I even turned off my gas just to see if I could get along without it. Nope! My water heater is gas, and my dryer. You can't make changes once the country declares food shortages.

When I first started using coconut oil, it didn't have a BB date on it. About 10 years ago, I ordered a bunch of 1/2 gal containers because I found a good sale. I still had a few in my storage.

[@sharondesfor5151]

Rice, beans, oats, spices/condiments, canned/dried veggies, shelf-stable tofu, dried soy protein chunks like tvp and soy curls, canned/dried fruit, flour, coffee. That said, my spice/condiment category is extremely broad and includes everything from cooking spices from multiple cultures to baking soda to cocoa powder to pickled jalapenos and more. If it lets you turn plain ingredients into something completely different, it goes in this category. Something I've recently tried is dried wakame. It rehydrates thoroughly very quickly, and makes a lovely fresh salad. Shelf life is as long as you can keep moisture out of it. I have enthusiastically added this to my storage!

[@JanuaryLisa]

Kylene, the foods you have mentioned over and over that you NEED (such as chocolate!) are all high in Magnesium. I think if you up your mag supplementation, you may curb those cravings. Keep in mind that there are many types of Mag, and you may need to find the one that works best for you!

[@ulmersapiens]

Many hard pressed tablets will last 10 years absent oxygen, so when you run out of chocolate… of course chocolate is good for its own sake!

@@TheProvidentPrepper you can ABSOLUTELY "supplement" with chocolate! But if I were you, I'd also get a Mag that works for your body IN ADDITION to stocking up on chocky, so you don't have to "dechoc" and have withdrawals if the Apocalypse happens next week. 😂

Thank you for your video. I phoned the Grain Elevator and whole wheat is cheaper than it was last year. I don't get it. Anyway, $355 a ton compared to $400 last year. I want a half ton Wheat and maybe 500 lb of whole Oats. I'm going to get it while the getting is good. I vacuumed packed 4 kg Rolled Oats this morning just because I could. I love your selection. I'm all about the drugs, ... as in Coffee and Tea for me. The Tea is for the old folks I like to say, but! I know I'd be drinking it so fast if there was no coffee to be had. That's why I buy lots and vacuum pack it with Oxygen Absorbers. It's going to be hard on the old folks when we're down to the Pasta, Rice, and Beans. So I've canned and dehydrated a lot of Potatoes as well as Carrots, Turnips, Squash, but I'm spoiled. I can buy a dehydrated Seven Veggie Melody from the Bulk Barn and it's just too easy. Again, packed into mason jars with absorbers. I started dehydrating Peas as filler in the jars of Potato slices and it paid off too. I can fit two cups of dried peas in a full quart jar of Potato slices. The Bulk Barn also carries bulk powdered Mac and Cheese sauce mix (made with real cheese) and I get all kinds of that stuff for all the pastas I have. It gets packed into mason jars with the oxygen absorber of course. I have all kinds of Pasta sauces and there's always the cans of Cream of Assorted Soups that go into anything and everything. I've decided we need more powdered Skim Milk so that next on the list. I think I'd prefer too much powdered Milk than too little and I do believe I have too little. I bought more peanut butter today too and it wasn't cheap. $10 for 2kg, (4.4 lb) Now I'm big on the old timey dried fruits like Dates, Raisins, Prunes, Maraschino Cherries, so I vacuum pack them away too except the Cherries, they're in bottles. AND! I keep packing the Flour away, 10kg in a five gallon Mylar bag and bucket with 2500cc Oxygen Absorber. Oh, I found a recipe for Banana Jam using Pineapple, lemon juice, and high content sugar and it's some good with peanut butter! Good luck.

As far as adding vegetable or bean to a dish... Dried vegetables can be powdered and added to almost anything (Like bean flour) If you dont have a grinder for beans...soak the beans, cook if possible, and mash them.

Freeze drying eggs as this video posted - a food I want, just wish fried eggs would freeze dry better but scramble fits the bill - I love how the cheese freeze dries - the cheddar is so flavorful -

[@OhavYisrail]

for Jonathan, look into nutritutional yeast. I use very little dairy, but have found that nutritional yeast gives that cheesy flavor to pizza, pasta, salads, etc.

[@OhavYisrail]

QOTD mine are very similar to y'alls with a few exceptions. 1. Wheat, I store some but I'm not a huge bread eater. I used to be but as a long term single individual, I have found that I simply can't get through an entire loaf of bread before it goes bad. I have some wheat stored for sprouting, and I suppose I could grind it for making baked goods. Major exception being pumpernickel. I can eat an entire loaf of that in one sitting lol. 2. for potatoes, I also store the dehydrated hashbrowns. I use both the potato flakes and the hashbrowns in my daily cooking (It's my primary source of carbs). the hashbrowns I get at sams and repackage. The flakes I get from the HSC and even though I rotate through them quickly I have found that they are better quality than the ones from the store. 3. for beans I store the above varieties, but also I store red lentils, black lentils, and chickpeas (I get them from the indian and middle eastern markets, small benefit of being an urban prepper lol). A lot of the emotional attachment to foods is actually cultural. Having homemade hummus to me is one of those comfort foods, and there's a similar dip I make with red lentils. Falaffal is another comfort food for me, so the chickpeas some in handy there as well. Plus lentils don't require as much advanced planning. You can literally go from dry to fully cooked in like 15 minutes with red lentlis. 4. meats I don't eat them so I don't store them. I do store the freeze dried eggs. 5. dairy is a tough one for me. I used to store a lot of it but as I have gotten older have found that my system can't handle it very much anymore. I'm in the process of regifting the diary in my storage.

[@OhavYisrail]

and really, should chocolate be even in question here? Eating chocolate produces endorphins which are essential to combating stress and maintaining a healthy mental state. So I would definitely include it higher on the list.

[@KellyS_77]

Have you tried sprouting the wheat then dehydrating before grinding it? Sprouting helps breakdown some of the "anti-nutrients" that make wheat hard to digest. (Sourdough fermentation has s similar function.) I agree with your top 7, my last three would be coffee/tea (I could eventually live without them but quitting caffeine cold turkey would not be a pleasant experience for myself or anyone around me lol), rice (especially short grain rice) and meats, mostly home-canned chicken or beef.

What foods would I really miss if I had to go without a trip to the supermarket for a year or longer? I would really, really miss fresh green salads. Yes, I can sprout wheat, I have freeze-dried veggies in my food storage and I have some outdoor container gardens, but most of the year it is just too hot here in the Mojave Desert for enough time to grow lettuce, cabbage, celery and cucumbers. I can grow kale, but kale salads topped with wheat shoots are not quite the same as salads made from different types of leaf lettuce and shredded cabbage. I do have freeze-dried broccoli and raisins in my food storage so I could probably make a version of Joan's broccoli salad and use stevia in place of the sugar in the sweet dressing. I also love low-carb Keto ice cream bars and there is no food storage alternative for such a treat. I would just have to settle for making a milk shake type beverage of powdered non-fat milk, slushy ice, stevia and some kind of low-carb flavored syrup. On the upside, I do have freeze-dried avocadoes, onions, and diced tomatoes, dried cilantro and masa flour, so I could make my own salsa, guacamole, corn tortillas and corn chips. And with the addition of my stored rice, dried beans, tomato powder, ground beef, pepper jack cheese, dehydrated pickles jalapeño slices and dehydrated hominy, there are a lot of Mexican style dishes I can make. If I have to live without green salads and Keto ice cream bars, I can do so, especially if I can still have my favorite spicy Mexican dishes.

One of the things I worry about is being able to get fresh vegetables in a long term situation. Yes, I have a plot in the community garden that has produced an amazing amount of produce that we used in meal making at home. However, my friends & I (local & online) have a January challenge to grow something indoors: a jar of bean sprouts or broccoli sprouts or radish sprouts or green onions from kitchen scraps or celery or whatever. My first attempt at green onions from the scrap end with roots was a total failure (probably because I use more of the bulb than anyone else in group since green onions have the lowest amount of sugar in them than any other onion). So I’ll have to try some more next week. Meanwhile, I’m moving on to monk bean sprouts & broccoli bean sprouts in some jars with screens on top to drain. If this works out, how would you suggest storing seeds for sprouting? In mason jars in a dark place?

Freeze dried eggs went from $64 to $96/can overnight on 1/18/23. Augason Farms, 72 serving can, on Amazon. That's $1.33 per 2.5 Tbsp serving (roughly one egg). Eggs would have to get to $16 a dozen before break even.

I can't thank you enough for the informative and practical videos over the years.

[@hoosiermama16]

you should do what i do - when it's easter time, really ***REALLY*** hide your eggs filled with chocolate well...that way, you totally forget where they are...so when you find a random egg in September while you're cleaning or organizing or whatever, you're surprised with a chocolate filled egg 🤣🤣🤣 My Top 10 List is 1) dairy - milk especially, cheese especially, butter especially, cream cheese, eggs, yogurt, almond milk, coconut milk 2) meat - beef, chicken, pork, fish 3) frozen/canned/fresh/dried fruit and vegetables - I love the pepper and onion blends, the stir fry blends, the broccoli blends, frozen berries, canned potatoes are great in soups and stews 4) baking goods - white flour - I don't really care for whole wheat flour, so AP flour, salt, sugars, baking powder and soda, cocoa powder - there's so much you can make with those things 5) spices & condiments- all of them but especially salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, cumin, coriander, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, A-1, bouillion powders, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, mustard powder, honey mustard, ketchup, mayo, teriyaki sauce 6) Nuts & Seeds - peanut butter, sunflower seeds, pecans, walnuts, peanuts 7) Pasta - all shapes/styles 8) Chips and Crackers - crunchy & salty things are my guilty pleasure 9) Frozen food my son will eat - my kiddo has sensory issues and really loves store bought chicken nuggets & mini frozen pizzas 10) Sweets - I'd have a stash of all our favorite candies and cookies (I'm a sucker for the Keebler Fudge cookies lol)

[@stevenschnepp576]

Have you made homemade pizzas for the kidlet? The ingredients aren't hard to produce, which might make for more long-term sustainability than relying on storebought frozen.

Green beans canned from the garden Fermented with dill and garlic Mature green beans can be dried, shelled, stored dry or canned. I put 1/4 of jar beans, fill with water, salt or flavorings, or a little cured ham and pressure can for one hour. Super good as soup base, heated to eat as is or or with dumplings.

When I reach a point when " I need a shot of whiskey " ( I have never used any acholic beverages) a good tablespoon of chocolate syrup is my go to,

Great content, informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

Hi! Newbi here ,from Wisconsin..thank you for you content 🥰

[@kristinb5121]

I’ve used garbanzo bean flour, purchased already ground. I’m curious about your comment about an impact grinder. I couldn’t find information on Google. Can you provide a link to an impact grinder so I can compare versus a grain mill?

[@ulmersapiens]

How about Einkorn for the wheat allergy? Supposedly, people with gluten sensitivity can handle the proteins in it. I’ve seen Einkorn for sale where other grains are sold in bulk for “reasonable” prices.

WHEN FILLING WATER CONTAINERS SHOULD WE USE TAP WATER OR SHOULD WE FILTER IT FIRST? I LIVE IN A MORE DESERT ENVIRON SO FOR ME I THINK WATER IS PRIORITY 1 OVER THESE FOOD ITEMS. THANK YOU GUYS

Meat is #1 for me; I'm now on a low carb diet since being diagnosed with diabetes last February. I don't want to be on any meds.

[@leonieduplessis4467]

Listen to the physician committee for diabetes

[@kirchfam]

@@TheProvidentPrepper My Hb/A1C went back to pre-diabetes barely; six months after being diagnosed as diabetic. It's hard sometimes to follow a low carb diet, sometimes not. I lost just about 40 lbs. since last February! I recently told my husband that I saw where you should eat 300 carbs daily! I personally think 70 is the highest I should go, but I don';t, and when I started this low carb diet, I was eating 50 grams daily. My M.D. said to keep doing what I'm doing. So, actually: 1. eggs for breakfast every day, 2. meat, 3. vegetables. No fruit except for lemon juice in my water at breakfast. 4. Some starch once or twice a day.

That’s awesome about making yogurt with powdered milk! I can’t wait to see this video! 💗

[@shermdog6969]

Remember that if your stored oils go rancid you can still use them to make soap.

[@juliabrown5948]

Great idea! Is rancid oil obvious? Does it make one sick or just taste horrible? Thank you!

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

...or as fuel in candle lamps!

[@fabricdragon]

@The Provident Prepper yes, the smell reduces drastically when you make soap. The saponification process really does help. That said While MAKING the soap, you sure will smell it.

[@elsamayoral2802]

Can you use rancid lard to make soaps?

[@gracedisman9312]

Would love to find out how to make soap with your oil. My husband said to save for starting fires.

[@LaCroixCreative]

As someone with Type 2 diabetes who sticks to a diet that's very low in sugar and carbohydrates (virtually no added sugar), if I'd hope to stay off insulin or medications in the case of a SHTF event (since meds might be in short supply), meat and fat are going to be more important for me to store than pure sugar. Not to say I wouldn't keep some... It might, in fact, be a good bargaining chip to use to exchange for other things, especially since it really doesn't go bad.

[@dropshot1967]

Make ghee from butter and it can store a long time (years).

[@rosezingleman5007]

Kyleen (sp?) I am like you with regards to wheat. I was told I was non-celiac gluten sensitive but my youngest son is a pastry chef and he uses only organic “non enriched” flour and leavened with either aluminum-free baking powder or sourdough starter. And what do you know? He was right. I still limit how much I indulge, but it was a breakthrough.

[@Dan-bj1cz]

Great video. Where did you buy those food storage buckets

[@MrJasonwoodrow]

Do roasted nuts like almonds go bad as quickly as raw? I think you said 3-5 years. I've been making tamari flavored almonds in the oven (about 4 coatings). Delish! I never thought of vacuum sealing them before.

[@crystalcarpenter6738]

This was great. Gave me lots of "Food for thought" 😆

Try sliced apples with peanut butter. mmmm good.

[@theimperfectpantry5936]

Great video. Never underestimate the importance of chocolate. I’m really looking forward to the yogurt from powdered milk.

[@atomicredhead]

I love that you can do all of this but most of us don’t have a freeze drier to make all the nice fruits And to buy them are so expensive

[@TheProvidentPrepper]

Try dehydrating. I've even dehydrated food in my vehicle :)

[@carolgreen1822]

Great video. I have a question. I plan to buy several extra bags of flour for my pantry. I want to store it either in mylar or just place the unopened bags in a sealable bucket. Is placing several unopened bags of flour together in a food storage bucket OK? I know I can dump the flour out in the bucket. Is it OK to store multiple unopened bags together in a bucket - with one or several oxygen absorbers. Thanks for any info.

[@nancybrewer8494]

Put the bags of flour in the freezer for 48 hours. When you put them in the bucket, let come to room temperature first and add bay leaves to the bucket. I have not had weevils for over 35 years.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

I keep my coconut oil and peanut butter in the freezer. We dont go through it very fast so this extends the life by years.

[@wannellalawson4001]

Is the video out for homemade yogurt? I was going thru my buckets. I noticed I had vacuum seal some beans. My expiration date was years 2021 and 2022. Are they safe to eat. Since your guys are so informative I decided to ask your. Thanks

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

With diabetes i cant use those sweeteners so i try to keep stevia around. Many of the goods we have stored i cant eat much of any more so we dont rotate them as well as we used to.
