[@GraceFilled]

I AM IN TEARS!!! I CANT SAY HOW AMAZING THIS IS RIGHT NOW AND FREE!! you have touched my life so much right now ~Kristy Hawkins

[@patsyrhodes6342]

Oh my goodness ❣️ I wish I could found your channel when you first began recording ♥️♥️♥️♥️ better late than never♥️♥️ Again, Thank You Sweetheart ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@masunshine2970]

I thought I was the only one who had a binder like that. I have 2 of that same size. Awesome.

[@tcctocrazytccarson7309]

I have been watching all your videos with the commercials to help increase your income. Did you ever think that 6yrs after posted this video that you would still be helping people get prepared like they should, especially after this crazy last year. I'm loving what I see. My prayers are with you and your sweet family and THANK YOU! ♡♡♡

[@anndennis7163]

I count every person in our family as an adult so we have a little extra in case we end up with a friend or two in a disaster.

[@dinasyoyos6384]

That's a great idea

[@florenceburwell6746]

Praying for you and your family. I hope you are inspired by all of us that want to be able to help. We have loved to come and listen to you and learn about baking and canning. You have a way to teach it to us that makes it easy to stay right with you with every step. I miss your smile and you can make me laugh. Please come back to us as soon as your able. We want to root you on with love. Sincerely, Florence Burwell

[@deannastevens1217]

WONDERFUL!!! I have Watched Wendy DeWitt more than once. I Love her presentation.

[@sandrag7202]

Suggestion - If anyone is in the same situation -storage shelving- you are showing here: You can put up a sun block curtains around it. leaving opening at the bottom of the shelf and at the top of the shelf, so you use 'Command Strips' to velcro the sudo curtains to keep the light out but still air can circulate around. I did this in my condo :)

[@primrozie]

Praying for you all Heather

[@lindarussell9379]

Love your green walls!

[@susanplouff7412]

I thought I had seen all your videos. Apparently not! I have my own notebook, but looks like I need to tweak it! Continue to heal Heather. We are all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!

[@reeree6036]

I've kept my favorite recipes in one binder. We are all keeping you in our hearts.

[@alexism4680]

DEAR HEATHER, TU 4 This Org. Video. It Will Help Me Immensely... 😊💜 WE R ALL HERE 4 YALL. 😊💜 UR ALL IN OUR DAILY THOUGHTS N 🙏s ... 🙏😊TRULY, 🌻HS FRIENDS🌻

[@PreppingAngel]

Great info. I store the bleach cubes from Walmart. They now sell them in small containers for laundry but I buy the 50lb case in the pool section. Dry bleach is easier to store than liquid. :)

[@deannastevens1217]

Excellent. Do they average the same when creating a liquid bleach. I have considered this... but not looked into it. Thank you for any information. :)

[@judylynn2744]

Oh my goodness!!!! You could make millions on mass producing your binder!!! I want one! What a brilliant idea! especially the frying and candy notes - dang!!! That Wendy Dewitt thing is so very very informative - I just spent an hour watching it and then another hour on her blog - thanks for sharing - she has everything I need. Thank you so much for doing this video!

[@karongoodine3288]

You have amazing organization skills. How you do it all with your health issues is even more amazing. I watched your Shakeology youtube. I ordered the kit. I have a lot of health issues that just drain my energy and make me I'll days on end when I over do it on days I feel good. You inspired me to go for it. I'm praying for you and your family. You all are in my thoughts everyday. It breaks my heart you and your family suffered a horrible tragicty. I pray and hope you and your children can get passed losing your sweet husband Matt.

[@bettypierce8050]

Wonderful idea!

[@TheLeisamarie]

This needs a revisit video. So much helpful information given this past year and this week polar vortex

[@janpresley3804]

Great binder with a lot of important information! Prayers to you and your family 🙏🙏🌻🌻❤️

[@lindalagarce8996]

Thank you for the links, saves me a lot of time and research! Continued prayers for your sweet family.

[@sheenashine17]

Seriously, you are my new hero!! I HAVE to make a binder now. We have a canning shelf too, but it's not quite as big. We're trying to get more organized with what we need to process from the garden, because we had a lot of garden waste last year. Although we did have a baby last year, so I'll cut us a little slack. So glad I found your channel!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

so glad i found yours!!!!! we can figure all of this out together! HAHAHAHA it can feel overwhelming at times, but so rewarding when things work out! :D CONGRATS on the new baby. We have 7, so I know all too well how BUSY you must have been last year. Slack is definitely well deserved! LOL

[@debbiesink2200]

Happy Acres .

[@nurserobbi781]

Heather. You are amazing. I know things seem rocky right now but you are a strong warrior woman and you will be OK. My continuing prayers and support to you and your family.

[@barbaravickroy7563]

Thanks to all of your loving friends, l discovered you in comments on another channel. Sending love and prayers and am totally enjoying your videos! For so new into your video-making experience, this video shows you are a natural communicator. ln a way you remind me of my favorite quilter - always repeating essentials. Anyway, dear girl, Roman 8:28 love from the Ozarks.

[@deannastevens1217]

I Love the LDS for information on preparing for outages and being able to survive at the top of the list I Love their book.. bought it. and now to get Wendy DeWitte. for her storage blogs and cycling things in and out. Her presentation is incredible and EXCELLENT information. Your video is Awesome.

[@denisewilson8367]

Nice way to keep track of what you need & what you have. I just keep track in my head. And started prepping again in Jan 2021. Everything I had before & my fancy containers were stolen when I was robbed while I was gone dealing with my baby brother & my mothers estates. So starting over, again. Thanks for the help.

[@debbielee7117]

I pray for you all daily. God bless you! I also watch at least one video, like, and comment. It doesn’t seem like much, but I hope it adds up.

[@kathleenengland2548]

Praying for you and all of your family.

[@margiestraka7513]

All I can say is. WELL DONE. Great video. Great information. Keep going what you do is wonderful. Keeping you in my prayers.

[@donettemiller7817]

🙏🙏🙏 for you & family continuously 💜💜💜

[@athomewithsherry7250]

I'm re-watching this and can't thank you enough for all the work that you did and then for sharing this with everyone! With the hurricanes that have just hit Texas and Florida it makes you realize how much you should be prepared!

[@brendahere]

with your first page, I would put dates when the item goes on sale or is easy to get. For instance if you might be able to find a bee keeper to get honey on the bees schedule not yours. You might be waiting for things come in season too.

[@Editbyhelen]

This was a valuable video! Starting my binder, thanks! Hope you're feeling better

[@sharlaleonard]

You should do an updated video on this! These types of videos are content you can do with your limitations now and with things the way they are now this is important!! ❤ prayers

[@cookingwithmrs.carmob1393]

Hi Heather hope you are recovering well. Still praying for you and your family.

[@MsAngel7268]

This was SO helpful, thank you for posting the links so we can download these printables for our own use too! I'm fairly new to prepping and I haven't come across anything that is so detailed like the stuff in your binder. I'll be busy tomorrow printing these pages off and starting my own binder. I have several coil bound note books, but I like the binder idea better. It can get overwhelming at times, with all the new stuff I've been learning and a weekly check list (somethings on the lists I hadn't even thought of!) of things to do/get takes away a lot of the panic, LOL. I learned how to can last fall and I was looking online all day today at videos of new things to try when I came across several of your videos (apple/pear syrup, making your own brown sugar--oh, and the video of your pantry was awesome and inspiring!) and I had to subscribe to your channel. You're so down to earth and easy to learn from, thank you for all that you do, for sharing this with us all. Love and Prayers From Canada! :D

[@joinmeinthedirt5186]

These were the OG Days, you have taught me alot. 💜

[@fayelittlehales2406]

You are a blessing, thank you for all your hard work it really helps when you are just starting out.

[@cindygreen6900]

what a fantastic idea 💡. For me it's a matter of making myself stop and put my recipes on paper and collecting the items

[@Debtfreeby43]

I love watching how far you've come! We prep for job loss, as that has seemed to happen quite a few times for us! And if I didn't have food storage, we would have possibly lost our house or car, just to buy food. I am not allowed to add things to the food storage as of right now, as we are closing on a house on Friday and hubby doesn't want to move all that food! We have been eating it down and it's making me very worried!!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

ugh. i am so sorry to hear. yes, definite hard times amongst us all is reason enuf to prepare and have a stock! :( CONGRATS on your move! :D xoxo

[@d.r.moundshroud818]

I love that I am not the only one with an out there canning shelf! Display it proudly! I added cloth around the sides and front of mine. I just used little rings (small binder looking things) and made a kind of curtain system. The sides are solid and hooked top and bottom, the front is two panels. Kind of like the free standing waredrobes. I have thick, neutral toned, utility fabric most of the time, but I can easily change it out when I get bored. I can't wait to see yours all bilt-in and professional!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

that is way too cool! brilliant!!!!! :D

[@colleenpritchett6914]

Great on the binder...may I make a suggestion? The sleeves you are using will not protect the paper from air and deterioration. What you need to do is get a laminator and laminate them, then they will never deteriorate .

[@deliaramirez6044]

Wow! Very informative . I've been canning forever. And we have a working pantry. However, the meal idea was a great idea. Thank you for a great video

[@hairworks8864]

Here for you and your family!

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Will you update to 2020. Binder still in use (I've got multiple binders now).

[@donnahacker1699]

Yes, please update.

[@memoryize]

Love your channel! I would be interested in knowing if you have updated some of the recipes in this binder now that you have mostly removed sugar and carbs from your diet.

[@sheterry6188]

I have my binder ready to set up. Thank you for the inspiration. Sending love, hugs and prayers.

[@eyes2see438]

Wow! This is absolutely amazing how organized you are, even in the very beginning. Have you updated your binders?

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

it's an ongoing labor of love! lol

[@bcrafty12]

we have a few home binders as if all the info put in one binder is just so big to pick up lol. I love this play list. I love Wendy DeWitt's food storage info. thank you for all the hard work. inspires me to do even more. in depth on any of your preps. we love lots of info. thanks

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

thanks for watchin Mama!!!!! And good on you for being so prepared!!!

[@sandyallday7331]

Wow! Now that is Amazing and organized. You have the talents of a business woman 😀 seriously. I have a little recipe box that I have had for years. Stuffed with my favorite recipes and not so favorite..lol 💜

[@deborahblaylock4179]

I wish you had a PDF FILE TO DOWNLOAD. YOUR INFORMATION IS AWESOME. THANK YOU

[@michelechele2744]

She linked to it you can download it

[@whackpackadventures]

thanks for sharing. having had our shtf already I have made some changes to our homestead and now I must make my binder. I had one for all important paperwork when the tornado threw 11 trees on the house and it was a huge help. we had all insurance and mortgage papers we needed in there and I would not have known where to start without it. at the time the binder was on the table and we could reach it from the window. I cant wait to go to the links you have and get the other info that would have helped in the year we were living in a camper while we rebuilt.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

oh nice!!!!!! i might need to add those important documents to mine now! thanks sister-friend! :D

[@kd9299]

Another amazing video Heather! I’m going to get started on mine this weekend. I’m also going to take the time to read through the comments because I can see there are some great ideas in there!

[@deborhasmith7746]

Love, Love, Love this video. I have been wanted to do this for so long, but got over whelmed before I ever got started. Thank you so much for all you put into your videos. I will cherish this video forever. ty,ty,ty!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

WOOHOO!!!! so happy this helped you, Deb!!!!! best wishes on putting yours together. get a big binder. it will grow fast! hahaha

[@christygangwer4732]

This is our first year of homesteading, and yes--I have created a binder. It is a great idea to pass down a book to the kids. My oldest one is already asking me to copy down some of my things for him.... I am also keeping information about our ducks and chickens in this book, so it will have its own section.

[@justnana2256]

Great idea.

[@bettypierce8050]

Thank you, Heather.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

You are so welcome! There it is! The old videos 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I thought I still had them up!🥰

[@isabelcastela7153]

Thank you for your help. I am also a binder and list person. Helps me to put things in perspective and kip my mind organized. Love all your videos💖

[@raenathedford4605]

Thank you for your help and taking time out of your day to help others.

[@kingsheavenlygifts]

Linda's pantry sent me, I love your informative videos. lovely to meet you...I would love the Amish canning book, if picked to win. look forward to learning more from your channel.

[@Okielady]

These are the best links! I printed them all & now starting my own binder. Thank you :) Blessings 🙏

[@sweetjaybaby]

🌹 This is great information! I would be interested if you have an updated version ♥️

[@anneallen9804]

this was fantastic... I've always have had things on hand ,but this what I've wanted to do. thank you so much .Love all your videos so helpful..

[@tonyarensch7411]

I want to once again thank you so much for your canning videos. It has helped so much. I am confident in canning now.. and Ironically it is very destressing in its own way.. Merry Christmas and prayers and blessings for your family.

[@mandyhanson9827]

Wow. Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been looking for a way to organize everything and this system works wonders. Can't wait to implement this system and get us organized.

[@tammynevil2422]

I love this smart idea.

[@debora3377]

I'm starting my own binder too. Thank you so much for sharing. Good planning.

[@Maddleyable]

Thanks so much Mama! I have been thinking about writing my recipes down for awhile now, but I really need to get them down on paper. My Dad scanned my Mom's cook book for my sister and I, and I want my boys to have mine. Plus,. we've been working on an emergency kit, but it's so overwhelming. This is so helpful! Thank you again for sharing!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

you are so welcome

[@lynlyn4539]

A great idea about the index cards. Thanks for the tip.

[@missy_riley]

I would love to see a revisit on this and see what your binder looks like now.

[@kaylafontaine7375]

Oh my goodness making a binder now .. Genius status ! I've never canned my grandparents are huge canners and we plan on a huge garden this year so I got a pressure canner for Christmas I'm so excited to try it out and terrified lol

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

HAHAHA i was terrified the first time too. I made my husband sit in the kitchen with me the entire time. HAHAHA You will LOVE it!!!!!! I am addicted!

[@elkacarroll1875]

HI, concerning binders, I was at Goodwill & found two 3" binders, priced at .99. Wow ~ what a bargain! :) I got them & didn't use right away BUT I do think the homestead binder is a great way to utilize this. I've also recently seen the hour long video of Wendy DeWitt talking about food storage. You've both inspired me to get started doing this. I like that you break it down into more 'manageable & down-to-earth' way... so it's less intimidating to us, newbies... thanks for the great videos & I'll be sure to check them out!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

+Elka Carroll WOW!!!!!! You hit the jackpot there, Elka!!!!! I love Wendy, I have learned so much from her and I now see things so differently! If you ever need any help, give me a holler! The bigger our support circle the better!

[@deannastevens1217]

+Elka Carroll Also check stores after School starts for CLEARANCE. I found an excellent Nylong covered, zippered, binder with handle and carrying strap for $5. plus a few inserts to help keep organized. and I LOVE IT. My honey sprayed it with Obenauf's sealer/waterproofer (Just in case). and you can put so much in it and a couple would be portable, weatherResistant, strong, and can carry so many recipes and your storage logs. Just a thought.... School supplies on clearance.. a good thing.

[@diannevans407]

I am so glad you shared this binder! Great information, love the way you have it organized and thanks for all the links! BTW I am on day 7 with my sourdough starter, hope to make bread and pizza dough tomorrow!!! Thanks for the encouragement and sharing Audrey!!! Hugs Diann

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

that is so exciting! please let me know how it turns out! WOOHOO! :D

[@jilldecker573]

I too have a recipe binder, which reminds me that I need to organize better! Pioneer Woman's pie crust recipe was also a huge fail for me, I wonder if it's not written correctly?? I watched your pie crust video last night and it's awesome. I also made your Apple bread, so good I can't keep it in my house because I can't stay out of it🙄

[@JosyJo14]

Hey there Beautiful, just a thought with your shelf unit in the spare room,you could have a curtain around your shelf unit to darken your shelf unit.... just a thought, cheers Jo from Oz

[@sylviavanhoy7504]

Love your ideas for the book!👍👍💜

[@sarahale7214]

I love binders!

[@allisonsnz]

Thank you!

[@joannfortune1482]

i loved your presentation. Thank you. Will you share what a master list looks like when you done.

[@primc9117]

I absolutely love this...thank you so much esp for the links, they are great. My mom use to do something similar not to this extent but had a pantry of several bags of everything she did this from back home ( the caribbean ) where she would prepare in case there was a hurricane ( shelves in market ran bare quickly) and she'd have enough for the older members of our family who would stay with us if a hurricane came through. I keep a bit but never really knew how much of what, this will be of tremendous help!

[@orlandl.blanchard5423]

Continuing to watch your playlist. 😀

[@ptquilter48]

Just wanted to say What a wonderful Source of Info You are... Thanks so much

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

awww thanks Lynda!!!!!

[@zgadams1981]

I had to come back to find this. I am so glad I did. Everything in Wendy's video is here. Thanks for posting this. Now to get myself organized

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Zina Adams thanks for refinding me! :D this book is my lifeline! haha

[@skybirdbird]

you are so organized!.... buy a sharpie permanent marker... you can write on the lids... comes off with alcohol... and you can write on the boxes also... great links and resources... tkx... i've been at this for years and i still don't think i have enough for a year... this may help... but i always feel i would rather use my limited energy for actual canning or whatever... if nothing else this may help the fam get on board a bit... ((hugs))

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

with so many kids, i guess staying organized is the only way to keep my sanity. LOL

[@teeser2436]

Very helpful.Thank you ❤️❤️🙏🏻

[@RicciOlson]

Wow thanks for the info! These are all really great resources! I don't consider myself a prepper, but I do like to have some food storage in my home. I live in an area were basically there is one main freeway in and out. Well a few years back we were hit with a snow storm that no one was prepared for or expecting. The freeway was shut down for 36 hours, people couldn't get home and the roads were a mess for a week! We tried to venture out to get groceries, and the store that we went to was out of just about everything fresh because their truck was stuck in a second freeway shut down. It was awful! Luckily we learned our lesson, and now have emergency kits in the cars and always have lots of beans and rice on hand! =)

[@jjo5375]

Thank you! God bless your nurturing efforts for your family. A thought to consider: Have specific binders so your Master binder doesn't keep becoming crowded. Example: one only recipes, one only Inventory matters, and so on. : )

[@honestyfaithful]

Thank you for sharing,including the links below.... have a blessed day 😊

[@joyzeph317]

Loved hearing the canning jar go “plink” in background LOL

[@krisqueen5939]

Keep getting better🌷

[@dianabelaire7680]

What an awesome idea!

[@ldeez1682]

You are awesome exactly I have been racking my brain how to get started and you make it seem so much organized thanks for sharing

[@spartacus3015]

Really appreciate this. Thank you for the links to help us. ❤

[@LindaFoyle]

Bless you 🙏💕

[@mrs8792]

So glad I came across this. I've been working on one as well and was curious if anyone had put one together and how they liked to organize it.

[@jocelyngaul2486]

Thanks so much. I've been working on my own binder and this has given me a lot of great ideas.

[@marciawilhite5381]

Love the shelf.

[@tracyp7660]

Super great idea to have it all printed off and in one place! You can't Google stuff during a power outage hahaha I'm totally making one of these!! Thank you from a fellow Michigander :)

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

YEAH! Even if i think..... oh i know how to make that!.... i still add it to my binder because you wont have any access if the power is out to just google it. hahaha I try to remind myself of that! Stay warm, Mama.... looks like we might miss this Northeaster! Thank goodness!

[@rapidfallsfarm]

What a great idea! I have similar things saved on my phone like on Pinterest for example ... But if power goes out I won't be able to access that info ! So thanks for sharing. Why didn't I think of a binder? Lol! I am going to get started on making myself a binder ASAP :-)

[@jengoods2246]

Such great information, I'm a newbie and now need to do an inventory, I have so much stuff wildly nilly, need to get organised

[@deannastevens1217]

Great amount of stock. and canning is ADDICTIVE! I Love it! GREAT VIDEO. I should be more detailed.
