  • Welcome to my channel y'all! If you’re new here thanks for stopping by! If you’ve been here before, thank you for returning. Today’s video is my Prepper Pantry Tour. I’m pretty new to prepping since I just started my prepping journey in August 2020. Prepping, in my opinion, should not be overwhelming. Do what your able to do financially, even if takes you awhile. Don't ever feel like you have to run out and buy everything at once. Keep in mind that it's better to have a little extra then to have no extra. If you enjoy this kind of content, please make sure to give this video a thumbs up. I would also love for you to take a second to subscribe to my channel. Also, make sure to hit the notification bell so that you can be notified each time I upload. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video.

      Hello! I watched your video and so glad you prepare. I’m not going through all the comments to see if your question on here was answered. I’m referring to your Mylar bags and Oxygen Absorbers. You can use the Mylar bags for things like cereal however they still don’t last as long as something that had been dried (example beans or oats) and DO NOT use the oxygen absorbers for any type of food that already has moisture in them(example, brown rice, cereal, granola, jerky) it can create a toxic poison in your food. You’re doing great and just wanted to answer your question and I apologize is someone else already has.

      If SHTF, people would just loot grocery stores and nearby houses. They're not going to hop on CZcams and watch random pantry tour videos to see if they can find anyone who lives within 15 states of them, so they can drive fir 400 hours to steal a lifetime supply of pickles.

    We have to feed our families. It's not like we can feed them beef Wellington during a pandemic and depression. We have to get what we can store. When it gets bad, those saying something about our choices of foods may wish they had canned foods. Sorry, but I see comments like that too and it upsets me. You're doing great sweetheart! Keep doing what you're doing! So proud of you. My daughter certainly doesn't worry about feeding hers. I do though and that's why I do it. I have to be their mom. And it beats starving and better to have something else to keep from eating rice daily.

      If you store yeast anywhere from 32-68 degrees it will be fine. Been making wine and bread for years and never keep it in the fridge or freezer anymore. Also, they have found bottles of beer in the Baltic Sea from the early 1800s; the yeast inside was still viable and a university isolated it and now makes beer from that 200 year old yeast strain.

      The three things that mainly spoil food are oxygen, moisture and light. This is why most people recommend Mylar bags and a cool, dark and dry place to store long term items. This is one of the better pantries I have seen but the work required is immense. Most of these items have about a 2 year shelf life before they spoil when stored in the original packaging and some items that contain baking powder such as the pre-mix pancake and baking items spoil in about a year. Lots of rotating stock to keep it fresh but heck when it’s a survival situation you gonna eat what you can get.

    AWSOME!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾. Just a thought. Because I’m a diabetic I am always thinking about food substitutes that may replace common high carbohydrate saturated foods. I diversify my food pantry with some “more healthy alternative “foods along with foods that may be typically high in sugar and carbs etc. My thought is during a time that my family may HAVE to rely on the stored foods alone to live off of, I wouldn’t want anyone else in my family to develop diabetes due to being forced to rely on high carb foods. The last thing anyone wants to do during a grid down SHTF situation is to develop prediabetes or diabetes. I say this out of concern because CLEARLY you love your family because you are taking steps to prepare for them. Just saying there are tons of alternatives versions of a lot of the foods that we all store. Very tasty and not void of flavor at all. I promise. Maybe just a “lite” version. Good luck and thanks for sharing! AWSOME!!!!🏆👍🏾

      Yasmine, start within your budget. I have 3 pantries; a working pantry that I use daily, a short term pantry with 6 months of food storage, and a long term pantry that only has rice, a variety of beans and pasta, some store bought canned meat and some 10 year shelf life items from Auguston Farms, and a few soups and veggies I canned myself. I continue to add to my short term pantry as I can because for my family, 6 months of food is not enough. I only want to go to my long term pantry if necessary. I said all that to say, you can begin a short term pantry by picking up items within your budget ( items you use everyday, canned goods with a 1 to 3 year shelf life, and other items you use stored in airtight containers). I have dry goods (oats, flour, sugar, etc. in a closet I converted into a pantry in airtight containers, along with canned goods (chicken, tuna, a variety of beans, condiments, applesauce, etc). It's only me and my son but I buy a little extra should my daughters need something. I also have a deep freezer I keep full. Always had a working/short term pantry and deep freezer as this was normal when I was growing up. Only starting prepping (2018 ) the long term pantry as I've kept abreast of things happening globally. Just start a little at a time if you haven't already. Get your children involved. It's life's lessons they can carry into the future. Much luck to you😉

    I’ve always kept tons of hygiene/ cleaning items, canned goods, & water & weapons.
    When covid hit I didn’t need mask, Lysol, or sanitizer.
    Last year made me really get into the food prep. I don’t have nearly as much as u but u def gave me more inspiration to get more.

And get some school stuff downloaded for your children also put a game/ coloring art box together for them cause if stuff goes down we have to try to help their days go bye too and don't forget about packing stuff for your fur babies 💕 They all are going to have a hard time too so I'm trying to think of all things but I guess we aren't ever really ready. Oh btw washing and drying 2liter bottles is great for beans and noodles. If your storage room got wet that stuff will be safe in them bottles just make sure they dry out for a few days plus it's super cheap -free to store . I made cuts labels for them and put a piece of plastic over the top then screwed the cap on . Ok I'm done bugging now 😘

Wood book shelves line up with food or cleaning, batteries etc. I put a pretty curtain with the small spring curtain rod to cover bookshelves. Got rid of pots and plastic bowls I don't use. Walmart flat bins stacked in kitchen cabinets. And of course closets and emptied clothes from some drawers. Also if patio/balcony only.

Also, too much herbicides being used (glyphosate/RoundUp). I've had Nubian dairy goats for years and their fresh milk is nothing like store-bought white-liquid. Heck, here in the US, juices extracted from nuts are also called "milk" so that should tell you how messed up our commercial food system really is.

      Cliff has a System for organizing EVRYTHING Prepping, using categories and color-codes, etc.
      He calls his system, "The Colors Of Prepping." (Caps intended.)
      He makes check-lists and spreadsheets and all that. Furthermore, he has links for files for all of his projects. Every spreadsheet, every check-list, he has PDF files in the Description of each video.
      He talks about garage storage, bugout bags, tents/shelters, pantry organization, gray-man clothing... ALL kinds of urban prepping needs. (And the click-baitey titles are few and far between.)

    Can't go wrong with learning how to make your own homemade soup! I love to make a huge pot and freeze leftovers in small containers for soup when ever we want for down the road. I love your prepper pantry. You have so much good preps! 😍 I am curious as to what you use the aloe vera gel for though? I know there is many uses for it but curious to how you use it.
    For your mylar bags that can be completely normal because the oxygen absorbers only absorb oxygen not the air. So maybe for some you squeezed out more of the air then some other bags. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you know your oxygen absorbers were still good when you threw them in there (soft, not crunchy) and as long as you used the right amount.

    Love your prep!
    I dig the covers too on the shelves.
    Milk, Good job! For a good shelf stable milk alternative. If you are not allergic to nuts,
    Shelf stable coconut, almond or my favorite Macadamia Nut milk. Costco has most of those in bulk.
    Oat milk or Pea Milk (sounds gross but not)
    Grocery Outlet is a Great place for quality at a Deal/Steal too.

      The dry milk is ok. But, you can add some to the shelf stable for a little extra protein. You can also add in if you make yogurt. It works great in pancake mix or any baking mix.

    You are so right, we should have been doing this from the beginning but it's never too late though. I will be starting me one. Thanks!
