When storing sugar or salt for a very long time just add saltine crackers in with it to absorb the moisture. It is for this reason I get C & H sugar. They really dry their sugar and you get more sugar per bag than the higher moisture content in others. They save on the weight that they sell you. Read the label. :-)

I have local honey that is almost 20 years old. A farm was going out of business and had a sale. Had 5 glass containers filled. 2 somehow were placed on shelf in basement and forgotten about until we moved and was found. A little crystallized but a little heat does the trick.

Maple syrup is also a forever food. We buy it in cans that are under 16 oz so we never have too much open at a time. It will mould so store in the fridge once opened.

Just bought some more corn starch today! I still have about a cup of vanilla extract that I bought in Mexico over 30 years ago and it is still good. Soy sauce lasts forever but only buy it in a glass jar so you can be sure it was fermented. Pure maple syrup lasts forever. After opening it might grow some fungus on the top but just remove it; heat up the remaining syrup to a boil and you're good. I've got everything you mentioned!

Funny the sugar and salt label .Years ago I worked with someone that made the best Key Lime Pie in the world . Divine is the only way to describe it. I was bragging on this pie for years . A few years ago I ordered one for Thanksgiving and took it to my daughters where we all go every year. Bragged about the pie and no one ate more than a nibble. You guessed it. She had used salt instead of sugar. She stored sugar and salt in 5 gallon buckets. I got home and she gave everyone who purchased a Key Lime pie another Pie and a Free Pumpkin Cheese Cake. The pumpkin Cheese cake was the best cheese cake I've ever eaten , but I kept that to myself. Good list Leisa.

I have made vinegar from my pear peelings and cores for the last 2 years. It is very easy to do. This year I made blackberry and blueberry also from berries I juiced in my steam pot. I got an infestation of fruit flys from bananas from my Walmart pickup last week and read that sitting jars with cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap would trap them. I sit 3 jars out using a couple of spoonfuls of the blackberry vinegar and overnight I caught every fruit fly around about 20 of them. I use the pear vinegar as a hair rince for me and also my dog because he is prone to yeast infections on his skin. Coco powder is a must have in my house of chocoholics . It will also last forever.

[@pinschrunner]

If your dog gets skin infections, that is autoimmunity caused by vaccines, flea and tick and heartworm toxic chemicals. Stop jabbing and poisoning him, give him greens in his food, and bathe him in a coconut oil fragrance free shampoo and leave hos conditioner on for 5 minutes while massage him. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@pinschrunner]

Give us the recipe for the pear peelings vinegar

[@m.c.1933]

@@pinschrunner my dog was adopted 3 years ago after being taken in and nursed by my local vet. He had been brought in 3 months earlier by a good samaritan that found him on side of the road after being either hit by one or thrown out of a car . He had a severely busted pelvis and horribly matted hair that was so bad it had caused severe skin infections. The vet treats all animals brought in whether they have an owner or not. He has severe allergies even to grass. He has not had any shots since I brought him home. He is on an all natural food with no grain no corn and no gmo ingredients. It's just salmon and green peas. It is what he tolerates best. He is given diatomaceous earth for intestinal worms and also dusted with it during flea season. He is bathed with all natural dog soap made locally with baking soda and other soothing oils and all natural ingredients. He is then rinsed with the homemade vinegar. I have taken all chemicals out of everything he gets and have since I got him. Other than a limp and sensitive skin he has no other problems besides the cats when they get tired of him washing their faces every time they come in to eat. I even have to watch what type material blanket he sleeps on . Thank you for the suggestions. God bless!

[@pinschrunner]

@@m.c.1933 AWESOME and cool! When "stray" dogs get brought in, they get shot up with every vaccine at once as the assumption (frequently erroneous) is that they have never had any. So, the dogs become reactive to environmental (grass,etc) and internal antigens (food). Glad he has u for an owner now.

Great video! I had to laugh when you said “label the sugar and salt so they don’t get mixed up”. Many years ago when my boys where young I hurriedly made French toast for their breakfast. One of the boys only wanted 10x sugar sprinkled on his so I quickly did it and gave him his plate. He said it tasted funny, I tried it and realized I had grabbed corn starch instead of 10x!! I felt so bad but they still laugh about it now!

True story: one time I bought some Christmas cookies at a bakery. My taste buds were all ready for that sweet goodness. I didn't taste sweetness, I tasted salt! Lol! I called the bakery to let them know so they wouldn't sell them to another customer. They did refund my money.

[@monkeeblue]

Best to get honey in containers that are not air permeable. Go with glass or honey in a tin. I was buying the big container at Costco but noticed over time that the plastic container would indent as air left through the plastic (like you were vacuum sealing it and sucking the air out).

[@debrawhited3035]

I also buy the Costco honey in plastic, but when I bring it home, I repackage into pint canning jars. I figured if it started to crystalize, it would be a whole lot easier to stand the glass in a saucepan of warm/hot water to reconstitute, than if it was in the plastic. In practice though, the honey never lasts long enough to crystalize! 😉

[@snowysnowyriver]

It is impossible to breed bacteria in honey so it can be used to treat open wounds. Make sure the wound is clean with boiled water if you don't have any antiseptic, then smooth a layer of honey covering the entire wound and the surrounding skin, then bandage with (if possible) sterile bandages. If you don't have sterile bandages, you can make your own by boiling any cotton cloth in water and drying it in an oven or on a hot surface such as the top of a wood burning stove. Honey has complex antibacterial properties which can stop infection from forming or to combat existing infection. It has even been used in cases of necrotising faciitis. Dressings are usually left on two to three days, but may be left longer.

[@jumpoffa5011]

Whereas you are correct in that Honey makes it impossible to breed bacteria. This is due to the high sugar content. However, this doesn't mean that there isn't any bacteria in the honey itself. This is why Honey is often "pasteurized" to kill any bacterium and/or spore "seed" that may be present in the Honey. Cast in point C. Botulinum, not to mention various forms of Yeast that is also found in Honey. It is for this reason that it is not recommended to give honey to children under the age of three.

[@snowysnowyriver]

@@jumpoffa5011 My family have been bee keepers here in England for over 300 years. Everyone one of us was weaned at a few months old with honey, so I beg to differ about giving it to children. We also have never ever pasteurised our honey.

[@jumpoffa5011]

@@snowysnowyriver It isn't recommended by any Pediatrician to give honey to a small child. Please look it up. Since I have your attention can you tell us how commercial honey is put out there for the public? I have noticed that some honey has a higher water content. Can you shed some light on the matter? :-)

[@snowysnowyriver]

@@jumpoffa5011 We don't have anything to do with commercial honey production. Our hives are kept for our own use these days, and any extra is given away as gifts. All honey has some water in it naturally, and the bees dry the honey out as they store it in the honeycomb. If water is being added commercially then that must make for a watery honey and I can't see the logic of it because a very watery honey results in fermentation and renders the honey practically useless. As for the question of whether honey is suitable or not for babies, I prefer to rely on 300 years of history and not one child sick from consuming the honey from our hives in all that time.

Why not sugar or salt? I've done it for many years with no problems. I used to drink a lot of "fruit juice" (Juicy Juice) until I figured out it was sugar water with a little bit of juice.

Vinegar - either type, doesn't cure poison ivy, it just helps with the itching.

I have no plans to purchase a freeze dryer. I am a Thrive Life Foods consultant though. Suttonsdaze.thrivelife.com

AHHH, there's your kitchen - progress? This was a very good video. Another prepper looked at depression food recipe book and out of all of the meals, sugar and salt were in more than anything else. He did it for an Italian, so lots of tomatoes. And Pasta. Some foods do not store but are very good for your health, greens for instance and you can easily plant them in the kitchen window - or bath where they get the humidity. Even I can rarely kill the greens :-) This was excellent 'food for thought' a pun I hope -- all of the bouillon and corn things are off my list, but I make my own bone(chicken) and mushroom broth and I cook everything with one or both of them. I have chickens and a new incubator - so they are my forever food :-). eggs are a complete food to my body and you can make so many things with them. I wish I knew how to keep Lipton tea for ever. I drink it for health reasons and because I am a Southern girl.

You suggest putting the bouillon cubes into mylar bags and sealing them. Of course that sounds wonderful, but are you supposed to reseal it every time you take one out? Or do you just mean this is for a long time down the road when you open the bag and will be using many of them?

[@SuttonsDaze]

Mylar bags are for longer term storage, not your working pantry. Keep out what you feel that you'll use in the next 6 months and bag up the rest.

[@gailspotpourri2930]

You can get ziplock Mylar bags.

I just vacuum sealed quart jars of plain quinoa, but after the fact I wondered if that was a good idea. Quinoa contains 2.5 grams of fat per serving. How long do you think they will last?

[@lindyupton2996]

I am eating quinoa I purchased on sale at Costco5 yrs ago; stored in original bags in a 5-gallon bucket. When I pull out a bag I pour the quinoa in a 1/2 gal. glass jar to keep the bugs out. It seems to store like white rice.

I opened a bag of powdered milk and put it in a jar with a sealed lid will it last accouple years or should of i kept it in the original bag🤔

[@SuttonsDaze]

Glass jar is perfect!

INSTANT coffee...OK, so it lasts forever...but who would want to drink it? Blech! 😉 I am a tea drinker anyway, and though I can't say it would last forever, it lasts for years when using the "DDC" method. Kind of like how we use the ancient can of some spice we only use once a year, and it's still good. McCormick once did a magazine ad about how to tell how old your spices are - it was shocking! I am very happy to say I have all of the listed things in my storage. Might get more lentils now, though. Don't dry beans store long term? I appreciate the tips about what to use and not use oxygen absorbers with.

[@jpjojo3]

If you can get the coffee beans prior to them being roasted, they will last decades. You just have to roast and grind yourself.

Black tea is fermented, and so it is a forever food.

Thank you for an informative and interesting video. I was horrified when you talked about white rice. Because I have only packed brown, red, black and wild rice in my prep. So now I want to start eating my rice, and I now want to buy and prep white rice instead 😊 Here in Sweden I have never seen or heard of potato flakes, but wish I could buy them, it sounds so good. And I do not know how to store everything in a cold room, because I only live in a normal apartment.

[@nataliebutler]

We call the 'potato flakes' instant mashed potato in the UK. You might find that online.

[@bosuli6289]

@@nataliebutler Well I found potato flakes when I googled it yesterday, but then I would buy it from other countries. Here in Sweden only potato chips came up. But maybe I can make them myself, I think I once saw a video where Prepper Potpourri was drying potatoes.
