Thank you. Very helpful.

That's exactly what I do. Other tips on prepping beside food and water but things most preppers will not talk about. That is female hygiene items such as tampons, Kotex, shampoo, toothpaste, TP, etc. My daughter is 8 years old right now, not yet but as she gets at that age, she is stocked up for hopefully a couple months. I thought ahead and bought them before Bidenomics got carried away with consumer prices. Other thing that is very important to stock up on is OTC medications from pain meds, diarrhea, to cold/flu meds. Buy on sale and stock up. I vacuum seal dry medications to keep them fresh longer. I vacuum seal wooden stick matched to keep dry. You understand what I am getting at. Thank for another video.

What if you took this a step further? I assume you add some favorite spices when you cook the rice. Could you add the spices to the bowl of rice and mix before you bag it, then when you go to cook it, you don't have to worry if you have your spices available? Another example would be cornbread. I love cornbread, but you do have to add milk and eggs. For prepping purposes, could you add powdered milk and powdered eggs (you will need to note the amount of water you need to add for both) and then vacuum seal it all together so that in the event of an emergency, you could cook cornbread without worrying about milk and eggs which might have gone bad in your fridge if the power is out? You could also do this with flour for a regular bread recipe or a cake mix or even pudding. I am also wondering if you vacuum seal any pasta? I am enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing them.

Yes, that we can premix food. I do that with some of my backpacking meals. I make them ahead of time so I just add water like I do with Mountain House Freeze dried meals. There are already pancake mixes and other mixes that have the dried milk and eggs in them. We can buy bulk and do it that way or add powdered milk and package it ourselves. We have all those in storage already but it would be nice to only have to open one bag instead of multiple. We vacuum seal small pastas like macaroni and they crack and make quite the commotion when we seal them because they break some. We could pre-make pasta dishes too. My Bride is a great cook but this would simplify things. I always tell people that they should make everything they do as simple and as stress free as they can for emergencies.
