, not this cheap vegetable stuff.
misolgit 69 I remember that as well🤣😂🤣
Oh ya. Dad bought sardines and smoked oysters. We’d eat them on crackers on a Sunday afternoon.
I remember those
Do they make pickled herring anymore? I was really good too.
The dried beef in a jar is good too. Soak for awhile to cut the salt content then cut up and add to white gravy, serve over toast or biscuits. Easy and cheap meal.
Chip beef on toast!
We've stocked up on food over the past few months as well. The first thing I did was make a food rotation plan based on each canned food's shelf life. All we have to do is eat 1 day of food storage a week. We bought canned fruit, veggies and meats to stick with the basics and avoid all of the chemicals and other "bad" ingredients that are in premade canned foods. I love Keystone meats, just meat and a little sea salt. Open the can and you've got a little fat which can be used to saute your aromatics and about 2/3 cup of broth which can be used to build a sauce. Last week I made spaghetti with their ground beef, 2 cans of crushed tomatoes and pound of dried pasta and it was fantastic...$9 for a good 6 servings, a far better value than freeze dried or other "emergency" food. I tried everything before we stocked up and good thing too. Both SPAM and DAK hams are disgusting IMHO...I had high hopes for the ham, but not to be. I also don't like the ingredients in canned chili (TVP) or canned pasta like ravioli, preferring to make our own. Over the years I haven't had much luck with canned soups most being far too salty but Campbell's Chunky soups now have lower salt versions that are pretty good as well as the store brand versions (generic) and it makes a good meal if served over rice. I've also been able to stock up our freezer to bursting over the past few months by shopping sales at our local grocery store and butcher. Our latest acquisition is 3 porterhouse steaks for $6.29/lb and a few weeks ago a whole pork loin for $1.29/lb that I cut up into 2 nice roasts and 8 boneless pork chops. I put everything in gallon Ziploc freezer bags and get ALL of the air out using the water displacement technique which is awesome as unlike a vacuum sealer uses far less expensive bags, is silent, can be done without power and doesn't take up valuable kitchen real estate. By repackaging everything without the bulky store packaging I can fit far more into our freezer. I also scored a brake bleeder kit and FoodSaver's jar adapter kit so I can vacuum seal dry goods like rice, rolled oats, beans etc. into wide mouth quart canning jars, also independent of electricity. After years of contemplating the options I finally got stocked up like I wanted to. Freeze dried foods were always way too expensive and I hesitated on canned foods as I didn't want to waste money without a plan to rotate through it. A few other products to mention, Sardines in olive oil, canned mushrooms and evaporated milk (yes, I know the last 2 aren't canned meat). I don't like powdered low fat milk, so instead, with a 12oz can of evaporated whole milk you add another can full of water to make milk and it's a good amount (3 cups), tastes pretty good and is great for cooking. Just my 2 cents, good luck to us all.
I love all you had to say. So, I appreciate you 2 cents worth.
@tomj528, thanks for that 2 cents...good info!👍
Tomj528 thanks from North Pole Alaska. I have a question thou talked about water sealing bags, I freeze a lot could you explain it? Also how much did the break bleeder cost? I would like to do that also.
@@krisqueen5939 I use ordinary Ziploc gallon freezer bags and use the "water displacement technique" which you can find in a few videos on here to see it. I like to use our pasta pot/stock pot, filling it halfway full with water. I seal the bags leaving about an inch unsealed with my index finger in the gap to ensure that it allows the air to escape instead of accidentally sealing. Then I push the bag under the water, forcing the air out of the bag and making sure to dip the locking seal below the water line but leaving the water line below the top of the bag and then I seal the last inch of the locking seal. I pull it out of the water, press the entire seal again to make sure it's well seated and then dry off the outside of the bag and it's ready for the freezer. Another tip, I roll the opening of the bags inside out before filling the bags so nothing gets on the seal. This works very well for grocery store meats, butter, English muffins, etc. Everything we get from our local butcher is wrapped in butcher paper so no excess packaging and it's good for up to a year in the freezer so no reason to repackage it.
The brake bleeder kit was $20 if I recall and I got it from Amazon. There are many different ones listed but they're all the same and made in China like everything else these days.

Don't forget the Foodsaver jar adapter kit as well

I've tried to include the Amazon links but who knows if they'll be "allowed". Say "hi" to Santa for me and cheers!
As a prepper I frequently experiment with recipes using my preps. Spam, broken up into pieces, does wonders for a pot of split pea soup.
Cut up fired spam into rice and it's awesome
The Alaska Granny channel has a multitude of "prepper meals- check her out; she's a genius with menus!
I agree absolutely!
Spam tastes good. I like to slice it, fry it and it it like I would a Hamburger.
Good idea. I add it to fried rice 👍
The tuna in oil can help you a little more in a more serious survival situation because you can actually use that oil to make a little candle with a wick. Great post. Thanks for sharing once again.
One of the things I found in this last panic buying thing people were doing is that place is people don’t exactly attribute with food had stock still like the dollar tree stores
Yup, Walmart, Kroger, etc was packed but I could breeze in and out of the Dollar Tree no problems. That's how I got hooked on those Hormel chicken tamales 😔😂
Don't forget to check the "other" stores. Dollar General, Family Dollar and Dollar Tree. They have both the name brands and off brands/store label stuff. Be adventurous and try stuff, I found chicken bologna, sounds crazy, but, it was pretty good, mild flavor and NOT overly salty. I buy one of something, try it and then make a buy/pass decision on adding it to the pantry. Lastly, cheap does not always mean bad. Stack food to the rafters Friends, inflation always hits necessities first and that's food.
oh yeah I have done entire videos on dollar tree and dollar general lots of good stuff there. Agree on trying new stuff ya never know if you dont try it
Dollar Tree is LOADED with the Tyson canned Chicken! They also have a lot of Boyar Dee Ravioli, and tons of Bags of Pasta. They also have the large Campbell's cans of Pork & Beans!
During the lock downs, the tractor store was the only place I could find flour and other baking goods.
@@brandi8040 Very cool, we gotta think outside the box and quick on out feet. Have a Merry Christmas.
Buy bacon jerky. Just as good and cheaper
Point of order: A true Texan NEVER puts bean IN chili. However we will put chili ON beans.
Yea that not chilli thats ground beef with seasoning
I didn’t know that was TexMex, leave out the beans
I love that chili with or without beans argument 😂😊
Me and beans don’t get along so I always get it without beans. Love it over rice with cheddar
Yes...Spam, tuna, sardines, herring, salmon, ham, Dinty Moore beef, Vienna sausages, etc. Meat provides necessary protein. Best to stock up now before the fall hits with increased COVID-19 cases.
Stock up on water, vitamins, starches like rice, potatoes, canned veggies, medication, first aid,candles, matches, and so on.
Some other ones to add to your list that I've found canned: tamales, sausage gravy, chicken a la king, smoked oysters, dried beef. If you add in some cured/dried meats, some pepperonis and salamis can last a long time if they're vacuum sealed. Country cured ham also lasts a really long time unrefrigerated.
Just had tamales and beans for supper. I haven't had canned tamales since the 1970s I will be adding that to my list, thanks from North Pole Alaska
Every prepper I watch doesn’t seem to realize there is canned breakfast sausage and gravy available too. Family Dollar, Dollar Tree and Walmart all carry it. Libby’s makes it and there is another brand carried at the dollar stores. I haven’t tried the Libby’s yet but the off brand is pretty good. Y’all should give it a try.
Hmmm, did not know that
Just discovered your channel 15 mins ago. Love it. My Husband and I have been talking about prepping, realizing how important it's going to be. We started with flour, sugar, molasses, canned goods, pasta, rice, sauces, ect. We're in B.C., and in Canada, I notice our cans are smaller. Although we have a lot of the same name brands that you do in the U.S., the portions are much smaller. I'm sitting here looking at the size of the cans you're holding and realizing we're getting screwed lol!! Even in 2022, the shelves in our town are often empty, and certain Items won't show up for weeks, it's eerie.. Love the channel, VERY useful.
🥇🏅🎖️first guy online to get to the subject and not blab bout other stuff
I live in California and was storing up for the Big One (earthquake) and didn't go to the store for several months, I had everything I needed with no worries :)
Food insurance is the perfect term! I can't say how important this is. As a child my family had to head into the WV hills for shelter during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Canned goods were about the only option back then except for WW2 MREs. Canned meat and canned fruit topped everyone's list. I remember vividly watching my parents load up our 1960 brown Rambler station wagon and heading to the hills around the Greenbriar Hotel. This is to say how true your advise is for today's times.
BTW, Love the CD Sign, as a former 911 Police Dispatcher I dispatched for Police, Fire, EMS, and Civil Defense. Haven't seen those signs in many years. Used to see them everywhere during the Cold War 60s-70s.
Yeah its not a real one, its a repro, but i remember seeing them on buildings growing up in NYC in the 70s too
Lentils are a very good protein. During WW2, the ppl were told to replace meat with lentils. My parents were survivers of WW2 and depression. After all this was over, I was born, my mom continued using lots of lentils and continued cooking in that style.
Whenever ppl thi nk of lentils, all they know is lentil soup. My mom used lentils as meat and to stretch the meat. I though ya'll might like knowing what she did with lentils.
She made bbqs (some ppl call them slopy joes) she added cooked lentils to the mixture and it tastes the same.
She made beef stew and added lentils while cooking (at end). Stretched the meat.
She made lentil gravy. Added lentils to our gravy and not as much meat eaten.
And then there was the lentil gravy that she added cut up green beans, mushrms. carrots, whatever she had. Put this lentil gravy over mashed potatoes, noodles or rice. It was a meatless meal.
There was a lentil burger made by mixing cooked lentils, ( drained) egg, breadcrumbs and whatever spices you like. Clove of fresh garlic in there. Formed into patties and frozen. Cook frozen. Lettuce, tomato and a bun. Good, but not as good as a hamburger.
I made lentil hummus once. Got recipe from www. It was just smashed up lentils, oil, garlic and spices. It was good, but work. Good for sandwiches if need be.
If didnt have broth for soup or gravy, she used bullion cubes. Works well in a pinch. Im stocked up on them. Store well and dont take up much space.
Hope i was helpful.
Wow thank u for the great ideas.
I agree dried lentils, beans of all types, canned as well. Really stretches the protein.
Thanks for the ideas! I always wanted to try lentils but didn't know how to use them. 😉
I love lentils and they are easy to digest unlike beans. Very versitle
Thanks for the great ideas !!
I really encourage people to learn to can. You can learn quickly & then will be able to put shelf stable meat on your shelf. There are longer term storage methods, but we may have a fairly imminent shortage issue
I BOUGHT ALL THE SUPPLIES TO CAN ONLY TO FIND OUT IT'S TOO DIFFICULT ON AN ELECTRIC STOVE.....GAS WORKS WELL....TOO HARD TO REGULATE THE HEAT............
StrawBerryTart
I have used electric and gas. Either one is tricky to start. The more you do it, the easier it is. Now I know to turn it up on high to get the steam coming out but then turn it down to medium once it reaches the right pressure. Keep trying. It is worth it.
@@strawberrytart321 I canned for years on an electric cooktop. Now using propane. With either one, it's simply a matter of learning how to regulate for your individual stove. After using electric for so long, I thought it was harder when using propane. An easy way to learn is to can water for a few times. No you don't have to put lids on the jars, unless you want to store some sterile water for emergency/first aid use. Just can water, as if you were canning broth.
If you have a Presto canner with the standard 15 lb weight, buy their adjustable regulator. Part number is 50332. I ordered it for 2 of mine. You adjust the regular to either 5, 10 or 15 lb pressure. Using this regulator makes it easier to maintain pressure at the desired setting. Don't have to fine tune the stove dial setting as finely.
Hope this helps, a bit.
Also , Hickory farms smoked meats and cheeses don't have to be refrigerated until you start using them , ( I believe). They are really good , maybe a little salty.
Being in durable cans and having a long shelf life, these items would be very nice to add to food distributions so school kids can take food home for the weekend and the summer.
If you like spam, the walmart brand " great value" luncheon meat is leaner, and a lot cheaper. Try a can.
That is probably why I like it, I have tried it before but never knew that
If you live in Texas HEB their brand is fantastic.
My wife is a big fan of “Treet,” so we usually have plenty of that on standby, but I tried the Great Value brand you are talking about, and actually liked it better.
I've seen videos showing the Walmart brand "spam" cans don't keep as well.
@Cyndi Rothrock Dollar General is cheaper that the big box stores
Dice spam in 1/2" squares. Fried in hot pan until crispy and brown. Add cooked rice, mixed veg, canned pineapple and soy sauce. Feed 4! Great meal
Always liked that combo!
A good investment to make, is a pressure canner. Prices on canned meat has increased considerably. For instance, Keystone Meats were 7 or $8 last year. This year, Amazon has them listed around $25 a can for beef and ground beef. I have stopped buying those, and just buy extra meat at the grocery store and can it myself. A bit of work involved, but substantially cheaper
Canned 4 turkeys and 16 chickens this spring.
It also last longer. When in glass jars and properly stored home canned hamburger, sausage, etc. pretty much his indefinite shelf life.
Right now I have 4 cans of salmon, 2 cans of hash. I stocked up on chicken and ground beef that I have in my freezer,I also have some frozen fish. Thank you for sharing this important information.
Thank you for the information! I want to add one more thing to your list. Dirty Moore Beef Stew!I live in Hurricane country! I just wanted to give you this information you may or may not like! When the power is out and I don't have time to get the camp stove out Ditty More Beef Stew can be eaten cold out of the can. Now I didn't say it is really good that way, just that it can be eaten that way. Trust me don't do many of the other things cold out of the can. There are some other things that can be eaten cold out of the can, but not many. Don't do chili! But one my favorite ways to do the Ditty Moore Beef Stew is to put the stew in a pan fill the can with water and add that to the stew then add about 1 or 2 Table Spoons to rice to it. You can adjust the amount you want. And there are other things that can be added to to get it to feed more than one or when doing a lot of work clearing tree limbs off the house or whatever you need more than the one can. The can has a lot of beef, potatoes and carrots, not a lot of water. It is my #1 go to!
Always love your advice. I was prepping since Hurricane Sandy and my husband made fun of me. The S didn't hit the F then, but that doesn't stop me. A Girl Scout is always prepared. I enjoy/ welcome your input. As usual, you don't scare the S out of folks. Keep up the great work and God bless you!
Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Hormel Chili-No beans
Hormel Chili-No beans has 15 g protein, meat and beans has 17 g protein. The Vegetarian Hormel Chili- has 11g.
Been in Warp Drive Since January adding to our food preps. I INTEND to keep doing it through the Summer. I am EXPECTING empty stores this Fall!
Can you advise what you like to get for long term? Thank you.
This comment aged well... you were 100% right.
@@markm2302 Pretty much what all the prepper channels are saying. Longterm canned foods, bulk rice & Beans,maybe some grains you can grind into flour, and defiitely do not forget canned & dried fruits & veggies. I JUST reached a THREE YEAR supply of Vitamins & Supplements for my family.
If you slice spam thin and fry it up it tastes like fried bologna which I used to fry up with onions and jalapenos and put it on toast. Very flavorful and filling.
Armour dried beef in a little jar. Yum. Creamed chipped beef on toast. Better than S O S.
I bought a nice piece of beef without a lot of fat and I got the salt to cure it with. It’s much cheaper and you get a lot more.
Learning to can meats is another thing people can do when they can afford extra or it's on sale. Great way to have meat storage and add to those beams and rice preps!
One thing I have been switching over to is jerky. Some are very high in protein, and they can be added to food or eaten as a snack.
the prophet ez1
I’m curious what are some ways you add jerky to food? I have several packages past expiration 5 months. Any suggestions & how to keep longer? Thanks!!
@@erickabursma5552 , I personally think, from my experience buy jerky that it does not last as long. It could have been the brand, but I was disappointed as I thought that jerky lasted forever.
Worth mentioning is getting containers like jerry cans or even the collapsible camping water containers to have clean water ...just in case...and there is less need to panic buy bottled water.
Also boxed potatoes,they are cheap and easy to make
I have been this for many years. My experience goes back to my childhood. I’m #7 of 14 siblings. Our parents prepped us well. Thanks for you up-to-date. A couple of your choices I haven’t thought about in a while. Thanks buddy. 👌🏽❣️
Creative Ideas! Go for "lite" or "low sodium" versions when possible. Among other great benefits... keeps thirst at bay for situations where getting enough water may be a concern. Thanks for the info!!!
When I started prepping last year I got the keystone beef for .50 a can on clearance at Walmart. I bought like 15 cans. Tried it, don't like it 😅 but I don't feel too bad about it. Beats starving. The chicken is good. I really needed this video. Thank you.
SW MOJO I’m. It sure how you used it but if you were just heating it up to eat as you would roast beef plain, that may be why you didn’t like it. The canned beef is great in soup, sauces. Adding barley and onions, carrots, celery diced potato some seasonings and bullion makes a nice hearty soup! You got an awesome buy!
agamum1 in Milwaukee u can find KeyStone at Walmart n meijer. They always stock the cans way down on the bottom shelfs. You have to look very closely cause it almost looks like someone hides them. You can find chicken most of the time. But the rest r harder to find. The prices reasonable. They r the healthiest can meats out there. It is made in USA n only ingredients is meat n cube of salt. I have a stock of a bunch of those cans. They r 28 oz. I am 70 yrs young n my family thinks I am losing it because I stocked up on so many. The expiration dates r awesome. Bear Creek produces r good too. I am going to try the beef KeyStone with the package of bear creek stroganoff pasta mix. Bear creek comes in a package, it is also soup mix. U can just add water n if u want add meat or veggies to it if u want too but u don't have to add anything it is eatable just as the soup mix. I just read that KeyStone is Amish I never seen that. One advise is do not order KeyStone from Walmart. I ordered an the cans were all dented. Not a little but a lot . I returned all of them. Stay safe n keep prepping.
Hi I been following you for long time now cuz of you I got ready Even thou I don't HV a huge warehouse bit do HV an extra room and got most and more of we need including a well provided first aid kit. Thanks so much . Be bless and safe. From New Orleans Louisiana
You are a very ethical prepper! :)
Thank you for helping people out teaching them you are one of my favorite and Alaskan prep.
Great food suggestions! I like the flavored tuna, salmon, chunk light tuna, Hormel canned meat is good, and sardines. I'm going to start canning freshly cooked meat, veggies, fruits in jars too.
Keystone meats are outstanding. Have Pulled pork, beef, hamburger, and chicken. Been grabbing one or two every week to stockpile, also good for camping meals. 5 year lifespan is also a major point.
I eat a lot of spam and i prefer to overcook it and get it it to a crispy level before the crunch.
I haven't been through all the comments, and don't remember seeing anything in the video about having at least one manual can opener. I appreciate the video and wish you the best of luck.
Yeah I have them hidden all over, good point I didnt mention it but I do have a good deal of them in my preps.
I'm a prepper...recently. oven can flour pasta rice beans...I'm on a roll. I can freeze food but what if the electricity is kaput...for who knows how long. Canning staples...anything your family can eat is worth the effort to prepare. Think the LDS ppl have had the right idea all these years.
We recently purchased 4 new storage shelves units because our food storage has increased. The shelves are bigger and the actual shelf is a recycled plastic/rubber composite board. The old shelves were wooden pressboard and a few spills proved how useless they were as they swelled and fell apart. Meat has increased significantly in some grocery stores, so your advice of stocking up on canned meats and other meals is spot on. By the way, Campbell's Tomato soup cans are good for about 5 years past the "use by" date, 7/2015. I just threw away a case of 24 because several cans leaked at the top and others were badly corroded at the seal. Very good video!
Here on Guam, we call Spam TYPHOON STEAK.🙂 A must when prepping for a typhoon.
Thank you for the information! There is one thing I also stock up on Dinty Moore Beef Stew! It is good tasting, a complete meal, can be eaten from the can but best if heated. But I have started pressure canning things and vacuum seal dry things. Yes many don't like beans. But dry beans vacuum sealed in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers and drying packs should last for years. Just some ideas. Pressure canned meat are good for years, only downside is the glass. But the Ball jars made now are good enough as long as you don't get really stupid with them.
Good advice on all points. I also can some of our dried beans for heat & eat meals. Also experimenting with cooking beans and rice separately, then, dehydrating them for "instant" beans and "instant" rice. Can combine or use separately. Add boiling water at approx 1:1 ratio to rehydrate in a few minutes. Another form of "heat & eat". Dehydrating frozen mixed vegetables, for example and storing them in vac sealed mason jars greatly reduces storage space needed. I use a FoodSaver with the jar sealing attachment. It's easy to toss a handful of mixed vegetables, dehydrated onions & celery, into a pot with some type of meat and cook for a hearty meal. Cook with rice for even more nutrition and meal extender, as well.
You can buy can chilli add tomatoes, a bit of bell peppers and onions to stretch it out !
Chilli Mac
I have limited freezer space, so I stock a lot of canned meat. Don't forget about canned clams, shrimp, and crab. Linguine with clam sauce is a super easy and cheap dish. Crab cakes for a change of pace, and canned shrimp and crab can be added to gumbo. Also precooked shelf stable pouches of pepperoni and bacon.
I grew up eating fried mackerel cakes. My folks couldn't afford salmon. So mackerel is a staple in my pantry along with sardines and tuna. Your post reminded me that I've forgotten about canned oysters. No, not as good a fresh, but still well worth having on the shelf, too.
@@oldtimerlee8820 my dad loved mackerel and would put it in potato soup, after dipping some out for me first, lol. And my brother started stocking it to save money and discovered he liked it better than tuna.
@@paulastrachan4053 Glad to hear that I'm not alone. Canned mackerel has almost disappeared from the stores. I suspect that's because many have come to believe its best used for dog food. (sigh) I've never eaten it in a soup as I grew up with fried mackerel cakes. Prefer them, today, to salmon cakes. Acquired taste, I guess. :-)
PS: I've often eaten it, like sardines. Straight from the can with a sprinkle of black pepper, saltine crackers & a touch of cider vinegar, if available.
another pork processing plant here in Iowa closed down for decontamination after over 500 employees tested positive for the big nasty. I was able to buy a can of Keystone chicken but the beef was all gone. I get Hormell canned turkey. I also have found halal versions of Spam and corned beef. I also have found the chicken Vienna sausages
Where did you find the halal food?
@@Td-gn5un there is a store in my city that sells halal meats, spices, different rices and other items that are used by both Muslims and nonMuslims who want middle eastern flavors
@@Td-gn5un I get sone at.zwal-Mart and some I get drom a local store run by some members of my mosque
@Cyndi Rothrock no Kroger here in Iowa. We have Fareway, HyVee, Price Chopper, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Fresh Thyme
Halal version of spam? 😂
First time viewer and the post was great. Additionally I like Hormel Compleats Roast Beef & Mashed potatoes with gravy. Single serving 220 cal & 14 grams protein. Heat in microwave but I did it in my Sun Oven just to be sure - took about 30 min at high noon. There are other combos. Don't forget clams - add to pancake batter for lunch, make chowder with evap milk, onion, celery or corn.
Sorry - I love canned smoked clams, but I can’t let this one go buy without asking for more details. You’re adding clams to pancake batter? Please explain.
I bought a bunch of Compleats and Ready Meals from the grocery store in September 2019 (their best buy date) for 48¢ apiece. I've been eating them here and there and they're pretty good
I make a canned clam spaghetti sauce. A little butter (will be trying butter powder) clams, parsley, and heat to boiling. Throw in cooked spaghetti, turn off heat, and toss until coated. My friend doesn't like cream or tomato sauces, so this is what he gets. I like the cream sauces so I add cream to mine.
Keystone canned pork makes killer pulled pork sandwiches just add some sweet baby ray bbq sauce and heat.
They have a great value brand of that roast beef with gravy that comes in a smaller can at Walmart
You can make a really good Mulligan Stew with corned beef. yellow onion, green beans, corn, potatoes stewed tomatoes, an a little curry powder, seasoned salt Really good. the smell peculiar. But flavor is really good GREAT with fresh cornbread
I HATE regular SPAM but the oven roasted turkey SPAM is soooooooooo good. Also people forget the dollar store has lots of good canned meat on the cheap. I use the canned corn beef to make hash as well.
From North Pole Alaska, saw the aurora dancing last night. My kitchen pantry has cases of Alaskan Salmon. Very good, mostly Alaska Red Salmon.
You mentioned Field Day in CA. It reminded me if my dad. He did those all the time. He was very active in the HAM radio community in So Cal. Thanks for the memory.
Walmart has Augason Farms 48 hour buckets for $19.99 each, i get 2 every time i go to Walmart, to date i have 60 of them, you dont have to buy all at once, $40 a month will get you a nice stock of emergency food in a few months, also grab a few Mountain House Meals when you go there, they are in the camping section. it all adds up and its good for 25 years...
Thank you George for all you do.
I love spam and corned beef, I put potatoes or corn in it. Yummy, some white rice, that's it. Lol. Thanks for your videos. Stay safe
Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have thought about the tab or keyed cans lasting less time.
If your rural as I am, get a flock of chickens... eggs everyday might get boring.... but solid source of protein. Let a hen raise up extra chick's to adults... slaughter for chicken. Use heritage breeds...a good combo egg/ meat bird for example is Production Reds, R.I. Reds, Barred Rock... just a few examples. They can forage for food, and you can feed them most scraps you will have from making meals or left over stuff before it turns. And eggs from home chickens taste so much better than store (the meat does too).
I’m a firm believer in picking up meats when they go on sale and home canning. I’m trying to do everything my grand mother taught me to preserve foods in several ways. My two favorites are canning and dehydrating. My seal-a-meal is my best friend 😊 We must all prepare.
Same here. Canned most of the meats that were in my freezer (& appropriate vegetables). Found chicken on sale at $.59/lb in 10 lb bags. Canned 10 bags. Boston butts @ $.99/lb went into jars, too. Will be doing turkey when it goes on sale in a month or so. Canned fried turkey is delicious!! .... Dehydrating frozen vegetables is easy. All the prep work is done. Not hard to dehydrate onions, green peppers, celery, greens, fruits and such. To have handy for soups and snacks. I use a FoodSaver with the jar attachment to stash dried foods in mason jars.
YES! Agree 100%. Believe we have an obligation to do what we can to prepare for whatever the future brings.
Excellent tips. Thanks for sharing. We are also buying whole chickens and turkey. They last a year in the freezer and make a lot of meals.
And if you have no electricity?
Tend to keep some canned meats on hand for hurricane season every year. Texas tells us to have 3 days supply in case of hurricane or other disaster.
Keystone Meats are a little hard to come by now there's definitely a backlog I was ordering from Pleasant Hill grain last order was for 5 cases one of each I got three two are on back order I'm still waiting for them. I had to chuckle at the Underwood when you said your mom made sandwiches my mom used to make the chicken and the ham into sandwiches you must be a 70s kid. I have to go back to the grocery store and stock up haven't been in a month it was pretty slim pickings last time on some of the items you have on the counter with you. Thanks for doing what you do head on a swivel take care of the ones you care for.
Always the calm voice of reason, thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
Perfect! I was trying to figure out what I needed to add to my preps. This was a great addition.
I don't consider myself a prepper
But I do like to be well prepared in case of an emergency. So I go grocery shopping throughout the months and I purchase a few items here and there only when they are on sale and store it in a ready box
So I don't have to panic last minute and try to go buy everything all at once leaving other people without anything
Great video take care and be safe
Thanks for the suggestions and sharing your knowledge. We also buy canned bulk sausage and jars of pickled pig feet. We used to eat canned anchovies, but after my spouse developed Gout, we stopped buying it. I found canned, cooked ground beef (called Beef Sprinkles) at Dollar General. It's the only store I know of that sells it.
Did you know you can make your own "hamburger rocks"? You can cook and dehydrate hamburger, yourself. A lot of backpackers do it to have lightweight trail food. If interested google hamburger rocks for more information & how-to. Thanks for the tip on Dollar General. I'll check ours next time I go in that direction.
@@oldtimerlee8820 Thanks for the tip on making "hamburger rocks". I found several how-to-videos.
Thanks for the video. Yes, I buy all those products. They last a long time. Keep prepping guys. Food shortages soon.
Thank you for the information on meat choices.
Those KEYSTONE canned meats are damn good. LAKESIDE is another brand, but they have cooked ground beef too.
We love the beef chunks especially. Mix with noodles, or rice. It's a meal
Spam is good if you slice it thin and fry it or if you chop it up in little pieces and put it in fried rice!!
Another good food with meat to store is Dinty Moore canned meals and there are generic brands as well. Great meals in a pinch.
Love your honesty. I think it makes no sense to not be prepared even if you doubt infrastructure failures and what not. We have blackouts supply chain issues and many other reasons to just set aside a few bucks worth of shelf stables to set aside for when not if situations arrise requires.
I've got a lot of variety of survival foods like 6 months food 4patriots your gonna want some meat to add or your gonna get tired of the same thing also get plenty if salt, pepper, hot sauce soy sauce etc
Pretty much on the right track, different brands. Good information, will pass it on. Cheers.🍻
Good videos. You can also tape some mayonnaise or mustard packets onto the packets of chicken or tuna packets.
Thanks for the video!! I love keystone beef.i have never tried the tuna creations and didn't know they made can turkey. Going to try these.
Thanks again!
and if you take that roast beef and mix it with brown gravy serve over mashed potatoes and bread it's a wonderful hot beef sandwich corn &
Salad .
Yes, we keep brown gravy mix in case we can't make it from scratch. Would be great with a can of beef and mashed potatoes or rice. Got some carrots and you have a stew.
Yes , good deal
Yes , and I love can tuna or salmon w/16 ounce cooked macaroni & 1/3cup mayonnaise, lemon pepper, to taste,Yams w/ marshmallows, brown sugar, Pea, Salad homemade dinners Rolls.
canned bacon is insanely expensive per pound...
SPAM has been selling like crazy..
BUY and freeze ground beef.. most bang for the buck
I pressure can bacon. It is super easy to do. I usually do it with bacon ends. Not that it is any cheaper but I like the end product better. The texture is not the same as fried. It is like a smoked pork. I do 1/2 pint jars. I like to put a heaping table spoon and a big pile of greens in a skillet. No left overs. :) Pressure canning ground beef is more involved. Flavor is good and super convenient. My your pantry be ever full.
I did a Walmart haul on meat yesterday. All on sale. I’m pressure canning mine!
I have nearly everything on your list (except the Yoder's and a couple others). Yes, it was amazing to watch stuff like SPAM disappear from Walmart overnight. Insofar as it not being "health food," it all is protein and calories - both absolutely essential in many survival situations.
I have been stocking up on the Keystone canned Beef, Pork , and Chicken for sometime now. It is canned in Lima ,Ohio. The last time I was at WalMart , they didn't have any canned pork. Hopefully they will have some tomorrow morning .
John Young , after day expired, how long I can keep them
@@jacquelinecaballero757 Keep them at 7 0 deg or lower and they will be good 3 -5 years past the exp.date. Store it where the cans don't rust.
They sell Keystone at Ingels in Georgia and priced is better than online. They have pork, beef, hamburger, chicken` and turkey.
Diced spam, fried with rice.. its pretty good. Good easy food storage meal. Also a good trail meal if you use instant rice.
Throw some canned pineapple chunks into that spam & rice mixture!
The DAK canned ham is really good. I like to dice it up and add to scalloped or au gratin potatoes. They sell them at Menards and are on sale time to time.
We like it with homemade mac & cheese or hashbrown casserole. Make great sandwiches, too.
I bought about 25 cans of the corned beef, from Brazil or Argentina. Ive always liked the stuff , and I once found two cans in the house that were both 17 years old. Man, they tasted delicious, better than the fresh cans being made now.
I found for the money and content, Armour brand Chili with beans is tops. I bought the 24 once cans for $2.24 a piece ( they were on sale) Each can has about 900 calories, so one can + a few cups of rice should take care of you for a whole day. Now for my bugout or go bag, I have tins of sardines, packed in oil. Each tin weighs 3.75 ounces and they are small, thin and compact, about the size of a deck of playing cards. Each tin has 340 calories and 14 grams of protein. They store so easily in my go-bag. I dont really like sardines but they are mainly for a total emergency, when you have to flee your home at a moments notice. Plus, I have a dog that will need food too, so if I really dont want them and can scrounge something else, Willow my dog will be happy to eat the sardines herself.
