Build Your Emergency Food Storage FAST | Prepper 101

If you are BRAND NEW to preparedness, or you are looking to review your gear, this is the video series for you! We are looking at how to quickly make progress in your preparedness journey through short, actionable videos. Today we are going over the very basics of building a FOOD STORAGE BOX.
There are lots of methods for building up your food storage. You can build up a thick working pantry, start tackling 6 months of grains and legumes, or plan weekly. For me, building a dedicated food storage box is a quick way to get 7 days of meals that you already eat ready and set up without extra cost or worry. These foods can be cycled into your everyday pantry and replaced every 6 months to a year.
While I am recommending starting with 7 days, ideally you’d move on to quickly having 2 weeks. From there you have enough breathing room to start planning for a 30 day food storage plan.
(Links to my course, FOOD STORAGE IN A WEEKEND and my free food storage playlists below).
BIG KEYS:
⭐ Store foods you already eat! If you’re buying new to you stuff, test it first!
⭐ Plan to add more water storage if you’re using lots of dehydrated/freeze dried food
⭐ Don’t forget to store dinks - coffee, tea, juice mix, rehydration powder
⭐ Keep It Simple. Save worrying about macros and calories for your long term food storage plan -this box is your quick start with grocery-store food that you can build TODAY.

For fruit/vitamin C/hydration I included some apple juice individual sized juice boxes. They have an ok shelf life. Apple juice or cranberry juice can also be heated up (add chai teabag or cinnamon stick and then you have a hot cider type of drink). I like mixing those ready to eat canned soups/stews/chili with an extra starch like a can of potatos or chick peas, or a precooked rice packet. It stretches out the meal and can dilute some of the excess saltiness.

This is such a fantastic intro video. I'm interested in prepping and have never watched anything on it. Thank you!

We like to go on vacation with air bnbs but then we always have to buy groceries when we get there. I wonder if one way to cycle this would be to bring the food box or some of it along and refresh it when you get back!

[@SustainablePrepping]

Thsts an excellent idea!

I want to get some more citrus dehydrated and freeze dried

[@ninconnue5609]

I have a jar of milk powder to add to my instant oatmeal in my emergency box. Easy to just add a spoonful or two to your bowl.

[@SustainablePrepping]

Perfect addition!

[@rw8147]

You can also just make your oatmeal with your coffee. Depending on the flavor, it works really well. I also like protein powder in my coffee oatmeal.

[@SustainablePrepping]

I think I would miss a hot cup of coffee!

I use the Augason farms 1 week pails one for each person or you can get a 30 day pail for a family of 4

[@cassandra2789]

Just a tip - make sure you like and will eat the food in these preset packages. Not all of it is good and in a SHTF situation, bad food will just make you more cranky. I have a couple on hand for last resort but did create my own with food my family will enjoy.

[@SustainablePrepping]

Same advice - I had bad experiences with a different company’s prepackaged food pail so I mostly stick to familiar “conventional”/ grocery store items or single ingredient freeze dried items.

Hi I just found your channel after reading an article you were featured in! Loving your videos and your focus on progressive, fear free prepping. I am restarting our food pantry after we lost a bunch of things to mice (now I have learned to better protect our food from pests). We have frequent long term power outages where we live, and prepping is really a necessity at this point!

[@SustainablePrepping]

Glad you found us! Welcome, welcome!

[@amberwhite8023]

I enjoyed this video thank you. Very informative . 👍

[@sara2bhunter]

Can u show u puting the food in the box

[@GardeningWarrior]

I just wanted to let you know those instant oatmeals are very harmful and full of really horrid things. You might want to research conveneience foods as they have been found to have high levels of known carcinogens and poisons.
