It's nice and inspiring to see your pantry.. Thank you for sharing sir..

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thank you for watching.. and commenting!

[@heatseekerbus]

Excellent good start, it adds up quickly. Nice to see more people are prepping. I liked and subbed.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thanks for the sub!

[@TheMixingBowlHomestead]

Hello. New sub here enjoying your pantry. Keep stocking up as much as you can. Little by little adds up to much. Keep going my brother. 👍👍

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thank you for the sub! Yes.. I imagine it will grow a lot in the coming months.

[@deneseburrell]

What a remarkable job! I am envious and suddenly starving 😆 At least you'll enjoy the apocalypse without having to revert to eating bugs~

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thank you.. still a lot more needed but I have a good start.

[@pawpawmike7372]

You have a really great start on your pantry. What is right for 1, is not always right for another. Just remember to stock what YOU eat, and eat what you stock.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Correct.. I have my favorites *grin*.. Lucky for me my extended family is not picky at all, and having food to them (like my pantry) is just mind blowing.

[@omelatagolgol7024]

Thanks for sharing!

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thanks you for the sub!

[@potpourrioflife]

Your pantry is great!! Mine is not as full, albeit sufficient for our needs plus a little extra. You made me realize that I need to up my game on protein, yet I also have a freezer full that I will be working on again, to cook and can. I do not have a freeze dryer, otherwise that would be running full-time as you are doing. Great job!!

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thanks, yes non stop with the freeze dryer. I would be canning if I didnt have one for sure.

[@Holly-ys1me]

Thank You. "Rice is going to be a pretty big problem, next year". Finding rice at the grocery stores in my area is a problem right now. Watch the milk alternative as it is chemicals which are bad for you. I do not have a freeze dryer as I have been prepping for the last 4 years on my small budget. For Augason Farms on Amazon, I watch the prices and purchase when it drops below a certain price. The potato slice buckets go on sale about every 5 to 6 weeks. The Creamy Wheat #10 cans have been at an all time low right now. Creamy Wheat is a hot cereal that is normally more expensive than oatmeal but right now it is cheaper than oatmeal. I have been purchasing bulk cases of LaModerna pasta and cheap cases of 24 count tomato sauce. Some brands are going at between $10 to $12 a case. Inflation has not reached those items yet so I can get more for my money. Good Luck.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

For sure, even here where we Iive, full of rice fields, it will be a problem with price, as they can send it to the big towns and make more. The world is going to have issues next year with rice, and most grains. It might take 3-4 years if the weather is nice to recover. I will be stacking away as much as I can very soon. Thanks..

[@tinagale7840]

My daughter lives next door to me on my property and between the two of us, we have at least 2-years worth of food based on what we each have in our freezers AND what we have in our pantry's. Shop for what you eat and eat what you shop for.

[@tinagale7840]

My husband and i worked for the same government contracting company and we got laid off in September of 2020. I was soooooo thankful that I had stocked up on meat and canned everything I could from my garden. We lived on that for more than a year. The ONLY things we need to buy were milk, butter, eggs.

[@jyrusver8891]

nice pantry! I started stockpiling since Sept. 2022, once a week every Saturday I set aside a small amount of money to buy 3 cans of grocery that goes to my stockpile, I am happy to see that they are growing. Now I already have 40+ assorted cans. I have a list of what to buy and I stick to it.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Awesome good job, I tell folks you can do it a little at a time and before you know it, you have 30 days..

[@jyrusver8891]

@@PHExpatPrepper I find it very hard for my extended family here in the Philippines to tell them to prep. They will say they don't have the capacity to prep. You know that prepping is a mindset and its not expensive at all. What important is that my kids will survive for days.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

@@jyrusver8891 This is true..family is already looking to US for food now. Yet beer seems to be available for them. Sigh.. There will be some hard times, and WE come first.

[@marcrobinson4907]

I have a suggestion for you. Well two suggestions. 1. Grab some Irish Spring bars of soap. Take one bar shred it using a cheese grater and then sprinkle the shredded soap along the walls and underneath your storage shelves. Your pantry will smell nice and apparently the smell will repel bugs and rodents. Gardeners use it to repel bugs, rabbits and other threats to vegetable gardens. Lots of content creators swear that this method works. 2. I suggest when you purchase any of those 25/30yr shelf life foods that you taste it before you buy it in bulk. For example ReadyWise in my opinion that brand isn’t very good and you’re paying a premium for noodles and flavoring. You may be better off buying a case of ramen noodles.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thanks.. will try that soap method. The readywise was on sale like 50%.. so picked it up, but I agree. I will be making my own. Some things like onions, milk, and the powders are easier to buy when on sale then to make.

[@dessebasey2750]

I just came across your channel. I like your pantry set up. We live in Indiana. I've always prepped but we upped our game about a year ago. I started watching prepper channels and I have learned soo much. I started canning this summer. My husband just got his venison back from the processor. He normally gets 3 every year. I'll be canning come this week.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thank you for the sub! I love deer meat.. none to be found here however. I lived in Montana and Idaho so had it quite often.

[@ms.s3215]

I am in Indiana, the DNR upped the limits on deer. There is a 10 limit until January with only one buck allowed. The problem with that is that I live in an area of private property homesteads that do not allow hunting yet the hunters invade and it risks lives as they fire guns less than 5 feet from my house and others. It damages houses and the hunters do not care and refuse to pay for the damages to houses.

[@Followerofchrist209]

Love the tour ❤

Hello new subscriber here admire your thoughtfulness and understanding what the future may bring. All the signs all the economic changes I completely agree. I am here in Oregon, but I am looking forward to getting back to Asia and probably Landing in Dumaguete for long-term. Not sure you're complete plan so I'm just learning Here and Now. I hope you have some safeguards so not sharing too much information with your local potential predators. Thanks for sharing and looks like you have a great plan and methods.🙏🙏

What a straightforward, clean, neat and organized pantry and I like the high can count , it just makes sense.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

[@kaylachittum1759]

Auguson farms has great deals so we try to focus on grabbing things from them we can’t grow or don’t have resources to make like milk butter etc. thanks for sharing!

[@PHExpatPrepper]

I do the same.. one day will actually try the stuff..haha

[@ms.s3215]

They have cheaper brands like Mother Earth Food Products or Hoosier Hills Farm or YuPik. You get the same amount by weight in most types of the cans but they are in plastic canisters which is cheaper. The dehydrated blueberries are 10 to 12 ounce in the #10 survival can and cost between $33 and $100 each. However YuPik has a pouch of dehydrated blueberries that are over 2 pounds which is over 32 ounces for under $25. It would take 3 of the $33 cans so $99 total to equal the amount of the YuPik $25 pouch of dehydrate blueberries. That is $99 from the name brand survival food companies versus $25 for a YuPik pouch of the same product. Is the can really worth $74. I think about these things. And you can find other long term shelf stable food products that the survival food companies do not carry. I have a canister of dehydrated chives as well as a canister of dehydrated cabbage amongst other foods. I have the potato cubes that are difficult to find. And I have sour cream powder. Lipton has a Cream of Chicken powder that can be reconstituted to make Cream of Chicken Soup for recipes and it takes up less space on the shelf. It actually has more flavor than the generic cans of Cream of Chicken Soup. There are other survival food options besides the big survival companies out there so you do not have to pay their high prices. I found the I cannot eat the survival food bars. I also learned that I cannot wax cheese. I found that field mice love to chew through mylar bags so packages need to be doubled by putting food in mylar packages into a thick plastic bin or food safe bucket to keep the rodents out. The cardboard boxes of pasta get exposed to moisture and bugs before you even purchase it from the store so the plastic packages are better for keeping the moisture and bugs out.

[@sophiagrace8362]

Your getting started that's great and your ahead of the game by freeze drying.You can oder long term cheaper price from LDS HOME FOOD STORGE

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thank you.. The freeze dryer is running not stop, eventually I will dry fresher stuff, just trying to get some items stacked up.

All excellent advice Bill, only wish I

I just found your channel and will be watching more videos. Never heard of freeze drying pudding so going to look into that. Sounds like a great alternative to freeze drying ice cream.

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Thanks! Yeah I saw the pudding on another channel and it looked great. Next week I will give it a shot. I think key is NON fat milk.

[@kellysheridan4064]

Hi .. dont forget seeds for garden, microgreens & sprouts. And dry spices are super important too. Also get everything that is not rodent proof repackaged immediately ! Take no chances. Best wishes !

New sub here and I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. It's great to see somebody prepping in PH. We are working on our preps too. We don't eat as much canned food, but I include them because they last longer. I will learn how to can so I could include the food that we raise and grow in our stockpile. I will definitely learn a lot from you. Thank you for sharing and looking forward for more videos.

I think you have a good pantry, the Philippines is a vast farming community, and everyone and there Ate has a garden , I don’t thing you should go overboard, invest now in things you can use to barter , batteries, recharable lights , medical ointments and lotions , get a few rechargeable emergency Am/Fm radios , build your electrical system to go completely of grid with a big freezer, get tools don’t worry so much about machete because they are everywhere already , just make sure you got a couple

@@PHExpatPrepper I have my eye on the X-Large Harvest right one. But I saw another video not long ago from someone a new company who makes one that looks almost the same and claims its way better made. But then again Not like a competitor would come out and say yeah they are way better than what we have use them. LOL So I'm not 100% sold I'm just keeping my eyes open until the time is right. I didn't want to post about other tubers on your channel and seem rude or draw attention away from you. But I was tempted to ask if you had seen their videos. I enjoy watching the foods they make and complete meals and such with the FD. And thank you for the response

Can foods are too short to store unless u really eating them which they are not healthy at all. Don’t be 1980 prepper. Have some dry freeze foods but also try to have a garage of hydroponics. Then if u have land. Do fish farming too

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Canned foods 'can' be bad, mostly due to sodium (salt) but anything that gets to BBD I can use in recipes on the freeze dryer. One day I will have some land..

[@judetchua]

I think the Galunggong or Blue Mackerel Scad is one of the variety the Philippines is importing. Also called the "poor man's fish" which was very cheap back in the days. Fish in Negros Oriental is cheap, especially in Bacong & Valencia but meat is expensive. We were there last March-August and there are a lot of expats in Valencia. Great video by the way but I'm just curious if you'll store sugar as well? As you know, there are some issues with sugar supply they say. Already smashed that like and sub button. :)

Hello Sir impressive start up pantry sir Some questions if you dont mind First why did you choose to place your pantry on the 2nd floor? Most preppers choose to put their pantries near their kitchen or even in basements to minimize light and high temperature My second question is where do you get some of your canned food like the Augoson Farm? Do you order through Amazon or do you ask friends or family to buy there and send it to you? Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and answer my questions Looking forward to hearing from you

[@PHExpatPrepper]

Hi.. thanks. 2nd floor is where I had room, and the rest of that space will be aircon'd most of the time. There IS a commercial kitchen on that floor right down the hall. This space will eventually be a nice coffee shop. No light once the door is closed. Augoson farms .. amazon.com. Look for big sales, and FREE delivery to the Philippines.. when the two line up a GREAT time to buy. Before the free shipping, I would have US folks buy and send via balikbayan boxes.. but those have not even arrived yet, what you see was all free shipping from the US.
