You just do what you gotta do and keep yourself self safe.God bless you and take care of yourself

I think you should still use Mylar bags even if you want to store food even for less than 10 years. Most food at the store doesnt last for more than 1-2 years now a days so just make smaller batches for your food u will use agter a year and then make 30 pounds for later and put in a bucket. I have buckets with 30 pounds but they are still in small bags so i dont expose more than what i will need. I like to use one gallon and one quart bags bc i dont need to use a 5 gallon bag for flour… im never going to be using 5 gallons of rice or flour or anything at one time. Best to just use many small bags as soon as u buy things for storage… my opinion….it will be worth it in the long run.

"Do not use" "Tools you'll need" 😮🤔

Yes

You doing okay?

I Love the Gossner shelf stable milk, I was so bummed when i could no longer find it at our local dollar tree 🥺🫤

Hope you and your son are ok. Would really love it if you were able to post more videos. Very informative and encouraging!

Shame on you for the clickbait title. Some newbies may see that and investigate no further, thinking that Mylar is bad. They are in a hurry after all, having just woken up.

Can you do this for dry cereal?

I disagree. Mylar bags are definitely NOT a waste of time & money, even if you're just getting started. Some foods lose texture, flavor & nutritional value in a short amount of time. And not all maylar bags are pricey. I get 100 high quality 10 mm bags for $27 (50 gallon/50 quart size w/ O2 absorbers). And if you get a subscription, you can save even more. Wallaby is a good brand but very high priced. Just make sure the bags you get are at least 7mm & bpa free/food grade & most come with Oxygen absorbers. It's also worth it to get an inexpensive vacuum sealer. You can find them on sale for under $50. This us your family's food security. It's worth it to go the extra mile to ensure all your hard work, time, money, energy, (& food) isn't wasted.

2024 and storm Helene is about to come through Georgia so I’m looking for ways to cook in case of a power outage. Thanks for this.

Just get a $15 vacuum sealer off temu and skip the o2 absorbers.

I do blessing bags !but I call them Random act of kindnesses with now my great grandchildren ! Iam 71 and my family had very hard times some nights we didn't even have food to and there was no help out there and my parents worked 2 jobs some time 3 !Just to keep use feed !and iam so grateful to my folks for working hard to keep us together!God bless all of you guys for showing kindness, p.s where did you get the back pack hugs to all

I am 65 and I frequently pray that someone has to throw all this stuff out after I'm gone and all the while they are going on about all my wasted time and money. But as we sit here in 2024 awaiting a potentially nasty election I keep freeze drying and packing it away.

Thank you!

Clean and fill 2 ltr soda bottles with water and treat with 8 drops of bleach. Store under all your sinks for cleaning and flushing emergencies. Also, old school, put bay leaves in the bottom of your 5 gal storage buckets of dry goods. They do keep the bugs away!

I heard coconut oil was better for longer storage purposes…for taste as well. 👍 thanks for sharing 🥰

I just bought 100 pounds of rice from Walmart. And yes, the urgency feelings is making me at unease.

Is it safe to keep those fuel canisters packed away like that?

I would never wipe off the crumbs with a wet towel. I use a dry paper towel and it works great. Also, I fill all my bags and then open the OA's so they will not be absorbing oxygen while I work.

I had forgotten to be rounding off my corners. thanks.

Why do you use Bay leaves

Great video for the new Prepper as myself. Thank you!

That day will be here before we know it

Thank you for some (rare) honest advice. I'm not new to prepping but my spouse refuses to accept the possiblilty of bad news from 11/05/24

Thank you for sharing!! Lots of good information.

I love this.... I will be camping during two upcoming Music Festivals and I want real food not just dehydrated backpacking snacks for 4 days..... * Festival food can be expensive*

I sure miss you here on youtube

Where are you?

I AM new to Mylar bags, not prepping but I wondered if you can help me. I got a bag of wallaby Mylar bags, 300cc O2 absorbers filled my bags, put in the absorbers, zipped them closed & heat sealed them. They are 1 quart bags so 300cc should be plenty?? After 2 days my bags are ALL still soft. I understand that nitrogen isn’t removed, but if the bag is still soft, how can I KNOW my foods are safe???!!!😳😳i didnt open my absorbers until all bags were ready , popped them in quickly zipped them closed & heat sealed. I’m kinda upset because I spent my money on them and haven’t gotten the results I thought they would produce!!!😢

Hey girlie!! if there was a time we sure need you now! I pray all is well. How are you? I hope u will be coming back.

I think you could put a packet of seasoning, ex: joya, in with the beans.

Rounding corners is a great tip.

Why not use a vacuum sealer such as a food saver? It seals with heat too. I know you can’t seal powders (flour for instance) with a vacuum sealer, but what about vegetables, beans and rice? And yes, a real sense of urgency. I have 105 #10 cans of freeze dried food and will soon be buying more.

"Not your job to worry about people scamming you" when others can need it. Meanwhile i bought over 100.00 worth for a homeless person a food at the Dollar tree because she was holding up a sign saying that she needed it for her family she took money from somebody else and then she left and did not come back. I specifically talked to her and she said she just needed anything. And so my money went to waste. I'm not going to waste my money on people who are just going to waste my time. The fact you said that made me not even want to watch you anymore

Mine don't have an indicator

Missing you Sunshine and all your good info. Hoping things are well with you..God bless. ❤

I got my candles and my 3ds ready

Lol, in grid-down ha you will need salt!

Love love your plate idea! I too keep different paper plates! Not every meal needs big heavy duty ones! Waste, keep all sizes of “ziplock baggies” keep waste in mind.

Mice will chew through the shelf stable milk.

You can also use glass jars. Put oxygen absorbers in bottom of jar then fill up. Dont use oxygen absorbers for sugar and salt, as it makes them hard.

Set your bag in a deep bowl or pan.Hope that helps

❤️‍🔥✝️❤️‍🔥🙏❤️‍🔥😇❤️‍🔥

Hermosa!!!

Hey there, sunshine. We havnt heard from ya in a while. I hope all is well. We miss you and would love to see your return..🙂

Can you use food saver to seal? Just wondering. Please let me know. Very Informative.

This is really wonderful to show those just starting out or those who don't have a lot of money to not be discouraged or think they need expensive gear
