It's not as big because I didn't have as much room as you, but I can still hold about 800 cans and still have top and bottom storage. I do have a question, do you have any type of inventory system?

      ManVs Fish, yesterday was the best time to start now is the second best time. Based on your name, I might suggest hitting up lowes for 3 giant freezers and then filling them with your fish.

  • @williammiller6344
    @williammiller6344 Před 6 lety +7

    After watching this wonderful video I would think that the 2x4s would be 8 feet tall. Because it would be difficult to reach the top shelves to load and unload. Plywood is 8 feet long and so is the corner bead so those side 2x4 should be 8 ft as well, that would be a total of 21 2x4x8 . My church gives away food boxes to the needy and this idea would be perfect for insuring rotation. Thank you for sharing this idea!!

    • @HomesteadEngineering
      @HomesteadEngineering  Před 6 lety +3

      William, Actually they are 8' long. My bill of materials is incorrect and I'll have to fix that. Its like you say, everything is 8' feet long, I made no cuts. They are 104" tall because I have a 10' ceiling. I think this would be great for a church where you go through a lot of food. It's a bit much for us to rotate through with just our family. I am working on pairing it down. Thanks!

  • @plurmingo1
    @plurmingo1 Před 6 lety +7

    Love this ! But I’d have to make on a smaller scale as I rent a trailer.
    A few ideas I have in place already might help you.
    I number my can on the bottom, since they are their sides. Highest # in the front, shop for product at 5.
    I would keep 2 labels from used cans ( your system), one on the front, easy labeling, and one on the back for easy location refill.
    You could even look for an app to help keep track of food storage. Something that you could scan the item, input how many you have on hand, and print. So you have a monthly consumption rate that will help your family shop smarter. We like to keep a 32 can count. Meaning 32 max / 5 min. .
    Hope this helps and thanks for the video

  • @storbokki371
    @storbokki371 Před 4 lety +2

    the "standard" shelf system you started with works great if you don't put it up against a wall, instead leaving it open so you can restock it from the back. Only use shallow shelves on walls.

  • @smcstitches3558
    @smcstitches3558 Před 3 lety +1

    People laugh at us that stock up on food but I tell you it saves a ton of money on your groceries and allows you to take advantage of sales and frees up money for other things. I started doing this two years ago and went from having to rely on foodbanks to having 6-18 months worth of food in my pantry and freezers at all times on the same income as before and my rent increasing by $180 per month. When covid hit it didn't affect me one bit and both my grown kids were able to get everything they needed from my house for them and my grandkids. They have now started stocking there homes like I did and are loving the money it saves them and we have a new hobby we can do together and they really appreciate how I changed their mindset. It is almost a game to figure out the best deals ha ha.

  • @totoroben
    @totoroben Před 4 lety +3

    Pretty cool. One suggestion for preppers: stop buying canned beans. Buy dry beans and a nice pressure cooker to cook them with. The shelf life for dry beans is longer, they taste better, and don't have plastic lining BPA in them or other associated linings.

    • @oldtimerlee8820
      @oldtimerlee8820 Před 4 lety

      Easy to can a batch or 2 at a time for heat & eat. If investment in jars and equipment is expensed over the life of same, buying dry beans & peas is CHEAP when compared to buying cans of same. Added benefit, I know exactly what's in the 18 pints of pintos I canned 2 weeks ago (4 lb dry beans). Instead of canning, cooked beans can be dehydrated for "instant" beans. I've done blackeyed peas that way and vacuum sealed them in mason jars.
      I like that rotating system for the canned stuff I still buy. Wish I had temp controlled space to build one myself.

    Nice work. Watch the sodium. All that food is packed with crap we don't need. Don't get me wrong, I eat it too. I went to frozen vegetables after reading the ingredients on a can. Yes a freezer is not grid down storage. A garden then canning is the way to go. Not there yet but I aspire to. Till then you will be prepared. Keep on keepin' on.

    • @HomesteadEngineering
      @HomesteadEngineering  Před 4 lety +1

    • @HomesteadEngineering

Load it when you come home with groceries and pull them out right from the kitchen. Have a cabinet door to match. Just a thought...

    Great Idea! Not meant as a criticism but you could likely have 5-6 more shelves in the same amount of space if you widened the shelves just enough that the cans could roll INSIDE the outer 2x4's, thus enabling you to greatly reduce the distance between each shelf and utilized the wasted space above each row of cans...Thanks for posting!

      Yes, I have talked about this before. You can basically keep it the same but attach another shelf on the bottom side of every support rail to fill the space. The downside is that it's much harder to reach your hand in to unjam problems. Thanks!

    • @HomesteadEngineering

      Irene, The size of the rack is dependant on the size of the family. You could make a few shelves dedicated to 30 year #10 cans if you did not need as much space for normal rotations. I load cans from the left and take them from the right so there is no need to stand behind it. I have it setup for various sized cans and have not had any issues with that so far.

    7:38 Good thing you make a rolling storage rack to store 50 jars of mayonaise. :D When a natural disaster comes and you have to live off what you packed away, the mayo is typically the first thing most people run out of.
    From looking at the edge if it, there's a lot of wasted space. The space between the top of 1 can and the top of the can under it is more than enough space for another can in there. I bet if you rearranged the way the shelves mount to the supports, you could make it hold 2x as many cans and only stick out from the wall a couple more inches.

    • @HomesteadEngineering
      @HomesteadEngineering  Před 7 lety +1

      Well I don't actually have a full row of Mayo. Some items, that don't last too long, I interlace. I purposely kept the extra space between shelves to maintain access. I can stick my hand in there and fix any problems that might occur. One other note, I always size things to reduce cuts and waste. These shelves are 2 feet wide because that is a standard sheet of plywood cut down the middle. If you made it 25" wide, you would throw the other half away. Thanks for your comments!

    @sunearhart6807 Před 2 lety +1

    Nice, however. I would submit that long-term food storage needs to be organized by the year in which it should be eaten. Therefore, if your plan is to hoard 10 years worth of food, then you must dedicate 10 spaces to store that food. This method would insure the least amount of food being discarded and assist in assuring that you have the correct percentages of food types (protein, carbs. etc.). This requires a significant amount of research to ensure knowledge of longevity, a documented plan, a commitment to that plan, space and sufficient funds to carry it out. Plans must include types of storage, ie, cans, freeze dried, canned, bulk, vacuum sealed, gardening capacity, etc. Must be committed to starting perhaps 3 years out, as well as working from the longest period down, 10, 9, 8, etc. New food purchases must be specific to fill in the gaps for each individual year. Emphasis should be on proteins since they cannot be grown easily. You must then be committed to use as your only source of meals that which has been saved for that specific year, plus that which you have planned to grow. This will ensure that quantities, taste, and storage methods are accurate, and if not adjust. Keep a log of each specific food type saved by method saved and update if needed to increase or decrease longevity for future storage. As you complete a year rotate in the next year and replenish the furthest out year. Yes. That is a lot of planning. Do not forget vitamins and supplements. Include in each years supply the supporting stuff like oils, flour, yeast, gravy, etc. Check their longevity.
