OK! You have me beat. I only have one year supply for 2 people. We try to rotate the stock it it's not easy. Some of the food stuff I have in #10 cans is very old but if you are starving it's better than nothing. Most ove the cans are 5 years old. The stuff we rotate like flower, sugar, beans, noodles and rice are in 5 gallon buckets in mylar bags. Around here caning jars and lids are as precious as the food. The garden and hunting/fishing is only viable if you can store it. All our dry goods in #10 cans just gives us a little time is all. Its something to live on while the real work starts. Most people in this country have less than 1 week of food at their home. Here in Oregon there is a state wide order to prepare for the Cascadia subduction zone 9.0 quake and tsunami. The Government has told us that it will take 5 years to restore power and bridges in our area. They say it is when and not if. Apparently the quakes are fairly regular and we are over due. That is just one scenario out of 100 LOL.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

It can be a ton of work staying on top of all the gardening, canning and food rotation for sure. Sounds like your very well prepared. Hopefully you will never have to put it to the ultimate test.

[@cubabound2049]

@Off Grid, good for you! I'm north of you in BC (right above the Sumas, Washington border) We also garden, tried hay bale gardening for the first time this year, it was interesting..way less weeding. We watch Dutchsinse here on utube, I don't know if you've heard of him, he does earthquake forecasting and is consistent in his accuracy. I am amazed at how little prepared the people are here, for ANY emergency. We don't live off grid, but are prepared to live without power for an extended period of time. We bought solar panels and generators when they went on sale, we have a fully stocked motorhome (including full of gas, same as our vehicles), and we have 6 different ways to cook without power. I will never regret buying an antique wood cookstove! And the earthquake is just one scenario out of 100! Last year we had a winter storm that left people without power for over a week, it wasn't us, but we would have been prepared for it.

[@GunnerAl9]

Dave, I called Mountain House directly and over the phone worked a discount and substitution just like you did for a lot less then there "on sale" price. I actually grouped my order with 2 other friends it worked out well. We did a lot of arguing for substitution prior to the phone call and then made the call with all of there, but only I spoke, or at least that was the plan. By the time we got done asking questions, working the deal, I'm sure the young lady went on a vacation for the stress we put her through; however, she was very accommodating and we were very happy for the price. That was about 2 years ago and we're discussing putting in another order. There have been times when our local military PX puts this stuff on sale or clearance and we snatch it all up, but it's mostly the pouch stuff, not the cans. Great video! Added the link to my Prepper folder.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Gunner, that is awesome! I did not know you could cut a deal with Mountain House directly. I will definitely try that next time around. Thanks!

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

I just checked the "on sale" price also and they want $89 for 6 packs of beef stroganoff normally? It is on sale for $56. So normally they charge $15 for a pouch but they are $9 a pouch on the manufacturers website as a regular price. They may as well make the price $1000 and advertise 98% off. LOL.

For that much money have you considered just buying a freeze dryer?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Steve, It’s kind of two completely different things. In my case, I just wrote a check, stacked it on the shelf and now I have an insurance policy that is non-renewable. If you go the other route, you have a lot of work to do. You have to grow the food (to be renewable), you have to harvest, clean and process all the food. You need a way to power the machine if the utility goes down. The Mountain House comes in a multitude of flavors, can you imagine what it would take to replicate that doing it all yourself. I too am interested in getting a machine and learning the process but I expect it to be a pretty big time commitment so for now, it’s on the back burner. Thanks!

[@plantbasedprepper]

The problem we have had with buying bigger cans or containers of food then we use for just the 3 of us is that we waste half of it after opening because since the container is so big , we don't use it all. For example, we bought a huge container of marina sauce, bbq sauce, etc instead of the smaller ones and it grew mold even in the fridge in just a month. I have since realized that at least for us, since we want a usable pantry to rotate, we are buying the smaller cans because when we open them, all of it can be used up and we can pack those much easier if we have to bug out when SHTF. All of the big cans would be left behind if we had to take off on foot. For big families or gatherings the big cans are great but for just a couple with the kids gone, we would probably never use the #10 cans now knowing we have to use it all for just the few of us. Anyone else experience the same thing?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

PBP, I think that's a big part of "prepping" or just life in general is always improving what works best for you. I have done the same thing with certain foods. Sometimes less is more. You might find this video helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIuWmmunis5-b6M

[@baldieman64]

I thought much the same until recently but invasions, revolutions, wars, famines, economic collapses, natural disasters and plagues come along with some regularity, and whether you look at the US or places like Europe (where a longer timeline can be examined), the chances of something really bad happening are low and the chances of a couple of weeks interruption of services are low to moderate in any given year - but we can do the maths by mapping the frequency of such incidents over a period and working out how likely something similar is to happen in any given year. Even with a 0.5% chance of times getting really tough in any given year, you have a 40% chance of encountering such a situation over the course of a lifetime. The chances of core services and infrastructure going down for a week or more in any given year, are (I would suggest), a lot higher than 0.5% - especially if you live in an area prone to Earthquakes or similar natural hazards. Failing to prepare for at least a disruption in services is, I would suggest, bordering on reckless.

Just did the calculation for my own country, listing plagues, famines, civil war and major external conflicts that would have caused significant hardship for unprepared people. I have included some comparatively localised events like the London plague and the Scottish potato famine but doubtless, history also fails to record others. There were 188 years in the last millennium where people in Britain faced major shortages. That's better than a 20% chance of going hungry in any given year and a near certainty of going hungry over the course of a lifetime.We are incredibly lucky to be the first generations in history to have largely avoided starvation but we can't count on it always being that way.

Our grid was down for five days and I nearly lost my head. I have to admit, I would prefer dying from the coronavirus than having to go through a long term shtf scenario.

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

A little secret when cooking meals. Add less water by several ounces especially the eggs

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Yep. I have found the same thing. Thanks!

[@fernarias]

6 months after production vitamin c is depleted and other water soluble vitamins deplete after 1 year (this is true for capsule vitamins). What do you plan to do then?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

I have no plan for that.

I only need about a months worth. I don’t know where to buy my heart medication in bulk.

[@s0nnyburnett]

Wouldn't spend that much all at once, on one thing, at one time from the same place. Besides being sick of the same thing after a month (and no way to change it since it's all pre mixed and portioned) it'd be a real bummer to find out you got a problem batch or it was recalled/contaminated/etc on your $10k purchase when it's too late. Sure it was convenient and saved you some money buying it from the one site but is it really worth the risk for when it's need most?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

The probability of my bulk order being contaminated is extremely low. You have to focus on what are the most likely risk. I spent only one day of my life on this and it bought me 6-8 months of food security over the next 30 years. Thanks!

Freeze dried coffee can be stored for up to 20 years. Whole beans and ground coffee can be stored for about 9 months without losing its potency and taste. May I ask how you are able to utilize all that coffee without it spoiling?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

David, we don't have any coffee. Not sure what your looking at?

[@janjbowman]

I am getting my own freeze dryer .

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Smart!

[@KYPMbangi]

Everyone: Why this is in my recommendation now? Oh yea that thing..

[@Gadsdan]

I have been doing the search random places here and there and get great deals method. I've got MH eggs and bacon down to about $1.50 a serving and oatmeal down to $0.08 a serving on a ridiculous sale. Far from the quantity are variety of yours, but I'm working on it slowly but surely. Been doing it for about 2 years now, little bit here, little bit there.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Those are some killer deals, let us know when you find these. Thanks!

[@Focused-ni9qh]

Well done sir

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Thanks!

[@dslgod]

Did you by chance open the boxes to see if can we’re dented? As soon as I watched other videos and found out life expectancies of dented cans I checked mine. You don’t want to know! LOL

[@HomesteadEngineering]

I have checked most but not all. Thanks!

[@robertsilva8097]

Back in 1989 I was at this Naval Base in Alameda California on this one day I was giving a military Navy MREs and this military version was so damn great the civilian version sucks big time the civilian version I got sick and threw up but not all products are the same the military version is way better will you try for the first time your mouth will water and when you taste it for the first time you understand why it's so great but that's just my opinion thank you for sharing this video

[@ChatGPT1111]

Yeah but the military version fries your brain to the point where you don’t know how to use periods.

[@happydays1336]

Were the Mountain House entrees too salty? I find this to be a problem because I don't use much salt.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Hello HappyDays, I have not noticed them to be too salty but I do like salt. Thanks!

[@jerrysmith372]

I make my own freeze dried foods the way I like them in my large Harvest Right home freeze dryer. At about 1/3 the cost that crap is.

[@brycebieberich8862]

Sweet stash.

[@Mico8791]

He should of stockpiled toilet paper.

[@thesurvivalist.]

Funny, how everyone thinks you need to eat the whole pack or can, instead of using several different pack or cans to make a meal, like when we cook in our homes and businesses! A normal meal is not just mac and cheese, or a egg breakfast! I know it’s about making it easy, but that is just not how we actually cook normally! I applied to become a distributor, so the price I will pay, will a lot lower then ordering from their website.

[@akaykay568]

So what would you do if there was an earthquake or tornado that destroyed all this prepping?

[@HomesteadEngineering]

I would get up, dust myself off and start over. Improve just a little bit each day, one day at a time...

[@ghostlincon]

Chilly Mac my fav

[@user-ts7ns7bt2v]

Please make the number 10 Mt. house chicken stew cans. I’ll buy 100 maybe 1000!

Jasmine rice, its the only rice that is good on its own

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Neal, I just bought a big bag of it! :)

[@nealthomson9505]

Hey@@HomesteadEngineering :) I'm jealous. I'm trying to sell my old scooter that I was in an accident with about a month ago so that I can get one also. I know that it will serve you well TGC Blessings in abundance

[@rtoney8354]

Very impressive

[@bsd9230]

What do u do for a living that you can do this from both a time and financial perspective

[@HomesteadEngineering]

I work on machines and I sell clothes. :)
