Hey girl! I can remember when you just had a couple shelves. But you just kept on building. Now look….you have so much now. And a back up for a back up. You have done an extraordinary job stocking and keeping inventory of all the food. I’m so proud of you. And honored to call you my friend. I know Luke is proud of you too. You also speak very well and are able to articulate instruction for beginners. I’m just taken aback by your kindness and how much you care about others who maybe thinking …..well it’s to late to start preparing. You have a “Can Do” attitude and I just love your relaxed demeanor on cam. Your such an inspiration to us Tam! Thank you for helping all of us. I love you. Your friend Kim

[@stacyrussell460]

[@jenniferpierson4723]

This was a very helpful video, Tamera! You had so many tips and tricks for everyone preppers and non- preppers alike. Everyone who cooks, who keeps food on hand for themselves and/or their families could benefit from your methods. The only tip that I can share is that if you have the extra money I can say that an upright freezer is worth the extra money for the convenience and saving on your back that chest freezers can’t offer. I have to say that you ruled your chest freezers like a Queen!

[@kaykrausman8012]

I recently pulled everything out of my deep freeze to take stock and inventory what I had. You are correct in finding stiff you forgot was in the freezer. I found several things I completely forgot about as they were at the very bottom. You never know what you'll find😁

[@bethfloyd8489]

Yes girl! This is awesome…. I worry about people who don’t take this type of thing seriously. It makes me anxious watching some videos and they don’t have enough stored things for next week let alone months/year. We started with an inexpensive dehydrator and began working through our frozen vegetables to make them shelf stable since they’re already blanched. I watch Martin Midlife Misadventures on here and learned that trick. You’re such an inspiration Tamara!!

[@susanmccord8634]

This video gave me some ideas and inspiration for my own food storage! Your home canned food is really coming along! 👍🏼👊🏼☺️ I have learned that it is not advisable to store any food or water containers directly on the concrete floor of the basement. Apparently, there are chemicals that can leech through to the food. From what I've read, it might not be enough to make the food or water toxic; however it can change the taste drastically.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

Yes, I store them on the bottom shelf or in milk crates, so it’s not directly on the floor. I pulled some out so everyone could see what I had.

[@kimberlyscrivner9373]

Your food stores look great, but definitely keep adding to it. Every time you go to the store, buy a little extra. Also, I buy the plastic bins from the Dollar Tree and use those to sort things in my freezer and it is easier to lift off the top layer to get to the things on the bottom. I'm short and "hanging" in the chest freezer is hard...lol!!

[@patriciahartless2095]

Thanks Tamara for showing . How to stock your pantry . And your freezers with food . Have a great day .🦋🌻🦋🌻🦋

[@laurielyon1892]

I think you are doing great! Like you, I'd love to have a freeze dryer, but not in my budget either. I do have dehydrators, water bath canners and a pressure canner. I hope someday you can get one of those because then you will have yet another layer by being able to have your own canned meat on the shelf when you find the deals at your salvage stores. Keep talking about this because people need to do this and NOT STOP!

Two of them are busy with their families; however, the daughter who bought the machine is a doctor and is too busy (and right now not interested in prepping, but she is scared not to), so she had it delivered to my house.

Tamara. Great video. I’ve been prepping for years; before Covid. It’s a wonderful thing to build. Security for eating is so important more than ever. Thank you so much for spreading awareness. Your channel is inspirational.

[@jsbarto1]

You're doing great! Try pressure canning some of your meat and poultry now so you have more "shelf-stable" food in case the power goes out for an extended period. I started pressure canning meat, poultry, and low-acid veggies three years ago and doing so has allowed me to have more put by than I ever would have otherwise. I still have a full refrigerator w/freezer, but in the event of a power outage, I could can most of the frozen meat in my freezer. I'm by myself, so I can in pints and half-pints. I could use another flat of each, so I have a few extra empty jars. I haven't done vacuum sealing, might try that for the rice that I can't can, and for the beans that I prefer not to can right away. Glad I found your channel and I look forward to watching more videos!

[@liannehanna7810]

Thank you so much for sharing. I use plastic tote bags in my chest freezer. this way I am storing in silos instead of layers. You could put your Corn in one, veggies in another bread in another....might be something to try. Also a white board on the top of your freezer that you could scratch off as you use it might be easier to reach than the wall above the freezer.

[@maryohare4141]

Great ideas, amazing pantries! Only thing I could think of would be a packed and ready "bug out" bags for each member of household. Also think about fire or flood or sump pump backing up. After seeing what Russia has done to Ukrainians homes, businesses, roadways...I start thinking... if America got truly got attacked...would our glass jars be destroyed, would we have food spread out in different areas so some survived. Would we have clothes, boots, water bottles, dry food, camping supplies, medicine prescriptions, pets food, etc. Where could we go to, how would we meet up? Those are things that keep me pushing forward.

[@faithrada]

It seems like my really big chest freezer was where food went to die. Things just got lost in there... so I gave that away now that there are just two of us and got a smaller 7 cu.ft freezer. I put gallon water bottles at the very bottom. A) That helps stop food from getting LOST at the bottom and B) helps keep things cold if we lose power.... plus it's good emergency water. My new freezer rule is to A) keep an inventory and B) every 6 months Eat DOWN ALL the food to ZERO.. snd then re-stock with all new fresh stuff. That's what seems to work best for the two of us.

[@tracyhardwick2695]

Girl, I’d love a freeze dryer as well. I’ve been going through my freezer and canning the majority of my meat. I haven’t used our dehydrator yet. I’m in Kentucky too and because of the hurricanes in the south I’ve been without power for a week at a time several times and have had to replace two roofs. We end up getting so much rain and horrible winds. Katrina was one half my neighborhood was with out power and roofs. It’s crazy. I think Kentucky gets good ice storms. Lost power quite a bit from the ice storms.

You might want to take cans out of the box carriers. The cardboard soaks up moisture, especially in basements...and it causes deterioration of metal cans sitting on soggy cardboard.

[@maryohare4141]

Buy plastic food safe bins at dollar general/dollar tree etc. Anything in boxes needs to be put into lidded plastic food safe bins, like candy or snack bars, instant soup envelopes, cocoa mixes, jellow, cake mix boxes etc. Rodents and insects get into boxed or bagged foods and get ruined.

[@SouthernWifeEverydayLife]

I don’t agree. I’ve kept everything in my working prepper pantry in the original packaging unless it gets open for over 3 years now and I’ve never had any issues. If you are working through your stock using and restocking it. It doesn’t need to be put in different packaging. Remember everyone preps differently. Doesn’t mean what they are doing is wrong. Just means that’s what works best for them!

I'm writing you today brothers and sisters because I care about you and where you spend eternity. With so many lies going around about what you must do to be saved, I wanted to share the truth about Gods word with you and maybe give you a better perspective on the Gospel (Good news) well the bible says it is appointed to man to die once and then the judgment " yes there is going to be a judgment you see God is a holy God and in him is no darkness at all..the bible says we have violated Gods law (ten commandments) and are guilty of Hell and seperation from God for eternity this originally began in the garden of eden. Heres the Good news though, God loved you enough to send his only son into the world in the flesh to be crucified for our sins..yes that's right christ was sinless and bore our sins in his body, because without the shedding of blood there could be no remission of sin. So he was crucified on our behalf he was dead 3 days and then rose from the dead, victorious having defeated death, and now is seated at the right hand of God interceding on the behalf of the beilever. So that whoever repents of their sins and puts their faith and trust in Jesus christ as lord and savior, will be saved from the judgment of hell and will have everlasting life with God for eternity. Love u. Blessings my freinds the time is at hand;).

That was my goal for 22 but I had a health emergency in 2021 and ended up in the hospital. My grocery budget dropped to zero so it started in 2021. I had to work with what I had.

I found my gaps and I have been working on filling it

Great video. Visualization is the break through that some people need to make sense of prepping. Your explanations were great too. I think it is important to make sure you like the food you in your prepper pantry. I thought I liked Vienna sausages. When was a small child I wanted to go with my grandfather on his boat. His occupation was self employed fisherman. He would be gone all day & would take with him a couple of cans of Vienna sausages, a sleeve of crackers, a couple bottles of pepsi(this was way before bottled water). My mother didn’t want me to go with him since he was deaf, she was afraid I would fall overboard & he wouldn’t hear it. Recently I ate a can of Vienna sausages & don’t really like them. If it was a dire emergency I am sure I would eat them.

[@amandasnailtasticnails9657]

I’ve never been a fan of Vienna sausage, however, I don’t think I ever ate them as a kid. So I know I won’t ever put them in my pantry. Maybe I should buy a can to see if I like them.

Hi Tamara, since I started 16 8 intermittent fasting, I noticed my food storage going waaaay further. Plus I've lost weight and gained other health benefits. I have black coffee and vitamins in morning. Eat at noon, 4pm and finish supper by 8pm. Then only herbal tea after 8. If all the adults in the house follow this, it makes food storage much easier and everyone sleep better and make better food choices. Ie... I'm satisfied with very simple meals from my food stores now

[@shirleyshirley4188]

We are working on a few solar panels to keep our fridge and freezer going. Since we live in the deep south, maybe also run a small window AC for one room. Previously, for hurricanes we ran a large generator for utility interruptions. Now we feel is is reasonably to prep in case of frequent, or long term utility interruptions. (just in case) We can also turn off the fridge/freezer for an hour at night and get a load of clothes done. Of course, our food pantry takes precedence....

[@PattymacMakes]

I have a few solar generators to keep my frozen and refrigerated food safe. I absolutely love them! It does require consistent sunshine to really work so it’s great when the sun shines. I have a small inverter generator to recharge the power stations on days when I don’t have sun. It’s been so much to think about but I’m happy we have these things. I’m still getting enough solar panels to make it realistic but I add something each month to space out the spending.

I know some people may think this is extreme, but, we had two terrible storms in my area a few years ago back to back. One was a 2 tornados that wiped out most of our cities electricity and then the temps dropped and we had a small blizzard. This happened in March in Illinois... we were lucky and had power, by the grace of God, but my grown children living in different areas of town did not. So, we were like a hotel. And I had food for everyone because I had a decent pantry. The stores were out of power and most were closed because of the damage. The tornadoes hit minutes apart on opposite sides of town. . It was crazy.
