The concept of The Rule of 3s is new to me. Gives me a new framework to base my planning on

Emergency toilet options is a good idea to consider

I definitely need to work on increasing my water storage.

Interesting price comparison on the Mac and cheese. Just this week I learned a new way to prepare those boxes with the powdered cheese without the use of milk or butter. I gave it a try and it worked. Add noodles to saucepan and add enough water to just barely cover noodles. Stir in dry cheese packet. Bring to a simmer, cook until noodles are done. Stir often. Add more water as simmering if needed.

Water is so important. Some people don't relize how much so, until they dont have it. Others know its white gold

Love collaboration good way the meet each other

Buckets are good for sooo much

Hi Daniel happy to be your new friend and sub

been trying to get a berky for a while....always out of stock :(

A great summary about water storage and filtration options, with several I was not familiar with, so, good job. Thanks for participating.

I mark expiration dates on top of cans on a white stick on tape to show up very clear for rotation.

Never heard of toilet paper tablets! Good ideas!

We have a berky plus we are setting up a rain collecting system too. Thanks for the video!

Hey Daniel Shiner should never be ‘light’ - just sayin’ lol We use a lot of townhouse crackers. I’ve noticed the cost of those have DOUBLED just since last year. I just bought a case to put in jars. I look forward to your pick of the week. I have found Saltine crackers seem to go stale faster so we’ve gotten to where we don’t even buy them anymore. I do recommend getting them out of the packaging and into something else because they seem to absorb the ‘plastic’ taste quickly. Be safe Be prepared Be Blessed

Just starting my prepping journey

Great video. I'm starting my bucket today.

Hey could this power a light tv a fan and a ps5 for a little while?

This reminded me I need more Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers! Thanks

We use our Berkey and Waterdrop everyday.

Great ideas. Good stuff to have.

::: drools at the stock pile ::

Everyone should have a long term pahtry and a working pantry, imo.

I have a Berkeley . But replacment filters are pricey. There are knock offs but I don’t know much about them . Thanks for your video. I have been canning water when my canner isn’t full . Thanks

Good info regarding 3 levels of food storage. Nice to see the mylar bag / storage process. Thanks.

Much love you're awesome

Good morning, Daniel Great information. I wish you’d talked more about the length of storage in the store bought water. I’ve heard conflicting info about the seepage from the plastic. I’m considering purchasing a Brita type system with filters. Our house line has a filtration system but that isn’t going to work if we lose power. I keep 3 water cubes on hand for boiling to cook & wash dishes. I could boil and use for drinking as well if need be. I also keep jugs cat litter comes in for flushing & boiling for hand baths. You can set them out in the sun to warm. Perfect temperature for quick baths and hair washing. I’m in South East MO about 2 hours west of the boot heel. Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed

Got my done. Rice flour salt beans milk powder in sealed mylar bags in sealed containers with lid. Hope it stays good. We are only 3. But we are prepared. Water unfortunely is our problem.

Great information! Thank you for going over so many different options.

I like that you kept the cheese separate from the noodles in case something happens with the cheese!

Loved this video and someone sharing how they handle those Mylar bags!!! 😊🙌❤️

Thank you for another great video! Love the idea of breaking down the macaroni and cheese boxes and storing it in Mylar/ cheese packets separately.Didn’t think to do that!

Hi. Great information. I'm so not prepared like you are! Sure do appreciate all the advice! Thank you

Rule of 3’s is something hadn’t heard before, but it sure makes sense. Thank you for discussing, explaining and offering ways to cope with situations we may encounter. This was very informative. Thank you, Daniel.

Hi Daniel. Correct me if I’m not seeing correctly but to your right, do you have boxes of filled jars stacked on top of one another? I was always taught not to stack your boxes of jars. Your info appreciated. I’ve spent the morning dry-packing pasta. Have more to go. With hubby officially retiring Christmas Day, I’ve been planning for almost 2 years for the massive cut to our income. I bought a #25 bag of almond flour. I mix up our breakfast keto cookies in wide mouth jars for at least a year’s supply. Prices over all are only going to continue to rise. Any one who says the average income family can’t do this, really need to watch the videos in this series. I’m booting my channel at some point this month. Thanks for sharing yours and being a part of #30daysofpreparedness2024. Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed.

I really wanted to see you try to eat the hardtack…!

I use a separate Mylar bag for the cheese packets. Similar to your reasoning…don’t spoil the noodles, but redundancy on the cheese packet sealing

I'm living in the UK, and i agree wholeheartedly that water is important. We recently were contacted about unsafe drinking water so we now only drink bottled water and boiling water for hot drinks. No one wants to be sick from drinking contaminated water. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊

I think it is very important to have a good pantry. The long term is a bonus pantry, easy to build over time doing a budget for it. Thank you for your wisdom.😊

have to have water

Thank you, thank you for mentioning to stick to Ball and other safe canning recipes and warning to stay away from rebel canning. Way too much horrible canning advice online, esp for new canners.

Great video. I definitely need to work on some emergency medical knowledge. Minor stuff is easy, but someone bleeding all id know is apply pressure.

You had me at the toliet seat. I love it! We just had a family get together and played games one prize was an emergency tote .I absolutely love the bucket idea . Its awesome to give to your kid's. I appreciate it

Hi. Just found you tonight. We're in Virginia. Definitely a great video, I wasn't aware there were that many options. Thanks for all the information, I'll look for the book. I appreciate it.

I just stumbled onto this today. Impressive pantry. I love the mylar and bucket storage for long term and we do use a hair straightener on high setting and it works great. People dont realize how important a pantry is until a emergency situation happens. Ours has helped us a few times with illness, lay-offs and lets not forget 2020. I never thought about mac and cheese though, good to know. Thanks for the great video.

Daniel this was a great idea! I really love the idea of it all being contained in the bucket and easy to transport wherever you go. Plus, if you get tired walking, you have somewhere dry to sit for a rest. This was excellent. Thanks for this great idea.

Thank you for all the information on how to store water and to filter it. It can get confusing looking at all the different ones and not knowing which is the better option. Be Safe.

Thank you for the information. Food storage ideas are great as they help me find new ways to store my pantry in a very small home. Be Safe.

Some times it is great to have a snak that might be a little healthy like the cherrios used in a snak mix, But you really brought a good point that when your buying food for your general eating its a good thing to think about getting some food that can be used everyday and for long storage just in case of a disaster it becomes a comfort snak or a meal, but provides some healthy options and a good shelf life. Thank you for sharing.

You really had a great point about having, long term food storage but not only to have food storage but to have storage that you can use in your every food prep, As always I learn so much watching your You tube channels, Thank you for sharing some great ideas.

I have a question. Can you use water collected with a dehumidifier? Thanks for sharing.
