Rice = 40 Dollars
3 Bags of Oats= 20$
Chickpeas= 20$
Beans= 20$
*Correction I meant to write "pour" not poor (although thats a good pun) and honey has antibiotic properties, not anti-septic!

You're better sealing in multiple smaller bags than one big one. This will insure that the food stays fresh longer and also prevents the chance that if the seal breaks while in storage not all the food goes bad by the time you need it. Remember the old saying, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket". Good luck to everyone, but the next one will be worse so Get Prepared!
So many errors in this video. Makes the whole channel seem like a mess.
What other mistakes did you notice?
Or just make several big food depots. 😂 but you have a good point
Make a large 5gal bucket then have some smaller ones for short term supply shortages.
Save the large ones for when supply stops.
The buckets protect the mylar bags. Check the bags for the seal after a while. If they're good it shouldn't change staying in the bucket and not moving.
He did a video 3 mths ago and all he had was 5 yrs half rations for 1 person. I'm confused on the channel but maybe it's because I don't really watch. He doesn't have canned goods in his preps so maybe that's why it's paltry.
1. In the US, you can get a 25 pound bag of rice for $11, 25 pound bag of flour for $7, etc. Rice should be viewed as a food extender that when added to something like a can of tomato soup will dramatically increase the caloric value of the food and allow many to be filled with it.

2. I have worked time and again with Mylar bags. I have tried them in all kinds of different thicknesses, sizes, manufactures, suppliers, and so forth. I have tried sealing them in multiple ways as well and I have found that they have an unacceptably high failure rate. Typically, Mylar bags are sent through the mail folded up (especially the larger sizes) and the corners of the folds ends up creating microscopic holes that leak air. My success rate with Mylar bags has been between 5% and 40% depending on all sorts of variables. In my hands, these bags are just too expensive with too great a failure rate (with failures often times taking a year or so to manifest itself) to be used.
>
3. Vacuum food sealers offer a great and economical method for storing food. Vacuum food bags are heavy duty and have a failure rate in my hands of less than 5% when care is taken. (Do not use the pleated vacuum bags because they are a nightmare to get to work well with an unacceptably high failure rate. It seems the pleating creates mall channels that are hard to seal properly which leads to failure.) Also, you can get add ons that allow you to vacuum seal foods in jars.
>
4. A great many foods do not need to be stored under a vacuum or in an inert atmosphere to remain viable for extended periods. The real issue that destroys foods are moisture and heat. If you can store your food at or below room temperature while keeping the moisture levels relatively low, then things like rice, pasta, beans, and so forth, can be stored without problem for decades.
>
5. You can get prepackaged (under a vacuum) dry milk, flour, dried apples, oats, beans, rice, sugar, and so forth via mail order or from stores of the Mormon Church at one of their stores across the country (providentliving.lds.org/self-reliance/food-storage/home-storage-center-locations?lang=eng). The dry milk is exceptional and well packaged.
>
6. The greatest threat to food storage is vermin. A mouse or rat can go through a Mylar bag in an instant and they will given any opportunity. I store most of my food such as sugar, pasta, flour, rice, beans, and such, in plastic trash cans with a locking lid. (You can enhance or ensure the seal using duct tape.) These keep the mice and such out and when stored in their original packages in a cool dry environment, the food is good for decades. A month or so ago we sacrificed some pasta that we put into storage in a plastic trash can 14 years ago. It was in its original packaging with no Mylar bag, no oxygen absorbers, no water getters, or anything else, and no one in the family could taste anything different when we cooked it up and ate it. Additionally, as a research chemist who has taught Toxicology as well as Biochemistry at the university for nearly 20 years, I know that these products are nutritionally fine and have not lost any nutritional value.
>
7. Learn how to can. When done properly, food will last indefinitely. When we cooked up the pasts form 14 years ago, we also used canned tomato sauce that was canned a bit over 10 years ago and it was excellent.
>
The bottom line is that one experiment is worth a thousand hypotheses. People need to take the information they can get and then try with trial and error to see what works for them and what does not. Blindly taking advice and using it without some experimentation or long term monitoring is a classic method of failure. Hope this helps.
Cleetus Smith he shows us how to work with Mylar in the end of the video, but I will definitely experiment as well with your suggestions, much appreciated addition to this prep!
I understand that he shows you how to work with Mylar. I watched that and it is what I have done. I have done far more experimentation and have spent several hundred dollars on Mylar bags trying to get them to work before I gave up on them. Here is a tip for you to try though. Pack your food in a Mylar bag, pop in an O2 a water getter and then seal them the best you can. Come back in a week and you should have a nice vacuum bag with your stuff in it. Now wait six months or a year and check out your bags and I think you will discover that quite a few that did have a good vacuum are no longer under a vacuum. In fact, I think you will discover that the more time that goes by, the more bag you have failing on you.
If vermin can eat through Mylar then a plastic garbage can isn't any better. I use a food saver, their bags plus a zip lock freezer bag to store single made meals for one to four people. I store this in a food grade Mylar lined bucket with a lid marking the bucket with its content. I also dehydrate a lot of foods including pre made rice, pasta meals, vegetables and meat ( go further than jerky) and store them in a bucket. There are a few things that bugs and rats can't get through are a metal trash can and a glass container. Light, water, heat and bugs are the enemies of food.
I found that once the buckets are sealed, wipe them down well with a cleaner (I use 'Pine-Sol' diluted with water) to remove any scent of food remaining on the outside. Rodents and insects have little interest in something that only smells of plastic.
Post of the day!
Word of advice ; I've been a painter for 20+ years, the place I work for stores paints for lots of years and those Home Depot buckets don't hold very well with dense or heavy products over time ; they break at the bottom and burst open !!! Get instead the empty ones from paint manufacturers stores since those are designed to hold heavy and dense paint and also the lids have heavy duty seals !! Godspeed everyone !!!
Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.
Thanks!!!
@@jritter1 he forgot to say those buckets come with chemicals so I guess pick your poison
Appreciate the advice.
I've had 100% maple syrup go bad and get moldy. It's honey that lasts forever.
You can re boil (real) maple syrup
Cross contamination Occurred! 🙄
Natural honey, most honey has alot of added sugar
100% maple syrup DOESN'T really go bad... you can literally peel the mold off the top... boil what you need... and it'll be just fine. We used to do that all the time on the farm.
It last longer if it wasn't opened.
Our family is mostly beekeepers, Our farm has over 800 hives over the county, from just 1 hive, you can get more than 100 pounds of honey. We are the keepers of life.
miko wish ya lived close to GA so it could buy honey from ya!
Without you guys there would be a lot less food. So thank you very much.
We are Swarmbustin Honey in PA
miko
would love to learn about bee keeping.
miko Prince Albert, sask?
People are buying this for the end of the world. I'm buying it to survive til the end of the month.
More like the end of the week
Cori Lewis lol 😞
Wow well said
A wise man has stores of choice foods and precious oils. A foolish man devours all. God told Noah how to survive the flood. Noah listened, obeyed, and was saved.
Brian Amen brother! ☦️
Man I miss this part of your channel. I know the new types of videos are probably getting way more traffic but these genuinely helped me. The new ones are just hysteric
Kind of ironic the buckets have "Rona" printed on them. Lol
Rona was a place like Home Depot.
That predictive shit again.
I laughed too hard when I noticed it. 😂
Lol
Funny, but not really that funny.
Not only is this good for prepping but here's so real life stuff that happens more than disaster. Losing your job, can't afford to pay bills. My buddy went bankrupt and was completely devastated after he couldn't find work around 2009. He was unemployed for 2 years and scraping by doing other jobs not in his primary profession for far far less money (we're talking just scraping pennies together to keep the lights on). He ended up tapping into his food preps for SHTF to feed himself and his family. They paid literally $0 for food for almost 5 months feeding 5 mouths. Before they were sending about $1,000 a month on food for everyone. He said it literally saved them from losing the house and his wife's car. He's now since gotten back on his feet, and making great money and has restocked his preps 10 fold. He just needed some time to get back on his feet. And he saved himself thousands of dollars worth of food over almost half a year with food he paid just a couple hundred bucks for years ago when he could afford it. So food prepping is also good for tough times
Nice. This really was SHTF for your friend, and he got through it. I hope they spend less than $1,000 in food per month now, that's excessive... Tonnes of money not going towards retirement/emergency funds/things more enjoyable than food.
My food stores did the same for me when I found myself on a much reduced income for a few months. The money I did get from the government just covered my mortgage and a bit of my utilities. The food i had stored fed us through this time, so prepping is not just for end of the world scenarios but common everyday situations where you find yourself short of money etc.
I had to do the exact same thing in my early twenties; I'd been prepping for a couple of years then the company I worked for went under, I had a family to look after and a home to maintain, and no more money.
Those preps, while we weren't eating like kings, kept us going for a long long time 👍
Great story. Just another reason to plan ahead
@@zecekobold2140 Thanks for sharing that.
I and my father got lost when i was a kid. he packs my food and his food with extra but he never planned on getting lost in the wood. after two days i started eating his extra food and it was pure veggies, me being the picky eater kid but being so hungry they tasted good, trust me you will eat anything when it comes to survival
That right
Hi, I'm so excited to know what happened next if you don't mind.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
What a great way to stop a kid from being a picky eater ;)
You mean "My father and I got lost".
@@floppinfish, wow, when shtf hits, I'm sure this vocab lesson will be worth every penny! ;-)
Here in 2021... preparing more than usual for the coming food shortage because of crop failure, water shortage, and the government taking over the beef industry. Keep prepping yall!
Agreed!!
@Sakamoto Exactly. That was a huge sign.
@Sakamoto I'm still contemplating getting rabbits for meat. still don't know if it would be worth it.
@@Zane-It Yes, definitely. Continual meat source and also fertilizer for your crops, fertilizer and livestock to barter/trade with others.
After dealing with hurricanes, I understand the need for preparation for catastrophic event. To some extent.
Building your whole life about preparing for something that probably won't come in our lifetime, sounds like a lot of anxiety.
I placed my first order just over a week ago with this business. No problem with service. I bought mylar bags for 5 gallon pails, O2 absorbers and another item.
I bought pails from Home Depot for cheap. Tried two to start. DAMN WAS THAT EASY! I used 16kg or long grain rice and 16kg of sugar.
Always be very gentle with mylar bags. I placed the bag in the pail, then gently rounded it out best I could to the shape of the pail. Once half full I shook the product around to fill out gaps to maximize available space. Then I filled the rest.
I bought the cheapest hair straightener from Wal-Mart. Then washed my hand held vacuum attachment with soapy water. As in the video, I used the straightener to seal all but a portion of the bag to insert the O2 absorber and the vacuum attachment. That sealing process went easier than I thought. I was able to grab the end while still keeping it sealed and hit it with the heat to seal it. I will inspect it in a couple of weeks to make sure that bag is still sealed. Should be as it is in the pail with lid securely shut.
Too bad I can't upload images of the work.
I have three more pails to fill now and am now confident with using this.
Edit. A day after I did that I found NOT to use O2 absorbers for sugar as it turns it in to a solid brick. I took it out today. Sugar is good as I learned that quickly.
What i need just as much as Food is a Battery.
I dont know, but there must be something that i can charge while the world
has lots of Electricity and then just put-away and make it wait until i need it, so i
can then charge my Laptop with it, yeah?
Something along those lines?
@@loturzelrestaurant I would suggest a solar charger and a deep cycle battery
Load up on seasonings while you can, being able to change the flavor profile of foods is a most.
Also, excellent barter item!!
must...
John Doe you could buy enough seasonings for a 40lb bag of rice for .99
John Doe If I am eating insects I would like to have some spices
Definitely need spices. Especially salt, sugar, pepper, garlic and chicken bouillon

Hunger is the best chef. ~ Old Saying
@POOR PIRANO Ha, good one! That will teach us, sharing old folk wisdom about the same topic. What were we thinking. thank you.
POOR PIRANO I am proud to be a Boomer. I realize that you know more than me, in fact, you know more than all who came before you. A recent study proved that one can absorb vast knowledge through an osmosis-like process of sitting on a couch with only a thin layer separating your delicate soft skin from the surface of said couch. Be mindful however, that a control group sat on a new couch purchased with their own money and the process did not work nearly as well. It was concluded by the study’s authors that ideally it should be a highly used couch such as is often found in the basement of middle-class boomer’s houses. It is believed that the sense that the couch is of no value helps the occupant maintain a sense that no gratitude is owed to the owner of said couch. In fact a highly developed sense of entitlement, and being a victu b Furthermore, the greater the area of ass in contact with the material (often described as underwear) the more efficient is the osmosis-like process of knowledge gain. The study further concluded those study participants who manipulated control devices of video game obtained previously unattained of wisdom even exceeding those attained by TM Meditators of the 1970s onward.
In short the study confirms sitting your fat ass, on a used up couch in your Mommy’s basement, and playing video games qualifies you to dismiss ALL prior generations.

Aye
If you use mylar bags, leave them out of the bucket for a few days to make sure your seal is good. Sometimes you get a small leak and you can fix it before storing it. Also, rats can eat through plastic buckets so protect your buckets. One last thing, check your buckets occasionally, sometimes they can degrade and fracture.
Assume the Garbage pickup stops running as well. Be mindful that you may end up having to stock pile "evidence" of your stockpile via: Food packaging, cans, wrappers.
The desperate can turn dangerous and will quickly learn to look at your garbage to show indication "food is here".
I have never considered that thought. Thank you.
Excactly right👍👍👍👍👍
Good point. Note to self- load garbage cans with empty shotgun shell boxes.
Everywhere at Once
Exactly 👊
I always just considered the smell of cooking food wafting through the neighborhood. A good argument for having an indoor back up cooking method in case of a power outage as well.
Nice. Couple pointers I would suggest to your viewers is 1.) use smaller bags. You don’t want to have to open all 30 pounds of chickpeas and 60
Pounds of rice to get a balanced diet and be left with open bags and exposed food for months. Bag in smaller bags. 2.) label everything more than once. No way you or your grandchildren will know what’s in every bag in 20 years. Write it on the bag. 3.) mix bags of foods you need to eat together so if you must eat chickpeas and rice to be balanced then pack equal amounts of both in each bucket. That way should an emergency require you to run you can grab a bucket and go. 4) make your food as mobile as possible. If marauders threaten you after shtf or forest fire or your just moving house. Having smaller pails that all, even children can help carry matters . 5.) save freeze dried food till last and keep in in duffle bags or similar. It weighs the least so very mobile and is nutritious. If you must grab and run leave the rice and take the freeze dried food.
Aces High true! One of my biggest stresses is all the stored food and all the preps get burned up or flooded out or what have you. There are fires all over the prairies now and the East and West coasts have both had serious floods this year. How do you prepare for that other than your bug out bag?
Mrs. Lewis living in a three-story apartment building, I worry about that, too. For example, what if two days into SHTF, the neighbors tip over a candle, start a building fire, and with possibly no firefighters to put it out, I would lose all my preps. And that’s just ONE example of how someone could lose all their preps very quickly! I don’t enjoy thinking about it.😣
Aces High the thing is, when most of what you are eating is rice and beans, they will go a lot faster than they do while the grid is up. Add some people and you would be astonished honestly. Did a seven day trip/scenario with my group of 8 (including me) and we saw how fast it truly went when me mixed rice and beans with mountain house and then oats and freeze dried fruit. Granted, we didnt eat the bare minimum, we know about how much it would truly take.
Excellent points 👍
I always store my dried rice/beans/oats etc. in smaller packs. Yup, it takes a lot of bags but when we start eating it we will not be eating the same rice & beans daily. Variety is good but remember the old saying "Hunger is the best sauce."
Great video! I have been doing this for a while and would like to share my food storage tips with you. 1.Label your your bucket on the side and your bags with what’s in them and when they were packaged before you put the foodstuff in them. You need this info for management of your inventory. Use the food and rotate your supplies. First in = first out.2. Freeze rice, oats or anything that weevils could be in, for a week before storing, to kill them. 3. I like to write basic cooking instructions on the outside of the Mylar bag. You could print on an index card and put into your bucket, taped to the inside of the bucket lid. 4. Put the food into smaller bags. If you’re without food for a week and you are opening a 5 gallon Mylar bag you will have to purchase new oxygen scavengers and reseal it. Put a week’s worth in a bag and you haven’t impacted the quality of the rest of the food by exposing it to the environment. Think humidity, etc.6. Use the 5 gallon bucket idea for your 72 hour kits too. First aid and hygiene in one, flashlight and fire starting in another; clothesline and clothespins, laundry soap, kitchen supplies such as a pot and utensils in another. 7. 5 gallon buckets are wonderful to use because you can carry them to your vehicle if you have to evacuate in case of wildfire or flooding. They float and are rainproof. They are rodent resistant. You can use one to haul water and another as a toilet with a luggable loo seat and a toilet bag liner. You can add trash bags, sleeping bags etc to them!
Oxygen absorbers will kill the weevils
Thanks Nancy..... Excellent tips😃
Couldn't you just cook the weevils as added protein
I was about to start living off grid in a cabin thats how I started watching your channel. Its been growing on me and now I'm seriously thinking about prepping my cabin now thanks to you. Keep up the good work your channel is very helpful, to us fellow Canadians
With the soy sauce, do NOT keep it in the plastic jug! Pour it into gallon glass jugs and cap it and store it. The salt content is the preservative and yet it is also corrosive to plastic an absorbs all the nasties out of the plastic into your sauce.
Also, I go to a mennonite store and get rolled oats, 50 lb sack, for $23 usd. That comes to $.44/lb.
Yes, I agree glass is much better!! Speaking of that, a good way to store water is in canning jars. They take up just as much room empty as they do full.
@@bettycarrington6082 and if you are canning something and your canner is not going to be full, can water!!
@@leal536 its little gems like these that keep me coming back to prep videos even if the video info doesnt change.
I am elderly and cant afford to grocery shop. for 6 months now I have been living on my food storage which I began ten yrs ago. I still have about a year of food, not everything I want to eat but I wont go hungry. I am in ontario.
Sad that our government cannot pay the elderly a decent retirement plan, the government officials are raking in a fortune.
We never should have trusted the government with retirement plans to begin with. We are far too trusting.
Do you have any food banks or resources to help you with more food?
You already have what we haven't; experience.
ymimad49 welfare was made for people like you my man. For once something good would be done with tax dollars.
I found your channel yesterday and have watched about 8 videos. Just wanted to say thank you, I enjoy learning lots of life saving tips. 😊
Been listening for a long time.He knows what he is talking about. All you out there that enjoy this channel order from him. His standards and service ranks at the top. We can thank him and his family for the time sacrifices he makes to share this survival INFO. and knowledge!! May God Bless you!
Just a thought: you may want to break some of those stores into smaller mylar bags and put several in to the 5 gallon buckets. This way you don't have to open the entire contents to the elements or possible contamination and if you end up not needing to use all the stores, then they are good to go for the next event. Just my 2 cents (not that we have pennies in Canada anymore but...)
Wayward Woodworker great idea
Wayward Woodworker the thing is, when most of what you are eating is rice and beans, they will go a lot faster than they do while the grid is up. Add some people and you would be astonished honestly.

Wayward Woodworker do you know if the rice needs to be frizzed before packaging in order to kill bugs? I'm just starting to prep a bit more than can goods but I'm scared the rice will go bad or have bugs when I end up needing it.
Jessica Rivera it is a redundancy feature. Not completely needed. If you buy and then pack right away you will be fine. I've opened bags of rice from 10 years ago that I stored and didnt freeze first and it was fine
First of all, good for you for starting to get some stores in order. I have read several blog and forum posts about this matter. They all have a different answer of course; we all come at this preparedness thing from a different background and experience. Freezing your rice and/or beans for 24-48 hours prior to bagging them is not a bad idea. I have opened bags of rice that were only days old from the store (so supposedly fresh) and found bugs in it, so a little precaution can potentially go a long way in my opinion. It's not any real work for this step, so why not. That's the other plus to storing in multiple bags, if the is any contamination in one bag, it doesn't necessarily mean it will end up in all the bags. And you don't have to try and wrestle a 50lb bag of anything into your freezer, although I have had a few turkeys that may have rivaled a bag of rice!! haha (don't seal them before freezing, save that part until after). I hope that is of some help. Cheers.
Don't forget to date and label the buckets with their contents. Also, consider cutting the label and/or preparation instructions off of the original packaging and putting it in the bucket.
EBuff75 As a chemist I can tell you that we had massive problems with labels falling off, or the ink fading or blurring. This is really dangerous and in one case caused a small fire...

Look up "Chia Seeds"! Loaded with Protein, Fiber, and they have a very long shelf life!
I like them better than flax, but that's just me
I like chia seeds, too
Look up TVP 😊
True, but boy do they make you fart if you eat too many at once.
chia have the most omega 3 of anything I know of. Twice the amount of flax, and flax has so much more than most everything else.

I didn't see you label the bags but I guess (hope) you did. Does a marker work/last on the bags or do you tag them?
From one tiny tomato seed you can grow numerous plants by taking cuttings and rooting more.Multiply and be fruitful😁.

@@girlinthesouth850 You plant cans? What do you get?
Thanks CP! I followed your directions and now have a huge sense of food security! I bought 40 days of food for $25!
Good ideas. I’ve been taught to eat what you store and store what you eat. Make sure you have a way of using your stored food in every day meals so your GI tract is familiar with these foods. Some people buy lots of hard wheat or oats but have no means to grind them or have recipes for them. Thanks for sharing this. I’m a frequent viewer of your vids. 👍😄
during a full SHTF scenario, heat is high value. Beans soaked overnight (12) hours, cooks 6 minutes ia a pressure cooker. Rice also cooks in 6 minutes.
TY great suggestion I have a small pressure cooker. :)
This video is an EXCELLENT example for one of the first steps for disaster preparedness. Water first, imo. Great stuff CP!
This is by far the most useful video I've ever seen in my whole life.

lentils would be another really good item to stock pile, they are a nutritional powerhouse. a cooking fat/oil would be a good to add.
Yup. Not a lot of fat in rice and beans.

That's a perfectly good option too, way better for your health than the classic "ramen and coffee" student diet. I used to keep a similar stock of food in case of job loss now I have it in case my business goes under. Definite lifesaver.
lol Do it!
Anyone doing this diet is going to feel like shit long term without other nutrition taken into consideration. It's pure carbs. In a long term situation, you would use this to cover you until you had growing vegi's or other renewable food source. If you're doing this for college, I am skeptical you could remain in a healthy mental state for 2-4+ years. There are a host of other ways to eat cheap in college. Do a little research on cooking/ meal prep and you can live a hell of a lot better than this for not that much more.
Gray Au except a diabetics blood sugar levels would send them into a diabetic coma and they would die. Our “ancestors” didn’t live very long lives. Probably due to being diabetic. The complications that ensue is what killed them I’m sure.
You would just be setting yourself up for diabetes. (with heart, kidney and eyesight failure to follow because of it, oh and amputations, fun huh?) It isn’t that expensive for a single person to eat right. We just like our junk foods, carbs included.
The only thing I would have problems with is storage space. I live in a small apartment in a large city. But I already have survival supplies for me to last about 6 months. Am still building my food supplies.
Well I have some space for storing my problem is the temperature Hass to be between 50 and 70° and my house generally where I live runs about 78° normally so I don’t know if that is bad for long food storage because of the recommended 50 to 70° that’s another problem besides space to store at all
:(
@@evlainzizme4831 I have the same issue with space. I do have some space in my basement it is cool but damp.

Store stuff in the roof space, under your bed. In vertical spaces...
It’s so refreshing to have such an intelligent and informed prepper.
I would ad to the list some instant mashed potatoes and those big bags of brown gravy mix you get at Costco. Nothing like a good helping of mashed potatoes and gravy!! It is a comfort food!

Are the truck drivers on strike?
Yes, they are which means no distribution of anything.
Effed up! WTF is wrong down yonder?!?
I hope you have more preps than just guns. Stay safe and hope you country returns to normal. Hey you guys make that corn beef, if I recall correctly, hope you have a good stock pile.
Many more problems and Brazil will be eating street dogs like Venezuela. If I were you I would look to getting out to a more stable country before you get fully sealed in by border control to starve like Venezuelans.
i have been following you for years. Glad to see you getting back to basics
As for the shelf life of honey. The key to keeping honey is DO NOT put water in it. The low percentage of water in honey is why it won't ferment. Some people worry about crystalized honey and think it went bad. It didn't go bad, it just went back to a crystalized state. Different honey's will crystalize at different rates depending on the percentages of different sugars present. Eat it crystalized or put the jar in a container of warm water and it will eventually re-liquify.
I've got hundreds of pounds of this stuff. This year is the first year I'm actually keeping my harvest and not selling it off.
I've also got a hundred pounds or so of beeswax. Important for light, or lighting fires when the wood is wet. I've made little fire starters from it. Works great for the wood burner or open fire outside.
Beeswax has a lot of uses other than just candles.

Use a Sharpie to write the contents and packaging date on every bag and every bucket. Write on the bags before you fill them, it's much easier. I don't store anything in quantities larger than one gallon. Bags are cheap, use lots of them now while it's easy! When you have to open your rice do you really want five gallons of it? And can you keep it clean/safe for the amount of time it will take you to eat all of it, in a situation where hygiene is likely to be far from ideal?
Mister510 the thing is, when most of what you are eating is rice and beans, they will go a lot faster than they do while the grid is up. Add some people and you would be astonished honestly. Did a seven day trip/scenario with my group of 8 (including me) and we saw how fast it truly went when me mixed rice and beans with mountain house and then oats and freeze dried fruit. Granted, we didnt eat the bare minimum, we know about how much it would truly take.
I’ve been over complicating this for awhile. Thanks for setting me straight! I didn’t know about chickpeas and rice and the complete protein thing.
Ok, but seen my comment?
My grandma saved war ration honey from the forties. When she passed away, me and my cousin found it. It was black and tasted like molasses. It was so good.
Rip to your lovely grandma. She saw n lived through what we cant fathom n hope to avoid. Glad todings to you and yours assalamu alaykum peace be unto you.
Try mixing the corned beef with instant mashed potato, formed into a cake, and fried!
SuperFlatrock sounds excellent!
Frank's Hot Sauce. l put that shit on anything.
That sounds so good.
Cindy KQ and others - The ratio is about 1.5 parts potato to one part corned beef. Use instant mashed potato or regular boiled potato. The ingredients should be cold when mixed. You can add onion flakes and garlic powder to the mix before frying The basic recipe originated during WWI when British troops wanted to liven up their steady diet of "bully beef."
Mike Baker - Great point. Frank's Hot Sauce is a prepper must have! I put it on everything. Love that stuff!
Thank you for this informative video. I like how these buckets can be customized according to our needs. I'll be including a couple rolls of toilet paper in mine so they're truly bug-out ready :) Heck, I might even get adventurous and toss a "surprise" into every bucket, like a deck of cards, or a word search and pencil or perhaps a paperback novel!
You mentioned how good stuff will taste after SHTF; I can attest to that: during The Gulf War ('90-'91), after weeks of MRE t-rations, of all things, the MRE plain bread tasted like sugar!
Before when we were so poor we couldn't afford food because the next pay is still next week, we ate rice, soy sauce, and a little bit of oil on it up until the payday. Now I am constantly preparing for our prepper pantry. We've come a long way!
Just great. I’ve been wanting to start prepping, but the many different foods, costs, etc was driving me crazy. This is simple, clear and easy. Anyone wanting to begin prepping should consider this step 1.
You should always wear plastic gloves when handeling food for so long term storage.
Would also be smart to close the mylar bag 90% first, and then insert the O2-absorberrs.
Store the leftover O2-absorbers in a clean, airtight glass jar. Preferably with a paten-lock (not mason) for easy access.
The best video I’ve seen on a pantry and what to store. Also the storing in Mylar bags. I have done that with rice and beans. Crackers in jars. I need to get back to it and do some more. Thanks for a great video. Bye from Oregon
Bro those buckets with rona on the are hilarious!! wow creepy.
you should label those buckets with poison markings or biohazard in case someone wants to steal the stuff ha ha.
Human waste, eventually
Victoria chill body parts inside. Of the last person who tried to take my stash lol.
I would label it human waste and then smear my poop all over the bucket. Well, that's kind of nasty. I'll smear my dog poop all over it. I don't know about that. I'll just smear mud on it and call it a day
Chico from Phoenix LOL that’s funny. But seriously mud is an idea. People go for new on the shelf. Old on the shelf or food that looks like it’s no good, like I know prepers are all into dates and how good the food is going to be 10 years down the road so they date them. I know if I false dated them it would drive me crazy. But false dating would deter as well as older looking packaging. Or fake bugs. Hahaha.
@@blairbushproject oh shit, I thought it was the weed talking.. but we are on to something.. great idea we just both came up with
Should add old Bay and free ketchup packets and any other stuff free wet wipes from McDonald's etc in the empty space in the bucket even napkins
Love that I am watching this in 2021 because of everything going on and the names on the Bucket you are using is Rona. Lol. Fitting.
Label contents and date packaged on the buckets. Every bucket & mylar bag looks the same when everything is packaged up. Make sure the label is somewhere you can read it when it's all stacked up so you don't have to pull everything out to find the bucket you want. Also consider storing bulk items like the beef stock powder in smaller packages rather than one big one. Think about whether it is going to last long after you open the package (shelf life) and how quickly it will be used. If used less quickly and less shelf life then perhaps use smaller packages.
08:00 They have found honey in Viking graves and Egyptian tombs that still was edible!
As a high calorie sweetener, honey works really good and stores very well. Also can be used as an antiseptic.
Put the raw unpasteurized honey on cuts/abrasions. UNpasteurized ONLY.
I always remember in 'Empire of the Sun' how the little boy changed his palate, at first he recoiled from bad-smelling food in his parents' house, later he absolutely scoffed it down.

I want to debunk the myth that bad food tastes great when you're starving. It still tastes like shit, but you will eat it anyway because you're hungry af
Source: Trust me bro
That's why you have hot sauce. That way it will be hot shit. ;)
Dad did that with the dog. He didn't want another one, but sis brought one home anyway. He bought the cheapest stuff he could find. The dog wouldn't eat it. Dad said give him time. After a couple of days the dog was eating again.
@@beebob1279 The problem with the cheap stuff is that you'll pay at the other end in vet costs and increased food consumption. Especially for cats.
Don't forget about the new dehydrated water. It lasts forever !

@@delso-wk9sq maybe you need a nap?
Just a comment on the oats, only difference between old fashioned oats and quick oats is the size and cooking times, if you want to convert your large flakes to quick oats before packaging, just run them through a food processor. Large flake oats take less water than quick oats to cook, since quick oats have more surface area and absorb more water during cooking. On the plus side, quick oats, as the name implies, take less time to cook. Instant oatmeal is just reduced to smaller pieces than both large flakes and quick oats, cooks faster, but in my opinion, when cooked they are more like paste in texture. I just buy the large flakes, if I need to cook quicker, or if anyone, kids in particular are picky, wants a difference texture to their oatmeal, I just get the food processor out and fix that issue. If I bought just quick oats, I can't make them larger for cookies, or my preferred thick, large flake oatmeal breakfast. Great video by the way.
Or oat flour for bread
thanks for the info i had no idea you could do that.
Soak large flake oats for faster cooking time rather than grinding down in size.
You can also soak the regular oats over night or several hours and they are very good with milk(powdered)
CP is looking much fitter & leaner in his 2020 videos. He clearly practices what he preaches! ❤️
If anyone was wondering 2000 calories a day equals 14000 per week -- 56000 per month -- 730000 per year. Food for thought.
As long as you have enough water, you can ration your calories to 1500 and life quite a while.
S PACE most people will end up spending 3500 to 7,000 calories a day in a survival situation. There will be lots of work to do that you don’t think about now.
MsClarinut that depends in your physical conditioning and how much body fat you have. One pound = 3,500 calories. The average person will burn 3,500 to 7,000 calories a day.
Laundry will be done by hand, firewood must be resourced and processed, hunting or fishing and gathering.
God! I’m running out of room for storage of all my food water , medical supplies, and barter goods. Starting to look like a company store! 😂
A popular preppier claimed that many canned foods can last long past the expiration date stamp ~ 🙏🏼 Most grateful if you could clarify. Thank you for all you’ve done & continue to do. 👍🏼🙂
As long as the can is sound the food should be safe if stored at normal temperatures, acidic foods tend to degrade cans, however. Nutritional value beyond raw protein, fiber and carbs will degrade though.
It's best to rotate canned foods.
Fantastic ideas! Thank you. May I just add that it would be good to label the bags and plastic buckets (list contents and packing date).
I love the title" Lasts 25 years" and in the video says "I have no idea how long this will last" lol. Really?????
At least 25 years. The actual shelf life is unknown, this method of packing food in Mylar bags has only been popular for about 30 years with most samples from the early 90,s being opened up and in most cases they are still good
...Has no idea how long it will last *in addition to* the minimum 25 year shelf life.
Mylar bags extend shelf life😉
The other thing as a prepper. It may be a good thing to build a seed bank.

I love corned beef hash!
Guess I'll stock up.
Regarding dried beans, particularly if you want to save on cooking fuel. I live at 7000 feet. I can cook bean for 3 hours and they won't be done. I picked up a pressure cooker cheap and that cuts the cooking time tremendously - would at lower elevations as well.
This video more relevant now than when you made it. My anxiety is telling me something big n bad is coming quicker than any of us are prepared for. Everyone prep up for what your soul needs too 🙏
I used the stimulus money and bought a medium harvest right freeze dryer! Just received it, and will have it set up and do burn in by this weekend! First batch will be raw eggs that I will powder. Can't wait!!!!
Great plan....
Rice with salt and oats with sugar sounds like a luxury to me right now and I'm not even in a SHTF situation.
This is the video that got me to start prepping. Thanks CP!
keep in mind, rice and especially beans and lentils need ALOT OF PREP in the form of water, time, space, weight, and fuel to cook/ store, transport.
buy at least some of what you eat everyday.
I already prepped yrs ago buying stuff i eat everyday like over a dozen whey protein powder when on sale , at least 6 each of peanut butter, coco oil, ghee, honey, ground and instant coffee
all of which are very healthy for you, need way less prep , tradeable , very calorie dense, and last at least a few years.
as luck would have it the western cdn economy is in slow motion crash and i needed all those preps being laid off for 8 to 9 months a yr for last several yrs and is getting close to being used up.
I hope things are better for you and thanks for the suggestions.
not if you sprout them, easy
@@michaeldbhawker3556 how?
@@KG-ck9hb YT sprouting seeds and beans, it exponentially increases their nutrient value.. Tons of videos to learn
lentils, not too much. But I was thinking as I was making rice this week, don't think I'm going to be able to prepare it as I usually do....rinsing off a minimum of three times, before putting in the water to cook it. Guess we'll have to have gummy rice, yuck. Unless somehow water is not a problem when SHTF.
didn't see him label the buckets, "what's the 3rd one on the left??" LOL
Very good. Buying honey, maple syrup and oats in bulk when you live in the bush saves you a lot of money too.
I never thought to use a hair tool to seal the bags! Great tip! :)
One of my favorite vids yet! You basicly showed my long term storage. I also have vacume packed gobs of dried pasta. I buy 50 lb bags of rock salt. Every bean in the world for variety. I agree with you, basmati rice is far and away our favorite. Huge difference. After eating a 12 year old pop tart at a prepper buddy's house, I cannot tell you how many of those I have vac packed up. Same with Oreos. They wer'nt crunchy hard anymore, but by gosh, it was an oreo, and tasted good. Have tubs of spices stored, not sure how they will do, so we always have a garlic patch, and I grow a "spicy oregano" in a flower pot that is so hot it will burn the hair off your tongue. I love it. You are definitely right about having some mountain house, there will be days when the raccoon snares are empty and there's nothing on the trout lines. Hope you are doing ok bro. Still in my prayers.
Why are you buying rock salt instead of the regular, already ground salt?
Sandy Karlin 5
Sandy Karlin 5 lbs of table salt is about 5 dollars. 50 lbs of rock salt (solar salt, ice melter) is the same 5 dollars. I have 300 lbs of rock salt that I can crush or grind as I need it for 30 dollars . Salt is a great meat preseritive. And it will be great for trade. Nice talking with you.
Charles Croley it is hard to figure, but you are right. Hard candy, pop tarts and Oreos are gonna make me a rich man, lol
How do you seal the pop tarts and cookies? In Mylar with oxygen absorbers?
I would add powder full fat milk as well, Great for creamed rice and porridge and hot drinks. In a famine situation fats can be hard to find and store, so milk offers a solution. Also able to make cheese and yogurt from the powder milk, but you get a lot whey byproduct from the cheese. So that can be used for pickling foraged vegetables or eggs. I know you were trying to stick to a strict budget, but I thought I could add. Awesome channel 👍🏼
Love your channel always reliable information.I wish you had where you purchased your food supplies.
Thanks for the ideas. Always good videos and a lot of information. Much appreciated

Don't forget tobasco sauce! No refrigerator needed. Great addition to the bug out bag as it contains much needed salts and last a long time without refrigeration.
I keep a dozen bottles of Melinda's XXXX habanero pepper sauce. It's what Tabasco sauce wants to be when it grows up. :-)
To your point, I completely agree that we should consider seasonings to make stored food more palatable. I'm also fond of Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning on Amazon in seven pound jugs (B005EDHXK8).
Packaging up mini bags of Keg seasoning. This guy is a legit Canadian prepper. Now if only Molson sold freeze dried beer...

But they smell so so strong of pickels
@@TruthisFacts Won't matter if you are sealing in mylar bags, but a negative if just pouring food into the bucket.
I would add ziplock bags to each mylar bag. Once you open such a large bag how will you keep the humidity out? Personally, I store my rice in 250gr/1 Cup bags. This is two meals for one person or one meal for two people. I put the small bags into larger bags then into a hard plastic container and then into a metal garbage can which I seal with tape. Any bugs found upon opening will have been there before sealing.
Good tip! But as they're already sealed, I'm just going to throw a bunch of ziplock bags in each of my buckets now. Thanks.
Welcome!
I got a squirrel issue, metal cans is a great solution. They chew through the plastic. Thanks.
Yeah, I have a rodent problem, metal is the way to go.
Sola Mano if you put them in the freezer before storage it will kill any bugs..
Really good info, the only thing I noticed is you didn't label your buckets or bags.
I would suggest copying the label and attaching it to the bucket or bag so you will know whats inside plus how to use it and how much to use.
Thanks for the great video, I love the corn beef, you can add curry powder, potatoes and rice or tin tomato, onion and spaghetti.
