How To Set Up A Temporary Emergency Pantry | "NEW" Pantry Tour! | STOCK UP NOW!

[@angelamehrer4179]

I have a spare bedroom that we are turning into a storage room. Almost a year ago I started dreaming about God having Joseph prepare for 7 years of famine. It took me a while to get that God was pressing me on what to do, but I finally got a clue and started prepping. Only I believe the Holy Spirit is telling me to prepare for 2 years. Just this morning I opened my Bible at random, and once again I opened to when God had Joseph prepare for famine. I feel it so deeply, I can't not prepare. God bless! God is so so good!

[@juliabrown5948]

I feel this exact same way! 2 years. Sadly my husband does not want us to fill up our home with food or clutter because he doesn't want bins or buckets around. Please pray for us! He's a Christian but not actively seeking God on this. I don't want to go against God wishes but we have children and both our parents living nearby. They are our responsibility.

[@angelamehrer4179]

@@juliabrown5948 My husband is a believer, too. He's just not in the same growth as me. We have to keep praying for the Holy Spirit to open the eyes and hearts of our spouses. It's slowly working with mine. I trust God completely to take care of us, and He will. Your belief will cover your family, God promises it.

[@danielleterry180]

I stocked up ! Husband and two grown kids complained when I stuffed under beds closets and every nook and cranny…my answer ? My house my rules my paycheck! So glad I listened to the lord when he told me get prepared grow! Raise meat! I only have a half acre so hens for laying and a 8x26 leanto for meat chickens. It took me 2 years to get prepared and I fear I don’t have enough! No one else in my family has prepared instead labeled me crazy I fear for them as they didn’t move to the country like I did but live in a large city. What I fear is they will wait to last minute then flea houston trying to come here empty handed…I would take them in but that will make my prepping not last long at all. Trying to buy a lot more staples and grow as much as I can, dehydrating as much veggies as I can now b4 my garden is ready to harvest as until they are on the shelf anything can happen to garden.

[@angelamehrer4179]

@@danielleterry180 I worried at first about how we would do it if family were to come over. My house, my rules. You said it! Assign chores for everyone. Have lists of things that need to be handled on a homestead. They would need to bring their a game to our tables in order to eat. And, as I said, I was concerned at first, too. But God reminded me that He fed over 5000 with just a loaf of bread and a few fishes. And could He not do the same for me? Has He not been showing me these last months that He will provide? So, I quit worrying. If we are faithful to God and we have faith, He will sustain us.

[@DDDD17890]

Wow, such a confirmation for me to read this now. I just wrote a letter to a family member who was questioning my prepping, she told me to just have faith. Yah showed me to prep 7 years ago, in 2015. I had started but I was so alone in my walk that I became discouraged and stopped. Thank Yah ge showed me again about 1,5/2 years ago, so I could pick up again. In my letter I was explaining that faith is good but that prepping is also biblical. I explained about Joseph. Then I gave her this verse: And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. Genesis 41:48 I then said: maybe God has little Josephs everywhere now. And as I was saying that, God revealed me that this is so. I heard a lot of people say to get out of the cities, and that bothered me because I have no means to do so. But now I can see by His revelation, that just as how Joseph stored up food in the cities, He now has told many little Josephs to prep with food. And these will also be in the cities (also other places I am sure). What has been done will be done again, there is nothing new under the sun. This is how He provides for His people. He did it back then, He does it now. There will be plagues like then with pharaoh and did you know the bible teaches a second/greater exodus? That will come after. So great, nobody will be talking about the first exodus like we do now anymore, it says. I had dreams like Joseph also, and just like him, my family did not really take them serious and maybe even felt threatened by it (like: who do you think you are?). So I learned to keep my mouth shut. But all puzzle pieces are coming together these days. The 7 fat years are over, we are heading for a huge famine.

[@loricoil1732]

I bought oodles of mylar bags as soon as the covid shutdown began. Expanded the garden and started stocking up. Now I just replace what I use and cycle things forward. I also bought manual equipment. A full set of cast iron everything for cooking. Manual kitchen tools (think about there being no electricity. Hand can openers, mixers, beaters, blenders, food processors, pasta makers, etc), and more old style tools in the garage.

[@lisaruiz149]

That's what I've been doing. Recently, this month, I scored a 5qt cast iron dutch oven ($8), plus 3 different sized cast iron skillets for $5/ea and I've used them and LOVE them. I also got a LARGE boiling pot thing as well for like $15. It's the kind that can run on propane if we need it.

Hope people wake up and take this seriously. Monkey Werx on KZbin shows the shipping barges in China loading area NOT moving or being loaded. We are in BIG trouble with food shortages coming in 6 months. Please get your food now. God bless you all. 🙏

[@lorigarringer408]

We use the same Costco shelves that you have along your wall for your canning. A great tip is buy an extra unit, use the shelves and put them on your existing units. It’ll give you extra shelves without taking up more space. Feel free to reach out if my explanation didn’t make sense.

[@tarynreynolds4719]

Exactly what I have done. Then I've used the poles for a hanging system at camp and even in the garden.

[@sandytmobile4467]

People she's very good on storage but as grandma always did was get a tiny mesh bag so the dollar store had some in the wedding area and out many Bay Leaves in it and mash once to set off and place in containers to protect from bugs also hang around your storage. Grandma was over a hundred she had a fifteen thousand potatoes farm in Bonanza Oregon were no food is growing now thanks to no water if dams taken out and lakes empty. Three year fighting to grow in Oregon. But she did know Bay Leaves

[@toofewacres5690]

I use the same shelves but mine are silver. My pantry is in the basement, cool and dark.. I do a 3 day freeze on pasta and flour to kill eggs and live bugs. Love your channel very informative.

[@TheTexasBoys]

I'd also recommend heavy duty black stackable totes.

[@kmac5836]

I rent a small place without central ac (just have units). During the Summer months, despite black out curtains, fans etc, my kitchen is warm. So I made my office (equipped with ac) into a walk in pantry. I still keep things like kitchen gadgets etc in the kitchen but nothing that can be affected by high temps. I LOVE those racks! I have several of them. I need to look into those garbage cans! Great find!

[@horticultureandhomes]

Mylar does come with zip tops. Pasta pokes holes in plastic and mylar. I have found a 2 or 5 gal bucket with a gamma lid works best for pastas or latge metal tins. Those 3 gallon carmel corn tins hold a lot.

[@missyjean2067]

I deal in original package bag or cardboard what we way it comes double protection but of course everyone has their way of doing things

[@MissChemisse]

I don't store spaghetti or Linguini pasta in mylar, but mylar., penne, and other pasta stores well in mylar. I also store pasta in half gallon mason jars with oxygen absorbers and vacuum seal.

[@sandrataylor8966]

I used thick mylar bags but if I used thin mylar I would use paper towel sheet layers on the ends to cushion.

[@tmarkhamesq]

Thank you for this video. Just fyi for anyone watching- putting things on top of your Home Canned items is NOT safe. The stuff sitting on top of the lids will cause the lid to reseal after a lid has failed - giving you a false seal to a very contaminated and dangerous food. Even the most experienced canners have had lids fail, but they know how to store, inspect, & rotate it so that they can deal with it safely.

[@TheTexasBoys]

Thanks Karen

[@TheTexasBoys]

Canned food can be safely stacked....

[@tmarkhamesq]

@@TheTexasBoys riiiiiight. That’s why there are several canners with decades of experience showing you why it’s not a good idea. Annnd I notice that you don’t any logical reason that contradicts the reason I gave. So I guess we should just take your word for it. 🤦‍♀️

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Agree stacking & leaving rings on is a personal choice (though not recommended). I inform others of the risks & let them do their thing.

[@tmarkhamesq]

@@fourdayhomestead2839 Just fyi, after I researched it more, NCHFP/UGA actually does not recommend against it. But they do recommend removing rings (for the same reason that I and many others recommend not stacking). So it seems very inconsistent to many of us. But just wanted to note that the NCHFP *currently* does not warn against it, although it recommends some precautions when doing it.

[@lylianmunoz3856]

Nothing you share is boring, Im very appreciative and taking notes. God bless 🙌 🙏

[@juliabrown5948]

Will you be bringing us along on what else you are buying/storing in order to ride out the food shortages? Have you changed your buying/canning plans for that reason? Are you doing any LONG TERM storage? Thank you so much!

[@juliabrown5948]

Thank you so much for sharing, Texas Mom! This looks like a great solution for your needs and space! I know you rotate/use up your dry goods much quicker than most families. Do you deal with mice in your pantry? Those plastic cans are sadly not chew proof, fyi for anyone who has mice! The large black tubs with yellow lids from Costco/home Depot seem to hold up to mice. 🤞 Just a heads up for everyone who thinks this would be a long term solution. To keep things longer than 6 months or a year you need to REMOVE OXYGEN and prevent pests and rodents from getting in. Vacuum seal bags or vacuum sealed mason jars are a great option for smaller amounts as well. 👍

I would like to know more on how you store your cashews. We’re also a dairy free household and use a lot of cashews, nuts and seeds. (Luckily, no nut allergies here) I usually only keep 2 months worth because I’m afraid of them going bad. Cashew cream is amazing! Wild rice soup in the ipot with cashew cream stirred in is amazing! Take onion, garlic, celery, zucchini and dice them all up. Then add chunks of potatoes and carrot, one cup of cooked garbanzo beans, 1 cup of wild rice( can use blend of brown to make it go farther), bay leaves, thyme1/2 to 1 tsp ground) and 2 tbsp homemade vegetable bouillon and fill to max line on ipot with veg broth. Cook on high for 25 min. Let it naturally release. Soak and blend 1 cup cashews into cashew cream. Stir cashew cream into wild rice soup and enjoy 😊 I’m thinking of another fridge or freezer just for nuts, but would love a video with any suggestions on storage and what you do!

[@MsCarringHeart]

I just came across your channel. I been working in my pantry for a few years now. I to transformed a bedroom into a pantry. I jave my own over flow of cooking tools and I too have shelves. I like knowing what else I can do. I just got a new shed to use for some dry goods. it just takes time but got to plan for anything. I do agree you got to plan to get things now and reform the budget to plan for emergency.

Such a dream that pantry I love it! Can you link the African black soap and how exactly you use it:) if you ever get a minute. Your just doing great thinking outside the box. I smiled when you said you labeled your label maker too cute

[@SpringFlowers537]

I love, love, love the gamma lid containers that are at an angle that you recommended! I keep my pasta in two of them. I actually don’t take it out of the boxes since it’s spaghetti or fettuccine and would easily break. It stacks so well inside the containers. I used to use totes, the stacking and unstacking made it difficult to use. So the angled gamma lids are a life changer! The big thing is that it keeps the critters out, but I can easily get in! I’m moving so on hold for any purchases, but looking forward to setting up my new food storage. I need to buy a bunch of the metal shelves, do you have a recommendation for where to buy them and best sizes. I don’t have access to Sam’s, but do have Costco although I haven’t seen them there…

How long do your cashews last? I want to buy a few pounds to save on cost but not if they will go rancid before I can use them up. We don't have much refrigeration and little climate control. We live in an RV and just don't have "normal" amenities yet. Our pantry consists of an outdoor storage shed. We insulated it as much as possible but don't keep meat or anything sensitive to temp swings in it. We have a few cans of pineapple but have them in plastic bags - just in case! Sunflower seeds, onion sets and pumpkin seeds have done just fine. But I'm wary of cashews. What sort of storage time do you (or anyone else) get from cashews in your space? I can guesstimate from that accounting for our shed environment. Thanks.
