7 Creative Ways to Build a 3 Month Food Supply

[@SN-bl6xm]

I have a tiny 1 bedroom apartment and my food and water is just stocked everywhere in my unit. Tomorrow I will transform my bedroom walk-in closet to a pantry. I ordered some shelves which I will build together tomorrow. Good luck to everyone and stay safe!

Exactly I did that too and plus under my son twin bed. Also it is very very important 💦 water. I just order 5 gallons stackable container .

[@randomnesspersonified]

A tip (if you don't already) for saving space on storing clothing and duvets/bedding which are seasonal is to use the plastic space bags where you suck the air out with a vacuum cleaner. You can also roll the air out of them but the vacuum is easier if available. I place a piece of paper with a list of what's in the bag on the part which stays flat after you've sucked the air out, so I can easily see exactly what's in there. I find the flatter style bags easiest as they can either stack easily horizontally, or you can slot them individually into vertical spaces when needed. It's amazing where you can fit them and it saves lots of space in which you can then store other items. It keeps all the fabrics clean and dry until they are needed again as seasons change. I've found them to be a great investment in our very small family home. I'd say if you're going to do that, the best plan is to quickly vac-pack all the winter items you have right now and find slots/cubby holes for them, because they do take slightly more space than smaller summer items (for example bulky sweaters rather than pairs of shorts/vests etc) so you will know for sure where exactly your bags will fit when it comes round to next summer and storing the winter stuff away. I hope that bit makes sense! Good luck to you, all the best.

When I lived in an apartment and started prepping back in 2009, I took the legs out from my bed and replaced them with milk crates and filled them up with cans and jugs of water. When you are pinched for room you begin to get clever.

Kudos for the video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Proutklarton Surviving Technics Plan (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing exclusive product for learning how to survive any crisis without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend Sam at very last got astronomical results with it.

[@mauronicolascanseco1643]

This was great, been searching for "emergency food storage on a budget" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ponannah Unthinkable Prestige - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to produce an amazing bug out plan for your survival minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.

[@christiana_mandalynn]

Such helpful information! When my husband and I were first married and dirt poor, we just bought extra pasta noodles and jars of pasta sauce for our storage . As we expanded, we just bought a few extra cans of food during sales and extra of whatever we usually eat. I always felt a little defeated because it wasn’t “real, dried, emergency food”. Then we began having kids, and one of them is an EXTREMELY picky eater. Having a pantry x 2 (double of everything) has turned out to be a huge blessing. We lived off our food storage for several months when my husband lost his job, and we used our money to buy fresh things. I learned how to make my own bread with flour from our emergency bins instead of buying bread. Also, having a deep freezer has allowed us to stock up on healthy frozen vegetables, fruits, and meats from Costco, this dramatically reducing our food budget each month because we have food stocked in the freezer. We just rotate what we need to buy and eat! Obviously this is not a power outage solution but having a deep freezer is tremendously helpful for meal planning and budgeting because you can buy in bulk (like at Costco and Sams club) and rotate. If we feel in the mood for milk shakes or smoothies, we don’t need to drive anywhere- we have vanilla ice cream and frozen fruit in the deep freezer! I love the concept of buying and storing what you already eat. We truly are creatures of habit and during a disaster, we need something familiar, especially kids. I need to start practicing cooking without power next.

[@traclynnhinton1004]

I have been prepping for 12 years. First off store what you eat, eat what you store. We eat out of our preps everyday. I don't use my freezer all that much. When power goes you loose it all. Canning, dehydrating, mylar bags, and oxygen absorbers are your Best bets. I highly recommend even if you're not Mormon to go to the Mormon cannery in your state. Years ago when I started prepping they really helped me. Once you get your water and 3 months of food set up. Then you can start on other things like medical, personal hygiene and other things.

[@m.jenkins8503]

Good idea.

[@susieawalt7416]

I was put to the test recently. We had a bad storm and lost power for 8 days. Out came our preps, candles, oil lamps, batteries, camp stove etc. The real task was to can the meat/food in the freezer. I canned for days to keep from losing it. Thank goodness I had enough canning supplies on hand.

[@donaldsmith3048]

I have fat fingers and small buttons. I was in Germany when the wall was being put up in Berlin. In school I learned to be ready all the time. Thought I was ready in 2004 when I got 2 Hurricane in one month. I found out that we can't be ready for everything. But must keep working at getting better at it. First if you are not ready for the type of things that happened in the part of the world you are in. Start there! You need to be ready for the power to be out for a week! That is a way to have some light, way to eat, and away to get information. If you can't do that then start there. Where I am it is Hurricane, other places it is snow storm, earth quake, tornado, or what ever happens around what you are. when you can go for a week with No outside help, then start working on a month and keep making it longer. Someday you may get where you can go for 2 years, that is when you are starting to be ready!

[@Tinkerbell31326]

Absolutely agree with your comment. I once told them that their channel is the University curriculum on food prep. I am in a financial situation that I could never be as prepared as they are. But I do my best.

[@constitutionalrepublic1966]

The Provident Prepper The dollar tree has some nice and sturdy manual can openers that you can use for emergency and survival uses. I also found good quality cork screws. Other good items are there also. I bought the largest amount of rice, beans, quinoa, lentils, there, and at Kroger’s, plus all those items can be put in a container and grown as starters seeds in the house then 🌱 planted in the garden. Anything like caraway seeds, yellow mustard seeds, alpha sprouts, bean sprouts, and other seed spices can be also planted and grown. I saw a video yesterday to carry food if you have to leave. The family used a clean and dry 16oz soda bottles and filled them with rice, beans, for instant and light weight dry meals to cook, (like MRE’s). I thought it was genius! Every member of the household can carry these in their camping backpacks. The small and larger soda bottles can also be used for transport. Other small containers can be used for salad dressing, 🧈 powder, sour cream powder and there are other dry powder foods that replace wet food like refrigerator sour cream. Make whatever you want with other powder food. Anthony’s Goods on Amazon has most of these in 1, 1 1/2, 2 pound plastic, light weight plastic containers. I have a lot in my pantry to make and go.

It’s hard to get started. What I did was sat down and chose 3 breakfast 3 lunch and 3 dinners. Then I stocked up on those items. That was my start. Then I expanded that plan. When I felt comfortable with that phase I started on other stuff. Like jars for canning and spices and salt. Then you just keep adding

Re-visiting these videos as a "refresher course" in mid-February 2020--- having food put up looks like it will be critical this year and particularly this coming fall and winter.

Another is Shepherds pie made with canned tomatoes, beef boullion, dried carrots, freeze dried peas, canned hamburger and boxed mash potatoes. The final one is chicken pot pie, made with canned chicken, chicken gravy mix, homemade pie crust, canned mixed vegetables or a combination of dried and freeze dried vegetables. Oh and I use dried onion in all of the recipes. I really can't afford the meals in a jar ingredients, but I've found that combinations of canned, dehydrated and freeze dried ingredients are affordable.

[@Pl4ntl4dy]

Thank you for the video, I think the emphasis on a steady pace is indeed very helpful. What really helped me to get started was to get doubles. I would make a meal plan, even if just for a day or maybe a few days and then get those meals twice. That way I knew I would be getting items that we enjoyed and would actually use. The small steps also helped me to keep the costs in check.

[@NewHampshireJack]

This KZbin is a great kick-starter for those who have not yet began their storage. We believe that three months (or more if you can) will get a family past any common emergency such as a flood, earthquake damage etc. This storage will allow you to transition into your longer term plan and long term storage when or if a more serious calamity hits. After a few weeks, most folks can fairly well asses the long term outlook and take action from there if they are properly prepared. Yet another superior video to rally those who truly care for their loved ones and surrounding community members.

You are correct that food prices go up anyway. It is better to stock up through sales. I just spent $500.00 on shelf stable foods and also necessities. If there are shortages. Prices will go up, providing you can even get the food! I only bought foods we like, so it is a no lose. Now I will not have to go shopping for quite a while!

What I have learned is to watch expiration dates, and to simplify the bases, ie not too much variety in canned goods etc. This is our emergency prep, so I've started storing in mylar bags etc. When we move early next year we will be building up a 3 mth rotational pantry.

I have been developing meals that my family enjoys that use foods that have a long shelf stable life. I also have put a lot of time and research into learning how to make our favorite foods at home, how to make tortillas, ketchup, salad dressings, mayo, and more from raw basic ingredients. I think it is important to practice making meals using limited ingredients and developing skills on producing and preserving foods. Write out your recipes from digital sources. Learn how to mix your favorite seasoning blends. Try different food substitutions for your tried and true recipes so if you lack a particular item you already know what to replace it with. Basically, learn how to be diverse with your food resources. Knowledge is free and it is the one thing any and everyone can stock up on.

I found that it is easy to get $5-$10 more a week. I live in South Florida and we get Hurricane from time to time. It is strange to see the local Walmart that doesn't have water, bread, and it was almost a month after a storm before they had spam! The thing that many say isn't good but most know that Spam has a long storage. I keep it all the time! I keep bread in the freezer. I also make up sweet tea put it in 2L drink bottles and put it in the freezer. When the power is out because of a Hurricane the frozen tea helps keep the freezer cold and when I don't have power to make tea, I have some all made and ready to drink, as soon as I have used it in the refrigerator to keep things cold. I also have about 10 2L drink bottles with water in the freezer. Helps keep your refrigerator cold but then have water to drink. After a Hurricane with no air conditioning and a lot of cleanup to do l can't say to much about having sweet tea and a lot of water to drink. I also have Gater aid! 4 or 5 water and a Gater aid or sweet tea. Can't do just sweet tea, must have lots of water. Stress dehydrates your body! Fighter pilots have 2-3 bottle of water that comes out with them if they have to put the handle to eject. They are told to drink them as soon as they are on the ground. Because the stress dehydrates you, when you are dehydrated you sometimes do think good. FACTS,

Wow, I thought I had my act together until I viewed this video. I am a new subscriber and will definitely check out both your website as well as the other KZbin videos you have. I store the majority of my everyday food items, except grains, spices, baking supplies and some packaged food, in our basement, along with our two freezers. Our basement is cool, dry and dark. I always prided myself in how I organized, rotated and kept multiples of food products on the shelves, until I went downstairs and actually looked at what was on the shelves. What I saw was multiple condiments, oils, canned soups, chicken and tuna. Coffee, corn beef hash, are few canned veggies, fruit and beans, both legumes and baked beans and spaghetti sauce. Now that might seem like a nice supply but I am missing one big thing...creating tasty meals from this and writing them down. We, too, have our favorites and I realized that we usually went to the store to get those ingredients. My everyday food stores looked like my long term, be happy you have at least that, storage. lol. What an eye opener. My plan is to write down some of our basic go to dinners and write all the ingredients. I can't tell you how many times I have to go to the grocery store to pick up hamburger or macaroni for one of our favorite meals... American chop suey. Thank you for this eye opener.

Thank you for your video. After living thru a forest fire evacuation 3 yrs ago I have been building my GO bag/packs but now with this pandemic my goals for stocking foods has changed. We have lived thru an emergency and know the importance of being prepared so your info is helpful in planning thoroughly. I liked the suggestions about just stocking what we eat in a 2 week rotation and multiply that.

There won´t be many still standin after this one. But I hope you will!

[@ms.hotdoglegs614]

What do you mean?

[@That.Lady.withtheYarn]

Meal in a jar. Soups are easy to make. White rice stores a long time. Also powdered veggies cam ad nutritional value to homemade items and soups

[@bigbuggie5]

I want to be this prepared! How do you store meat?

[@dreamleaf6784]

A few months ago my local walmart was empty. Fresh produce tho, unscathed. So I had to eat fresh produce. It was hotrible

[@graceparsons5822]

I see a real need for this. But how do you store long term food when you live and travel full time in an RV?

[@graceparsons5822]

I have some things stored at my brother’s house. But he is getting it fixed up to sell. So that is not a long term solution. We have room under the bed for storage, but weight is a big factor in an RV.

[@terryrobinson8975]

You might want to consider renting a small storage unit in a place you frequent fairly often. Perhaps in a town where you have family or close friends. Freeze dried food is the lightest. Especially in Mylar bags.

[@chrishamill3170]

Looks like you try to share prepping in your own perspective. The foundation is having stored food And water, keep storing up things while you can. Learn to can, dehydrate, grow food. This is not short term As the price increases on food and things you use daily are rising. Don’t listen to Homeland security That tells us to prepare for two weeks while they tell FEMA workers 6 months until December 2018, Now we are to have 6 months of supplies....what are FEMA workers told now?

[@terryrobinson8975]

18 months is the recommended amount from FEMA.

[@venuscruz6075]

After building up this much food, I would be concerned of having a house fire and losing it all. I know someone who this exact thing happened to.

[@eerynessential]

Oh wow💔😢

[@richardelliott9511]

Please don't let that stop you from gathering those food resourses. Be pro-active, call your insurance co or the local fire dept and sign up for whatever fire risk assessment programs they may have and take their recommendations. Get informed about fire extinguishers and buy some. Take the responsibility to reduce your own risk!

[@lockergr]

Trouble is all I eat is fresh meat, vegetables, fruits, etc. I never buy canned goods. So for me it's a real added expense and stuff I some actually want to eat. Plus, I'm single, so it has to be things that are one portion, so that is far harder than with two people. It's very challenging. I don't eat anything junkie, so finding all natural canned soups and such is really darned hard. I also have food intolerances that are the type where I would vomit or have severe diarrhea if I ate soy, milk or gluten. So yeah, it's a challenge. There's very little that's appetizing out there that fits my diet. Technically I eat paleo so that would be no grains whatsoever, but you just can't do that in an emergency. So I keep rice.

[@lockergr]

@@TheProvidentPrepper Okay, thank you for that tip. I know it just takes thinking outside the box in order to be prepared.

[@lunes-1]

👍🎅

[@indriahappy1627]

The most important if blackout or electricity off, we must have two type stove . Gas stove , and electricity stove . If electricity off, refrigerator off , and all frezeer stock food will melted .

[@alicesigford7459]

Thanks you for till us

[@satrenagayle]

Should the 3 mo. supply include fresh/frozen meats or just can meats? I'm late at getting started but im happy to say i now have more then just a 3 day supply liked i did yr after yr

[@sharonjohnston9502]

Should not leave rings on jars moisture rust the rings and u dont no if they become unsealed .it happens.

[@XoXoDreaMeoXoX]

1:50 I'd LOVE for Ketchup to be $1.50 NOT on sale lol Now it's like $4.00 Love your channel!! Subbed ❤

[@pookiehoney]

At this point fooling around shouldn't be an option to anyone with no supplies. If you have money make a list and go buy everything pronto. If you don't have money, sell stuff, get a second job for a while, anything to get your hands on the money to prep. No fooling around go buy everything or you will suffer.

[@yaelrar.4460]

Well said. When communist Obama got into office, that was the catalyst to prove to me this country is headed downhill. I taught myself to prep. Then when hurricane Sandy hit, I had no stress because I was already fully prepared. Now with this pandemic, I'm once again not stressed. I already had plenty of toilet paper. You would think that after so many emergencies and crisis people would wake up and become self-reliant. But the liberals have so trained the masses to be helpless and dependent on someone else rescuing them.

[@jackiepierce9281]

After thankgiven, we can the Turkey with vegetables, everybody is semi sick of eating this stuff then, but later? Christmas is good also, we have a food like salvage store, end of the year there is surplus in many difference fruits and vegetables, you got it, can it, plus all of the extra grocery, we try to stay six months out, is that enough? catch you later going to the store

[@carmenmendez6836]

How to know when is enough, we're three in my family?

[@patriciatauzin2353]

I have a six month supply of food, ,but I don’t rotate through it. I don’t normally eat the things I stock up on. They will be a delicious in an emergency though. I can’t store the kinds of food I eat on a daily basis.

[@grod0051]

Hi. I go to food pantries and have food galore. I have had to put boxed food up in cleaned Tidy Cat boxes, water in 2-3 gallon jugs which I store on my deck, I have no room inside. I have rice, noodles instant mashed potatoes and beans in jars, under my bed and have even used 2 liter bottles. All with oxygen absorbers!!! Frankly I'm out of room. I'm in a mobile home and have food everywhere and don't know where else to put things except into storage, which I already pay for.

[@grod0051]

@@TheProvidentPrepper I feel I can do better tho!!!! I don't can cuz Dh refuses to eat canned goods. He was brought up on boxed potatoes. Nasty stuff if you ask me but it is what it is. I do have All of the canning supplies tho!

[@poolahpot]

There should be an APP for this! 👏🏻 A food prep calculator APP. Where one could put in their weight(or what their healthy weight should be😉) and it would give you the calories needed per day. Then how much quantity of each food one would have to buy and store to maintain this. Is there such a thing out there???

I dont like the format of this video. I want to see how and what preps you use for the 3 month. The pictures were on too long and are boring. Sorry jmo

[@nikolodeon19]

I have always wanted to do this but I live in a 2 bed 2 bath single wide trailer and there's just no room for a pantry we don't have one. I have the money to do this but no where to put it. And I can't build something outside of or onto the trailer because we don't own the land and our lease prevents it. Any ideas on space for storing. BTW I live in SC where we have lots of ants and rain so a shed is a no go as well.

[@margaretbauer4126]

Hey nikolodean19! I found cheap popcorn tins at the thrift store and yard sales. I keep the rice and beans in them in there original bags and stack them in the corners of my rooms and closets. I have rearranged furniture to be kitty corner in the room and place them behind the furniture. I even show case the prettier can on the dining room table or on my dressers. Good luck!

[@thriftytowers7160]

I love the one-week-box!! Really informative vid, thx!

[@laragreene8328]

i DONT like can food that much....i need a freezer to freeze fresh veggies and meat. I'm still looking for a good affordable one!!

[@RayHellwig]

That ketchup should be returned to the store if possible, or moved to your barter area. It is full of sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

[@markgoodwin183]

You are worried about ketchup? Most of the food that is stored is not healthy.

[@RayHellwig]

@@markgoodwin183 You are right. I just picked what I considered to be the worst item. I eat KETO now, and most prepper food items are not in my diet.

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Making homemade ketchup is pretty easy, and can be done with stuff that stores well like tomato sauce or paste, vinegar, and dried spices and such. Same for stuff like barbecue sauce, salad dressings, etc.

[@thefirstnoob5577]

They can out before this video advising everyone to have 6 months of food and water but it would be better to have a years worth. I prep. I like to have more than beans and rice so I prep regular groceries we will eat.

Where do you purchase your oxygen absorbents from?
