My Survival Food Pantry

[@chick-fil-a4290]

Just a tip.. I've began refilling my laundry detergent containers with water. This water could be used for washing, so you are not taking away from your drinking water stash.

[@TrishTheDish765]

good idea!!!! I am now going to do that! Thanks.

[@efzapp7]

I agree, great idea. I've been wondering what to do with the containers. I hate to discard them. (I do recycle but I prefer to re-use.)

[@knowthyself5732]

I'm starting this great idea

[@marcymaybe4652]

thanks for the tip

[@katoucha007]

Great idea. Thanks

[@danaclark1304]

Nicely done. Brilliant in its simplicity. This is something I should have done years ago. Thanks for sharing

[@peterpan7281]

include a variety of spices as well. comes in handy when with pasta and rice dishes as well as cooking different meats.

[@simonh6371]

I have about 6 months worth anyway in my regular cupboard as I cook a lot of different Asian foods (Indonesian, Indian, Thai etc.) so litres of different soy sauces, different curry powders, sesame oil and so on. Also I cook a lot of Mediterranean so I always have plenty of olive oil, herbs and other ingredients too.

[@thecrazylifeandtimesofacra2629]

oh my yes spices are the best they make or break any meal!!

[@fantasyreflection]

Where's the supply of candles. Set a candle inside a large pot, place a coat hanger on the pot. Place an aluminum pie pan on the hanger, add 1/2" of water and place another pie pan bottom up. Water will boil in less than a minute.

[@melmic7107]

Noahs Ark Good to know. Thanks

[@replaydoa4804]

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to learn about long lasting food for survival try Franaar Spies Control Formula (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.

[@tadjuba4365]

Great video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Franaar Spies Control Formula (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning how to make the ultimate survival food minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical results with it.

[@KM-nq7ez]

Noahs Ark great information

[@rockymountainprepper9724]

Thank you for sharing. I must say awesome. If I may offer one thing I learned from our power being out for 5 day do to a wind storm. A Porto potty or I picked up a fishermen Lou cheap and a big pack of glad bags just because no power means no water. Loved the video thanks again

[@davemcavene]

I'm sure you have updated since this video but you can make your own dehydrated meals that can be vacuum sealed for pennies compared to dollars. Great stash though. I just started slowly putting a few extra items in the shopping cart each trip and have built up a couple months supply in a short amount of time. My next big focus is water because you can never have enough if it.

[@LisaAnn164]

Don't forget kitty litter for the toilet. Once the plumbing goes out the toilet will not be able to flush. Just line your toilet with a large black hefty garbage bag; then pour kitty litter inside of it to absorb the waste.

[@TheCondor300]

Nice stash for a couple months supply, Get yourself a Berkey water filter... you can take any water and in minutes have perfect water to drink.

[@EarlyMist]

This storage of food is well thought out. It has been weighing on my mind the last couple of months and my friends and I have been looking toward Costco and Supermarket specials to make it as $ effective as possible I do grow my own Spinach, Zucchini, Pumpkin, Tomato, herbs etc but need to essentially replicate your setup inside ( since it falls in line with 90% of the smaller short term storage vids I've seen on utube over the last few yrs). The butane stove is a great asset. Watching your vid reminds of and inspires the thought "I will feel far more at ease day to day knowing I have a good supply of everything we need for a 'situation' should the need arise". At present I have everything apart from food sorted out. Water needs a bit more work but mostly complete for peace of mind, have a coupla hundred litres and multiple hardcore filters stored etc. I would and have add some Veg that store well like Pumpkin, Onions, Potato and Sweet potato, dry lentils and beans, Ta for the inspiration Sir.

[@drcstudios]

thank you, kind sir, for your thoughtful words. much appreciate your support.

[@azriazrin1083]

[@felixzeto6300]

jar the vegetables with vinegar and sugar

[@electropalsceo]

It doesn't go on and on, but it is a great start, nice variety . Great job. Thank you for sharing.

[@cherylT321]

I like the way you are so prepared, for someone living in an apartment with limited space. It would be interesting to see what it looks like now, so many years later!

[@primrozie]

You'ved squeezed a lot of food in a small space! When I was watching your video, the idea came to mind that you could stretch out the soup (and I will too) by adding some elbow macaroni or ramen noodles. I'm telling everyone about my mylar meals that I've been packing up. I'm so pleased with them. Using the meal in a jar recipes that some youtuber's have out or google Chef Tess for her recipes. I use quart size ziplock mylars. For 2 large servings each meal pack I can fit 22 meals in a 3-1/2 gallon bucket and it is light. Of course, you will need water to re-hydrate and cook them. We even eat eat them now, they're good!

[@ceciliacarney7909]

primrozie - - rice is also a good soup filler.

[@simonh6371]

Those soups like mushroom, tomatoe etc are useless, just good as a starter or light lunch if eaten with bread etc, they only have around 80 cal per tin and next to no nutrients, only actually containing max. 10% of the mushroom/tomato or whatever, the rest is just water and thickeners / flavouring. Better go for more substantial soups with lentils, beans etc and some meat content, thick pea soup is a good one, or with loads of nutritional value like borscht which I get cheap in bags, not tins, in a local Polish shop, together with stroganov and goulash soups, which pack a bigger punch. But maybe you can't get that in the US.

[@nature1960]

dried beans are really cheap ,good protein,this is a good start. You can also store food under your bed ,I would definitely look into something to purify water . Most people will get on you about your choices of ravioli ect. But i feel you should buy what you eat . Best wishes

[@thecrazylifeandtimesofacra2629]

for water i bought a berkey i think all should look into some sort of filtration system your bottles will eventually run out

[@MsRegina333]

I have bought food and some supplies in case of difficult times but I am no way as organized as you! Great job! I have to get organized! I find that food does not get rotated and goes bad. What a waist of money! Thank you for sharing your ideas and organization... I see it helps to have it in such a way that you can have eyes on everything. Peace

[@ceciliacarney7909]

We're just getting started so thanks for the info. Blessings to you and yours when "stuff" goes down.

[@shadowmatrix01011]

Might I suggest adding more dairy products? I didn't see any fortified powdered milk or powdered eggs on your shelf and those are excellent forms of protein and vitamins.

[@mingsong]

Rose C yeah. Powdered milk or canned milk.

[@AnnaGartinFrugalliving]

Looks good though I would have everything in jars, tins, glasses of some kind.. you get rodents your supply is damaged. I buy in the thrift stores, yard sales.. popcorn tins, cookie tins, any kind of tin I can find to store dry goods in.

[@ms.hotdoglegs614]

I agree to stock up on food. It comes in handy when your grocery fund is nonexistent for the month, you can raid your stockpile a bit to circulate the items. I'd suggest adding canned juice like tomato, pineapple and some hard candies. great pick-me-ups.

[@ppger44]

You may want to add spices to the storage to keep the foods from getting boring. Dollar stores sell them cheap.

[@rustyshackleford6533]

toilet paper and lots of it

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

You can store more baby wipes or those expanding wipe tablets than those big, bulky toilet paper rolls. And they can be used for a lot more things, too.

[@icedcoffee6461]

​@@adrianchavez5085 ok now y'all come crawling to me when i was right

[@LadySheWolfWitch]

I was in the same hurricane. Our power was out almost a month. Good to be prepared.

[@pspcraft]

Good video... a lot of us are still trying to get prepared... not so easy on a limited budget.

[@markneeley501]

To any one stocking candles please make sure you have heavy candle holders! There is always a large number of house fires during power outages! Evav a small mason jar wiyld help! Never assume you have enough water. When you titlted your 5gal water jug it appeared empty. Great video. Keep yp the good work!

[@scottc8459]

Batteries, flashlight, solar charger, first aid, gun Cleaning stuff, blankets, a stash of cash. Lots more water. Water filter, more propane. You have a good start there.

[@kitkat-dp8ec]

I think you did terrific im trying to see how to do this in an apt too.good variety.ty

[@yellowbird5411]

For those who don't have a closet or pantry, a garage or other space for storage, it helps to find different smaller spaces where things can be stored, such as under the bathroom sink, under the kitchen sink, in an unused drawer or two in the kitchen, or a cupboard space. Also, under the bed in an under-the-bed storage bin designed for it, or even the attic if it's easily accessed. If you can, you can also store things outside the home against the house in a storage cabinet, or even in the ground in a sealed storage bin. Easily mounted wire or wood racks can go high in the closet, or anywhere in the house that is convenient. If you can locate 4 or 5 small areas, you can stock tons of food.

[@tests5692]

Nice video I'm looking forward to getting my preps together I'm just up against money lol

[@VeronicaGest72]

+TEST S I feel ya. I am going to be on the look out for the buy one get one free items for sure. Just started prepping myself. Good luck to ya :)

[@melvincrabsocks8015]

Rows and rows of it.... 3 rows.

[@cindyhowison7553]

Melvin Crabsocks I got tooooooothhhppaaaaaasste lol

[@ceceblooms8666]

That's alot

[@michaeldixon5059]

I have boxes filled bins filled with can foods because push co.e to shove you can drink the water from cans and have a portable grill with aluminim foil that keep things from burning upon the heat. I like propel waters and keep several pedilytes on hand and good can openers handy.

[@kellysheridan4064]

Don't forget snacks ! They are actually soothing and I found with the covid quarantine that I greatly underestimated my supply of snacks. Healthy and not so much ! More water .. we need at least a gallon a day. Paper plates and bowls. Trash bags ! You will want more breakfast stuff too . So much to think about but it's important that we all do !

[@heathercombs8170]

Either you have a very good paying job, or you get food stamps. Which no hate in food stamps because I get food stamps. Very cool video, you are definitely prepared!

[@SilverBrumbyMommy]

The canned foods are a great idea for when the power's out! Their serving sizes are just right for when you need a quick meal. I hate opening canned ham though! Got some cuts to prove it LOL And I wonder if you could get a inside generator for inside your apartment for when the power goes out? Don't know if those exist but now I'm curious XD Great video for survival ideas! Thank you!

[@jang.2133]

Minute Rice needs minimal cooking time and can stretch out soups and such a lot. Hormel makes a decent smoked ham in small cans that can again add flavor and nutrition to, say, canned beans and minute rice and perhaps some soup. Campbell's chunky soups and such.

[@SeaBeagal]

Good stuff. Mine is alike just bigger cause I have a wife and 2 girls! Be safe out there man.

[@justsayin6602]

Instant coffee. Instant tea. You can try Dollar Tree instant coffee for trading if you need things others might have in SHTF scenarios. Dollar Tree sells herbs, too. Herbs for flavoring your own food, or for trade. Under the bathroom sink, use empty laundry detergent bottles stored there for flushing the toilet. Store toilet paper, too, and a first aid kit.

[@simonh6371]

I like my coffee too much to have to resort to instant even in an SHTF scenario, and always buy beans anyway, so I have an extra kilo (plus the 2 or 3 225g bags I always have anyway) stashed, it has a much longer shelf life (like 2 years, which I think is the same as instant or maybe even more) than ground coffee, even when opened it doesn't lose it's aroma before it's ground. And yes, I have covered the possibility of my electric coffee grinder being redundant if there's no power, as I have a good ol' hand grinder lol. Drinking instant would be such a blow to morale, it could sap my will to survive.

[@borg386]

basic self-preservation at its finest good job!

[@survivalist125]

Very nice i am working on the food preparation and where and how to store it. Few issues I am running into is my wife is really picky lol and I have not found a good system to keep shit rotating. .. For the emergency candles i have found them at the doller tree 6 or 7 for 1 $ and they burn for about 5 hrs a pice...

[@RicciOlson]

eat what you store and store what you eat =)

[@LisaAnn164]

Mountain House is EXCELLENT!!! It's worth the money to spend.

[@carolineleiden]

Best keep the house looking real nice in case of an emergency because all the neighbours will be coming over for dinner now!

[@draggodraggon862]

Nice.the mountain house is pretty tasty.i like the chili Mac.i scored some number 10 cans for five bucks.bags are better though because they say once you open them they have to be eaten within a few days.

[@EulieBennett-Douglas]

Awesome!!!

[@AdmiralPreparedness]

It appears your water heater may start to leak. Keep all of your stash dry brother. Move that ammo farther away from the water heater,

[@SensaiMan]

Good advice, I think that you could add tin milk or long life cartoons would be a benefit. You're well stocked up.

[@elizabethduncan6418]

I know if you are a single guy don't forget your bandages even buying pads for women or tampons or a panty liner for women could also act as a bandage keeping blood-soaked up that is what they are made for

[@anonz975]

Nice setup. Might want to store cans of cat food instead of dry. Dry goes rancid rather quickly (and canned is actually healthier, especially the friskies pate types). Also some crisco shortening, it has an indefinite shelf life and can be used for frying/baking as well as a long burning emergency candle if need be (but burn it in a jar, not in the cardboard container).

[@simonh6371]

I only have about a weeks' supply of cat food. In a month long survival scenario, cat stew is on the menu in the second week.

[@BeeTay]

This is amazing! If I could recommend 1 thing, it would be way more water. But besides that it's amazing

[@TheHuma999]

great food storage man but I have a little advice instead of those ramen noodles which have zero to none calories or vitamins, have more water or caned corn or peas also have something that will give you vitamin C like sauer kraut or something like that

[@patriciaribaric3409]

+TheHuma999 Good advice with the kraut. The diet in these preps are bound to cause reflux. Kraut is very good to counter that, plus it keeps one regular. I think it's time for me to add that to mine. I can't believe I hadn't thought of that.

[@ajt1106]

Sorry to say, but that's mostly extremely high sodium junk food. Make sure that your cans are BPA free. The military recommends that no one, in any circumstances, should live on just MREs for more than 3 weeks. Those are 'Meals that neveR Exits!" ;-) Stock a minimum of 2 gal/day of water and you'll be just fine, for a few weeks :-)

[@simonh6371]

Also a lot like the tinned soup has next to no calorific value.

[@littlelegendvlogs1936]

Wow ur so prepared, I need to pull my finger out n start stocking up, I have 3 kids, so ima need to start quick lol gra8 vid 😁

[@acajudi100]

Great haul. Ammo near propane containers? Have First Aid Kit, medicines, bleach, and vinegar.

[@smokeycanopy]

Add more shelves is all I can think of.

[@elnegro8654]

Also learn to do brick stove in case you run out of gas. Easy to do and very convenient. Add some medical supplies and alway add honey. It will never go bad and has lots of health benefits

[@simonh6371]

That way you will invite all marauders/raiders to your outdoor barbeque, no good unless you have a machine gun with several belts of ammo.

[@lindafiske7909]

Like I said before, do not forget to stock up on manual can openers. I find that the ones they sell at DOLLAR GENERAL GREAT

[@lindafiske7909]

I meant that the ones they sell at DOLLAR GENERAL work well in all brands of cans. And they only cost $1.00 each. Not a bad Price either I might add.☺

[@KhemistryIBMOR]

Nice food store.

[@simonh6371]

I don't rate a lot of the products you have in terms of calorific and other nutritional value bro, like ramen (empty calories and not much at that), tinned soups which are very low-cal unless you go for bean soups, sweetcorn is just nothing hence it lands whole in the toilet bowl lol, also tinned chicken breast, which isn't really a thing here in the UK, it's very low-cal although not bad in terms of weight for weight protein. Luckily here in the UK we have 340g tins of all kinds of chicken curries each with about 500 cal upwards, combine with rehydrated dried fruit e.g. apricots, or chutney/jam, rice, even make some flour chapattis or johnny cakes with it, and you're getting loads of energy and other nutrients plus it's delicious. There's also stewing steak in tins here in the UK, loads of calories again (nearly 600 per tin) and you can add tinned mushrooms, tomato puree, paprika to make it a bit more interesting. I never liked instant mash, I prefer quick-cook couscous which has more calories, add olive oil, lemon juice and it's truly delicious and nutritious. Best stuff to get: corned beef, canned/jar beans as they don't need hours cooking (important if there's no gas/electricity and you have to use camping stoves), nuts, dried fruit, tinned fish and if you can get it, tinned cod livers, 600 cal per small can and packed with vit D and omega 3 oils, I eat these regularly anyway. SAUERKRAUT is brilliant as it's cheap, compact, and healthy as fuck, providing vitamin C and probiotics (it's fermented) which you find in those expensive yoghurt-based products, to keep your gut healthy and your immune system strong. Olive oil, veg oil, bottled lemon juice (for vit C). Yeah I do have some luncheon meat/spam type tins but also I have dried cabanossi (keeps for ever, loads of energy) in my cupboard and chorizo in the fridge, but the chorizo will keep for weeks even if the fridge is out of action and it's something I eat regularly anyway so I just use and restock on a rotating basis. Honey keeps forever and is antibacterial as well as high in calories. Coconut milk is good to add to food (curries!) or oats instead of normal milk, tins keep for months, but this week I discovered sachets of coconut milk powder in my local Indian shop, no artificial ingredients, and has ridiculous amounts of calories, nearly 500 cal per small 50g sachet. My ideal survival foods for both bug in and -out scenarios are those with around 500 cal per 100g, costing around £1 each max, this way you can build a 2500cal day ration for use when you are outdoors and on the move and need the energy plus warmth, which ways less than 500g i.e. 1lb. My bug-in rations are based on old British Army (1980s/90s) vehicle rat packs, bug out is based on the 24hr individual pack, with improvements based on nutritional value and influence from cuisines of other countries, so when SHTF I will be eating some gourmet shit which keeps me healthy and fit, not cold baked beans, tinned wieners and packs of ramen lol.

[@leegrubb6753]

I see nothing wrong with what you have as long as your rotating everything. Including the water. I just saw your Bug Out Man. Very nice. Can you tell the manufacture of the walkie-talkie you shown at 2:57 in your video? Look nice and small! Thanks and keep up the videos! Lee

[@LisaAnn164]

That's NOT funny. It's not good to joke about something like that. This is about survival.

[@ERprepper]

Why do you have the "light" soups? Do you just rotate those, or do you suggest those rather the non-light soups? I like high calorie foods for shtf/wrol/etc prepping

[@simonh6371]

Even the non-light versions of those soups (mushroom, tomato) have less than 100 cal per tin and only about 5% of the veg they profess to be made from, the rest is just water, thickener and flavourings. Better to try to get hearty bean/lentil soups with meat content, or - I don't know if you get these in the USA - thick pea soup Dutch style with bacon/ham and potato cubes, but even these are only about 200 cal per tin so not enough for a meal even with bread. I eat these quite regularly though as a starter before a fish main, so I have a couple extra in my SHTF stock to eat as a starter before a tinned fish plus pasta/couscous & tinned olives main, replicating my normal meals.
