Prepper Pantry Tour | Emergency Food Stockpile

[@andiw9483]

Hello! I watched your video and so glad you prepare. I’m not going through all the comments to see if your question on here was answered. I’m referring to your Mylar bags and Oxygen Absorbers. You can use the Mylar bags for things like cereal however they still don’t last as long as something that had been dried (example beans or oats) and DO NOT use the oxygen absorbers for any type of food that already has moisture in them(example, brown rice, cereal, granola, jerky) it can create a toxic poison in your food. You’re doing great and just wanted to answer your question and I apologize is someone else already has.

If SHTF, people would just loot grocery stores and nearby houses. They're not going to hop on KZbin and watch random pantry tour videos to see if they can find anyone who lives within 15 states of them, so they can drive fir 400 hours to steal a lifetime supply of pickles.

If you store yeast anywhere from 32-68 degrees it will be fine. Been making wine and bread for years and never keep it in the fridge or freezer anymore. Also, they have found bottles of beer in the Baltic Sea from the early 1800s; the yeast inside was still viable and a university isolated it and now makes beer from that 200 year old yeast strain.

The three things that mainly spoil food are oxygen, moisture and light. This is why most people recommend Mylar bags and a cool, dark and dry place to store long term items. This is one of the better pantries I have seen but the work required is immense. Most of these items have about a 2 year shelf life before they spoil when stored in the original packaging and some items that contain baking powder such as the pre-mix pancake and baking items spoil in about a year. Lots of rotating stock to keep it fresh but heck when it’s a survival situation you gonna eat what you can get.

[@MW-so7is]

@Yasmine Mitchell Yasmine, start within your budget. I have 3 pantries; a working pantry that I use daily, a short term pantry with 6 months of food storage, and a long term pantry that only has rice, a variety of beans and pasta, some store bought canned meat and some 10 year shelf life items from Auguston Farms, and a few soups and veggies I canned myself. I continue to add to my short term pantry as I can because for my family, 6 months of food is not enough. I only want to go to my long term pantry if necessary. I said all that to say, you can begin a short term pantry by picking up items within your budget ( items you use everyday, canned goods with a 1 to 3 year shelf life, and other items you use stored in airtight containers). I have dry goods (oats, flour, sugar, etc. in a closet I converted into a pantry in airtight containers, along with canned goods (chicken, tuna, a variety of beans, condiments, applesauce, etc). It's only me and my son but I buy a little extra should my daughters need something. I also have a deep freezer I keep full. Always had a working/short term pantry and deep freezer as this was normal when I was growing up. Only starting prepping (2018 ) the long term pantry as I've kept abreast of things happening globally. Just start a little at a time if you haven't already. Get your children involved. It's life's lessons they can carry into the future. Much luck to you😉

Probably just different bacteria in foods.

[@homesteadgal4143]

@@charm8167 In the US, there are loads of additives in many milk products -- it's more about being on the shelf longer than being healthy. Our milk is almost always "ultra-pasturized" too. Also, too much herbicides being used (glyphosate/RoundUp). I've had Nubian dairy goats for years and their fresh milk is nothing like store-bought white-liquid. Heck, here in the US, juices extracted from nuts are also called "milk" so that should tell you how messed up our commercial food system really is.

I love your prepper pantry. You have so much good preps! 😍 I am curious as to what you use the aloe vera gel for though? I know there is many uses for it but curious to how you use it. For your mylar bags that can be completely normal because the oxygen absorbers only absorb oxygen not the air. So maybe for some you squeezed out more of the air then some other bags. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you know your oxygen absorbers were still good when you threw them in there (soft, not crunchy) and as long as you used the right amount.

It mimics the effects of estrogen and disrupts normal hormone function. Many cans contained a combination of these coating materials. Look for products labeled as BPA -free.

I was curious if you would be doing posts on family binders and prep for those? Thanks again!!!

Packets of things, like taco seasoning, ranch dressing, gravy - they store easily in an over-the-door shoe holder, which also can be used on the wire shelving instead. BTW - your pantry is so nicely organized; thanks for sharing a peek!

[@SheWolf1266]

Great video. You are the first person I've seen so far who not only buys a lot of the same things that I do, but also puts things together they way I would. You gave me some good ideas too. Thanks!

[@lorilxn1597]

I llve the bear creek soup mixes. I usually make homemade but sometimes I just don't have everything I need

[@knowbettertv]

I have been watching you for a long time. And I still check your pantry to see what I could fatten up my pantry with. What’s new with you? Keep looking forward with your great positivity!

[@FrithEvans]

What a great pantry! This has inspired me to start prepping. Thanks for the video!

[@jupamoers]

For how long is that pantry supposed to last? That's an entire room :D You can be a convenience store with all that food :D

[@peaches911]

Awesome pantry! Congratulations on 5K subscribers!

[@worldofappolonia]

Thank you so much Peaches! 💜

omg!! first off, soo impressive!! love your stash! 2nd.. I'm from new zealand and so to see Milo in your supplies- super cool!! its pronounced my-low... so impressed. I'm so inspired to get my storage cupboard going, ty soo much!!

[@lindabeck3412]

I love this tour ! Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel “ ok” to see that others also store the food & other items where they can find space! I recently created space for a small shelf behind my bedroom door & I have items there! I want to get a shelf unit for my kitchen that I can store things !!👍🏻 it ain’t always about things being pretty !!😊

[@worldofappolonia]

So happy you enjoyed Linda. Hey, we have to find space where we can. The shelving units are the best thing ever.

[@crispusattucks4007]

KZbin recommended this video. Glad to be here. Good vid and nice stockpile. Still working on ours

[@tinajohnston9474]

Your preps are looking awesome my sister 👍🏽 don’t stop keep prepping 👍🏽

[@worldofappolonia]

Thank you Tina!

[@karynkelly-michael4089]

Awesome set-up, Lady! Love to watch these type of videos to see potential gaps that I may have. WTG!

[@hugforyourbelly8640]

the sealing isn't your fault, necessarily...it could be a bag mylar bag. Most of the time, i have found that mylar bags need a clothes iron instead of a vacuum sealer. And pasta doesn't need to be vacuum sealed, it should be okay without that even long term.

[@sherryw9206]

You are so right, we should have been doing this from the beginning but it's never too late though. I will be starting me one. Thanks!

[@twodoodsplumbing2486]

Damn girl mad organization skills… love the metal shelf covers those are way cool

[@mrsroseblack9310]

I love how you have the clear zip up covers over the shelving!! I haven’t seen anyone do that. Super organized, love it!

[@minimalistcriminalist2722]

In my experience when I package my spaghetti noodles the bags don't get tight like the other bags do. I'm not sure why but I figured if they are sealed, then its good enough for me for now.

[@eyes2see438]

I’ve noticed sometimes when I put my spaghetti in Mylar bags, it doesn’t seal. Look for pin holes in the bags. Sometimes it’s the spaghetti and once I noticed when I received them, they had tiny holes.

[@laceyb81]

I seen a hack to pack your spaghetti in left over cereal bags and put it in the mylar bag to protect it against tiny holes. Also they have like a 7 thickness which is supposed to be super durable but sharp

[@francorley3205]

You have a great stash.god bless you and yours

[@Savingongroceries]

I love pantry tours! Your doing great stocking up. I’m gonna continue to watch to see how your garden goes.

[@worldofappolonia]

Thank you!

[@Simplylivinglifethebestican]

I vacuumed sealed my dry cereals in 1/2 gallon jars. I opened one I did 5 years ago and it tasted just fine. Great pantry. Thanks for sharing!

[@worldofappolonia]

This is awesome to hear! I think that’s what I’m going to end up doing with my cereal. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ruthfreeman864]

Nuts are a great reason to vacuum seal... You either have to freeze them or seal them or they will go rancid

[@thefrugallife-withmercedes7718]

Looks amazing! LOVE! I use shoe holders to store personal care items ect. My mom always did that so I learned it from her. Girl these are prepper goals! 🥰

[@worldofappolonia]

Thanks so much Mercedes. I see you pushing out these videos! Keep up the great work! ☺️

[@Nana-zi9xq]

I have a Mylar sealer with vacuum mode for removing most of the air. Buy thicker Mylar bags to avoid puncturs

[@LoveMyCoffee10]

I, personally don't like Mylar Bags, I like to keep pasta, rice, dry goods, etc. all in Mason Jars. I feel it's most secure. Your pantry looks great! Blessings!

[@worldofappolonia]

I understand your preference of mason jars over mylar. I’m starting to like and prefer glass over everything now days. Do you vacuum seal your mason as well? Many blessings to you and your family as well. ☺️

[@CoolTaxiDriver]

Thank you for inviting us into your home...and for all the ideas! I love your pantry! I’m working on my own.

[@CoolTaxiDriver]

The dry milk is ok. But, you can add some to the shelf stable for a little extra protein. You can also add in if you make yogurt. It works great in pancake mix or any baking mix.

[@lightning4871]

Well stocked and very organized- well done.

[@glendabenard3772]

You pretty much have everything to make your own hot coco mix. Very smart to can your own stuff.

[@sandramullen7804]

Wow !you have your own supermarket in your home 😆 great pantry the tinned fruit is a great pantry item to have very versatile. Well done 👏 ✔

[@worldofappolonia]

Thank you Sandra!

Just found you tonight....so awesome what you’re doing. I do the best i can in my 800 sq ft apartment.

[@tryingtosurvive451]

I live in an apartment too. I've decided to use my closet as a pantry and move the clothes out just an idea

[@ChristysChannelYall]

Same here!

[@Mayweatherjames096]

Glad to see more of our people paying attention respect 🙏 to you and your family ik you was raised right stay smart and never depend upon nobody to take care you

[@coralkarrass1834]

Can you tell me about the covers on your shelving. I tried to look through the other videos but I don’t immediately see if those are in a video. I’d love to get some of those for my shelves.

[@worldofappolonia]

Yes, I purchased the covers from Amazon! I have them linked in the description box of this video.

[@tdog4240]

Dole also contains more vit c

[@davids5006]

Wow. You are organized! I seen a few items that I need to add.. Great video from a smart and great looking woman

[@cynthiamullin661]

JUST. WOW! You have done such an AWESOME job. Also, I love how you used the hanging shoe organizer. :)

[@worldofappolonia]

Thank you Cynthia!

[@juliavillagran8239]

I am impressed! I am just starting to prepare so thank you for your video. ❤❤🙏

[@genzprepper954]

Awesome I need to keep on prepping it just sucks that my husband hates it and doesn’t see the need for it I kinda stopped because things started to kinda look up I wasted 3/4 months not really prepping to much 😭

[@worldofappolonia]

Britt, maybe your husband will come around to prepping eventually. Have you stopped prepping completely?

[@genzprepper954]

@@worldofappolonia no but I also kinda sometimes get panicky and try and buy a lot at once instead of gradual small trips I just don’t really know where to start. And at first I didn’t buy foods that we eat like yes we will eat them but I focused more on long term in a way. So I need to get like you this is awesome! He said as long as I can find it in our budget and not to just go out every month and spend $300+ dollars on only prep I have to give myself a budget and I get confused on which hauls what I should get if I should focus on “okay this week I’ll just get drunk mixes $40 of drink mixes” idk if that makes since

[@sheilabrown5367]

@@genzprepper954 I would say get what your family eats daily weekly monthly once you have a good supply of that then I would start on my longterm I just pick up stuff every 2 weeks payday whatever we use I replace .Another good tip many have posted is to rotate your food by date .Keep prepping your husband will thank you later prices are going up already .Good Luck

[@pinkgold4857]

You probably can start with rice cause its cheaper. And definitely water.

[@junesmith618]

Same here...

[@dianamills1739]

Just found your channel and I love it! Believe it or not, your spaghetti probably poked little holes in the mylar bags and prevented sealing. Your pantry is fantastic! I wish I was as organized as you are.

[@worldofappolonia]

Welcome Diana! Thanks so much for subscribing! I think the spaghetti poked holes too. 😩 I think sealing them in jars is the way to go. So happy that you’re enjoying my channel.
