Prepper Pantry Tour!- Updates and reorganization in play

Come on a tour of my current prepper pantry! I have added some items since my first tour on the Introduction to Food Storage video. Since I have started couponing to add to my pantry I realize I am in desperate need of pantry reorganization!
Many items will need to be repackaged as well in order to preserve them for long term storage and to protect them from any bug infestation. Always open to hearing your thoughts and ideas :) I value your feedback greatly!
To your health, longevity and peace of mind,
The Healthy Prepper :-)

Since I lost my job in March, I been stocking up for my raining day. I used some of my saving to stock up food and stuff my family needs. My brothers and sisters think I’m crazy. Well my lil family thinks am smart. I only say one thing to them. Don’t knock on my door!!!!

[@daleyza624]

Coronavirus got me here. After this is over i would like to start my pantry pepper. You never know what can happen in life, like this situation we going through now. or lose jobs🤷

[@sandygrimes7196]

I’m here for the same thing 😆

[@lindafiske7909]

Do not forget to stock up on manual can openers. They have good ones at DOLLAR TREE for only $1.00. 🙂

[@lindafiske7909]

I meant to say at DOLLAR GENERAL .

[@masonkane5884]

The one I got from the dollar store was utter garbage. found a few at garage sales for a buck or less though.

[@robertsilva8097]

If you're able to get a 12 bedroom home you can use one room for your pantry room that way the bedroom would be big enough or have a house built where you have a big supply room in the house that way in case if you need AC you can turn the AC on for the Room

[@sjmullen9011]

Wow! I know this was made years ago. This is so impressive. What an example of being well prepared! I’m inspired.

[@PeterFletcherDNADeliverer]

some good stocks you have there, im no where near close to what you have but getting there very slowly. kinda hard when the family is against the idea. well done

[@playinatlife5778]

How does your family feel about it now?

[@kschneider8340]

My family is against it. But after not having any food in stores due to covid in 2020. I dont care if they dont agree with me. I did the grocery shopping and saw the stores and I had to go to the store at 5am to get one box of pasta. My husband didnt see that so he doesnt understand as much. I dont care if he thinks I'm crazy.

[@annieprepper602]

Thanks for the vids... How long did it take you to store up your food? Also do you have an idea of how many years worth you have?

[@Ladyshystar]

I have "mystery feet" too :-) Makes me nuts when I go to get something and the bin is EMPTY. That's when she gets the "What does it take to write it on the we need list" lecture. LOL. Organizing and rotating is a challenge for everyone. A few years back I did an experiment to make it easy on myself. I bought several 55 gal snap top food grade drums. I packed a years worth of food (and other useful things) in each then I sealed them up and dated them. I let them go 2 years, and then rotate. I stocked my pantry with the barrel from 2014, and we are eating it now. Of course I supplement with FRESH VEGGIES because I still can. It is working out well for us. I don't have to worry about whats for dinner, lunch or breakfast. I just read the menu and go with it. I just refilled the barrel and will open it again in 2018. I am happy to say that so far, I have had -0- problems with spoilage or rancidity. :-)

[@JenninKanata]

I think she uses it and replaced it with newer stuff so stuff doesn't get out of date.

[@denisestich8731]

This is awesome! You've given me some really good ideas on storing. Thank you.

[@barbarasutherland8000]

Nice pantry I store my box items in see through plastic cases.👍👍👍👍👍👍✌️🤗🌈🍀🌏💕

[@SilverStarGazer]

I've been organizing cabinets this week myself! I've decided to spend the winter reorganizing the whole house so I can create an inventory, figure out where everything is, and make lists of what is still needed. Yay for organization! :)

[@yolandacastro4320]

You are inteligent

[@robertsilva8097]

Thank you for the Great video

[@meicollins1367]

what happened to you? it has been quite a few years since you have made newer videos. would like to hear from you. a long time vewer.

[@jonemi10]

I love this. Most prepper videos I see are foods I would never eat and they wouldn't rotate because they're so unhealthy. This is more realistic, I think, especially for people concerned about their health. You have higher quality, nutrient dense foods that may have shorter shelf lives, but if you use the food in your storage, you'll always have a healthy food storage in case of an emergency and you'll actually have food you'll feel good about eating. Because let's be honest, an emergency situation would be stressful enough without having to eat food you don't like or loaded with preservatives that make you feel like crap at a time you really need to be in optimal health. So, I appreciate the ideas on what to store. One thing I did notice, though, is that if you had an earthquake, you'd have a mess in there. I live in earthquake territory, so I'd probably be more careful about how I store food on shelves. You might not have that risk, though, so I'm sure this system works great for you.

[@holly7706]

Wowwww!!u have a fabulous stockpile!! I WISH I HAD THE FINANCES TO CREATE THIS AMOUNT OF SECURITY!! Everytime i go to grocery i am able to get about 5 to 6 extra can goods to stockpile and to rotate cuz we are just able to have a very minimal working pantry. Its just myself and my two children and my elderly uncle whom i take care of cuz he has dementia. So, we do the best that we can just to put food on the table for today much less a year from now. But we do not waste and we make the best of what we've got. I JUST WISH WE HAD THE MEANS TO STOCKPILE THIS MUCH FOOD AND STORAGE ,WOULD BE THE LEAST OF OUR WORRIES CUZ WE WOULD JUST BE SOOOO HAPPY TO HAVE IT!! GOD BLESS US THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH TO SURVIVE! I WORK TWO JOBS AND MY UNCLE IS UNABLE TO WORK BUT I PINCH EVERY DIME I HAVE! CAN U UNDERSTAND FRIEND?? God bless AMERICA!! IT WILL BE HARD FOR US TO GET AS MUCH FOOD AND SUPPLIES AS YOU HAVE, STORAGE WONT BE A BURDEN OR PROBLEM FOR US CUZ WE WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE IT THAT WE'D FIND A PLACE FOR IT NO PROBLEM! YOU ARE SOO FORTUNATE TO HAVE WUT U HAVE AND ITS ALMOST INSULTING THAT U ARE FEELING ANNOYED U CANT FIT IT ANYWHERE! DO U UNDERSTAND MY BELOVED FELLOW AMERICAN!?? Im so happy u are able to take care of yourself and stock up and i wish u n your family the best! GOD BLESS YOU!😂💪🇺🇸👼

[@itsnotthesamething]

We cleared the useless junk out of some cabinets in my den today, and organized our canned goods in there. We have everything organized by what it is, like beans and peas in one cabinet, various veggies in another, fruit in the next, then soups and canned meats in the last. The really great thing is, now we can see what we need more of, and what we have enough of for now. Plus, our kitchen pantry is no longer running over. Yay!

[@chrismichellehall9616]

U may want to freeze the package stuff. Like the rice, pasta stuff, dried peas & beans. Stuff like that. Now I don't freeze loaf bread just garlic breads. I also use to freeze milk but it still went bad. I do however freeze butter milk in the cartons. U can put the dried milk in zip bags and freeze them as well. Put the rest of all ur box stuff like Mac & cheese in totes bc bugs will get into them. Also u can go to the Dollar Tree and get cantainers for your sugar and flours bc if not, u will get bugs. Since I've done all of this, I've had no problems with bugs bc I coupon so I try to buy to stock up when there's a sale

[@KM-nq7ez]

The candy bin is empty🤣😂🤣

[@HealthyPrepper]

Great question! I prep for 5 people. Here is my take on expiration dates in my video titled "Expiration Dates on Food Storage for Preppers :) Is it Still Safe to Eat? " Hope this helps explain my rationale :)

[@floridagirl330]

That is a lot of bread. How does it not mold? I don’t eat that much bread but do buy 2 loaves, one for freezer one for refrigerator to make an occasional sandwich, toast, French toast. If you put it in microwave to warm it is still good for a sandwich, so I am curious as to how you keep so much bread from going bad.

[@patriciaorsborn7165]

Wow, I wish mine was like yours, I may have to swipe your ideas. I love to cook when I know I can start any recipe and not have to run to the store for an ingredient!

[@danielthomas8670]

please keep us in prayer we are elderly and disabled, no knowledge if we will ever get food stamps again, need extra monies on a phone bill but had to argue to not get shut off even though we payed over 100 today, cant make arrangements if we need to buy foods ourselves, we dream of our supplies to look as organized as yours

[@MaBerryHomestead]

@Daniel Thomas...Try Republic Wireless phone service. Their plans start as low as $15 a month without data, $5 additional for each 1gb of data added plus fees. I have multiple lines for less than $60 per month. Been with them for over 3+ years with no service problems!

[@debstayblessed9549]

Thanks for sharing. Can you provide a link for the Mylar bags. I have a vacuum sealer. Do you know why preppers double bag ie mylar bag then vacuum sealed don't understand the double bagging. Appreciate your insights.

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

every one should have 3 days food and water in there home at all times even if its ramen noodles if you can afford it /I have been working on my 6 month supply I date mark everything I store the rice /beans /grains/flour/sugar/pasta in jars yes the good expensive ones and all the rest w/o desiccants in jars my goal is a 3 year supply

[@robertsilva8097]

You can put bread into the freezer in the bread will last much longer just trying 2 be helpful

[@robertsilva8097]

Keep up the Great work

[@chillyfreddie]

Hello what size bags do you use for your flour and,where can I buy them from. Thank you

[@angelikabertrand4045]

Cans have too much sodium and other chemical substances. However if you invested in lots of dry foods Oats Kidney beans Lentils Rice You could cook from scratch. Have much healthier meals. Also canning much healthier and taste better.

[@Grit.Glam.Budget814]

May I ask where you got the gray little storage containers

[@HealthyPrepper]

Much appreciated! And did I mention I adore England!

[@avonleanne]

what I want to know is do you have (as I do) people in your extended family that think your nuts? I really hate that! BUT I cannot convince them as to the why....its just amazing that people think this is hording....anyway, after all that, I gotta say I LOVE your pantry, its very good use of your space.

[@MaBerryHomestead]

@Avonleanne... I found out that the best way to explain was when I suffered a job injury that led to unexpected job loss. My pantry and freezer meals provided my family months of food while I could use limited income for monthly bills. Unexpected job loss, job injuries, short/term illnesses, pregnancy (during & after), etc will all lead to decreased income. Weather and housing conditions can also lead to a limited income by having to relocate. These are some of the ways having a stocked pantry and freezer meals can help you and/or your family. Being a prepared can be done for many reasons. Pick your choice, long term illnesses (MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, etc- causing increased fatigue, makes freezer meals & pressure cooked meals in a jar ideal), etc... Rocky economy is another one, being prepared to feed your you and/or your family relieves income pressure and frees up incoming money to pay monthly shelter costs & vehicle (?). Hope these ideas have been of help to you

[@cindybrowning1711]

i love my foodsaver and i take a magic maker and write the date on all my can goods

[@tnchelle1]

I know the ones you have in mind but these are not the huge metal shelving units, these are heavy duty cardboard boxes in different sized configurations that you can place on your pantry shelves. I will try to pm you the link to the website. ;)

[@HealthyPrepper]

I hear you SilverStarGazer! I love organizing, it makes me fell so...organized :) I mad emajor progress on one wall of my pantry this weekend- I will post a video on it todau - with before and after shots :) Happy organizing and healthy prepping!

[@michael616joaquin]

That's great work! Well done! Hugs from London, UK.

[@tinasteciuk8170]

Wow those ham Tina are enormous. Over hear in the UK south wales our Tina of ham are small.

[@electropalsceo]

Did you use a oxy absorber with the cereal? Doesn't look like it, thr air still in the mylar bags.

[@TheCondor300]

I'm a beginner.. but I find buying canned foods by the case is easy....

[@extasiador]

Preferiría ver más conservas hechas en casa en vez de conservas industriales, pero muy buena alacena.

[@johndemeyer4613]

do you have a menu to follow when the need is there? some recipes whit the canned food?

[@jolliebear5706]

GREAT ORGANIZATION

[@walkerbait610]

I wish I could afford to have food like this. This is what my pantry would look like if money were not an issue.

[@erik0073]

Buy ten of one item on sale every week plus regular stuff. You'll accumulate a huge amount in a year.

[@patrickk.6782]

Do you know which canned soups and meats have really low sodium? Most have way too much and that makes me reluctant to store a lot of it. Thanks!

[@ArmchairPMC]

Where did you get mylar ziplocks? I think thats an awsome idea.

[@dixiebell3585]

The 2 people I care about the most won't survive more than 3 weeks w/out meds. So many people have so little. I am good for 3 weeks. I recommend cup of noodles, stern and lots of water for people don't. The Japanese credit it for survival of the Tsunami. It is cheap comfort food.

[@daniellemarceaux5395]

like that idea on how to take care of all those lose bags will have to go to the dollar store and get some will have to make a rotation thing will have to make some granola to do you have any granola recipes

[@CRYBABY-qi8in]

IT IS NOW MAY 11, 2016.. WERE YOU ABLE TO ROTATE? DID YOU HAVE TO GIVE STUFF AWAY, OR DID YOU EAT EVERYTHING.. TOO MUCH, OR NOT ENOUGH ??????

[@HealthyPrepper]

Sure :) Lots of common brands have low sodium versions such as Campbells, and Progresso and Amy's Organic soups and many others. I actually have lots of low sodium soup cans stored. I am prepping for 5 people and one has high blood pressure. :) I understand your concern. It may make more sense to store dried veggies and meats (freeze dried meats) and make your own soup with your own ingredients if severe sodium restriction is required. There is always a way :)

[@tnchelle1]

What about something along these lines? The can organizers...I tried to post the link but it wouldn't let me. :( They are basically a very heavy duty self rotating can holder that you can order in different configurations to hold different sized cans. While they seem costly, from reading reviews it seems they will hold up for years of constant use, so it might be worth the investment? Maybe buy a few at a time? It does seem that the more you buy the less S&H would be.

[@w.a.watson3078]

Looks like your pantry is accessible to others If there was any kind of Catastrophe and some one came a calling your food would be easy pickings..

[@strawberryme08]

Are you Canadian by chance?

[@HealthyPrepper]

From what I have seeen on the canorganizers, they look like they use up alot of valuable storage space. Maybe I am mistaken, I will take another look at them :)

[@HealthyPrepper]

Isn't that the ultimate prepper question...when is enough, enough? I still don't feel like I am fully prepped yet in many departments :) Probably never will :)

[@alishanaranjo8245]

Why did she stop making videos?

[@HealthyPrepper]

Thanks ubay :) Happy to have you :)

[@garycalcote1227]

where do you get you small canned hams? I've looked with no success.

[@mikeconley9590]

Gary Calcote Aldis has them here for two bucks each.

[@torynichols2413]

Mini mart

[@audrey631000]

The dollar general and family dollar have them here. I'm gonna start getting them. Sometimes we need to go to the food pantries because I have developed alot of health problems so we really have alot of canned veggies but we usually take about half to the soup kitchen. I don't want to stop doing that. I am new at prepping. I hope one day I will have a stockpile like yours. Its just my granddaughter, my husband and myself. I think at first my husband thought I was crazy but now he sees what I am doing and he thinks it's cool. I've gotten my granddaughter involved and she is excited about it. Whenever she goes shopping she picks up some of this or that. I know it is serious but it's also become fun.

[@HealthyPrepper]

Thanks TheJudyKnight! Very helpful suggestions! I must look into your ideas!

[@269sjb]

You have more flour than I have used in the last 10 years. I'd say your prepped!

[@HealthyPrepper]

Thanks and long live the queen :)!!

[@HealthyPrepper]

Yep, sometimes I think it's a herd of elephants ;) And yes couponing has truly helped me store up much more food and supplies than I could for much less money. What a relief!

[@HealthyPrepper]

Ooooo...these look very promisng! If I save enough from couponing I might give these a go! You are full of great ideas Brooklyn girl1969! Thanks :)

[@dougdunlap6638]

How long will food in the Mylar last?

[@jackdawson4519]

No thanks healthy prepper, glad to have you in my subscribers list. En thanks for subscribing on my channel ;-).

[@misskelly9184]

where do you get your mylar bags from?

[@HealthyPrepper]

I bought mine online at amazon and ebay :) Lots of different sizes too!

[@wahinepaddler4]

The feet in your house..must be the SAME feet in my house..things keep moving around..drives me nuts!! Love that couponing has helped your prepping :)

[@Marie-gm9ql]

how long do you keep the rice after the date is expired? have some rice from 2014, my dad thinks we might have to throw it away. Should we?

[@Ladyshystar]

+Leni Mikaelson I never throw rice away Leni. Do you have dogs? If you don't feel comfortable eating it yourself then make dog food. Waste not want not :-) Dry canning is cheap and easy. All you need is quart jars and an oven. This method will safely keep your rice for years. Look into dry canning for grains and beans since you don't have a food saver. :-)

[@Marie-gm9ql]

Ladyshystar Yes I have very stubborn german sheperd. Thank you I will look into dry canning :)

[@Ladyshystar]

+Leni Mikaelson Perfect! Shepeards are generally great dogs. As far as the stubborn part, what do you expect, he is German ;-) My heritage is German so I can say that. Dry canning is a breeze and I was thrilled when I discovered it. No more bugs in grains and it is so easy. Shelf life of 20 years for most things. I love my jars, but they can be heavy. If you want easy carry go with mylar.

[@Marie-gm9ql]

Ladyshystar haha I am german as well so :P I am going to look into it

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

that is a nice supply great vid

[@dhansel4835]

Can foods don't last that long. It is better to buy freeze dried food from Wise Food, Mountain House or Auguson Farms. They will last 25+ years. I put some vegetables up about 8 years ago. Left them in a cool dry place for about 2 1/2 years. Opened a can and liked to have thrown up. You couldn't eat it.

[@Hitmandabeast0198]

Healthy????

[@jackdawson4519]

Thanks for the nice video, keep on prepping. Great greatings from your new subscriber. :-)

[@lindalanham6299]

I do not understand stashing this stuff. There is a ton of food here and only 2 people? When do they expect to eat all of this? What about the expiration dates? Several years back I used to "stock up" for the winter, mostly canned goods, jarred goods and boxes goods. However it turned out that I was wasting money and things were passed their expiration date, and it was not getting used. So I quit doing that. I agree, if you live in a place like Alaska off the grid then you have to prepare, but living in the subburbs, I do not think it is necessary or practical.

[@constitutionalrepublican1611]

You do know that expiration dates are not accurate, as the fda forces manufacturers to set those dates so people go out and keep buying more. Its about one of the only reasons our economy is still afloat from all the govt corruption actually..... Just from the fraudulent dates on food supplies.

[@joannathesinger770]

Where on God's green earth did you get the idea that there are only two people in her household?!? She's mentioned herself, her husband, and "feet", so she obviously has several children she's providing for. In fact, I scrolled down just a few more comments and she herself stated she preps for FIVE. SMH. Obtuse much?!?

[@HealthyPrepper]

I buy my mylar ziplock bags online either on amazon or ebay :)

[@MsCherryPop3]

Don't forget about the pets! They will need food, too. And treats.

[@angelikabertrand4045]

Why do fols waste money on store bought tiny apple sauce? Local fruit markets Canning jars or freezer bags Any fruit you like Much much healthier and you control the incredients.

[@lynnlamont9427]

Plant food everywhere

[@jackdawson4519]

Tip: Buy Honeyville, or Mountain House. Dont buy wise food or Costco.

[@HealthyPrepper]

Thanks for the tip ubay :)

[@Simplydor]

Do U hv a BiG Family & Does Ur Family Eat All of of This Food ? I buy soups when on Sale but it has a Expiration Date I actually had to thro out 2- cans :(

[@angelasharden2]

Are you on Instagram? I love ur videos & your pantry!! Ur my hero!

[@HealthyPrepper]

Thanks! You just made my day! :) Not on Instagram.... yet ;)

[@cindakellogg1307]

I don't mean this in a mean way...but everyone talks about losing power or such...well how do you cook this food?? Just curious....

[@supergeeky7529]

+Cinda Kellogg google off grid cooking. How do you think people did it before electricity was invented? = )

[@ceciliacarney7909]

Cinda Kellogg - - Solar energy, fireplace/pit, propane stove, generator for electric stoves or microwave. JUST DON'T FORGET THE CAN OPENER!! 😆👍

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Cinda Kellogg we as humans are very well at adapting to our surroundings. There are several ways to cook without power. I suggest you look it up just in case it ever happens to you. At least your family will have some nice hot food. ☺

[@nancygates2503]

You know these items have expiration dates.

[@michaelrasmussen426]

You know the dates are best by dates and can last year's past that date...

[@balikbayanpinay5883]

Sorry I cannot watch the full video. The sudden movement of your camera is making me dizzy. Thank you for sharing how your prep is set up.

[@HealthyPrepper]

I know, I know ... I am a bit of a misnomer ;)

[@patzijlstra6676]

Indeed a lot of toxic crap...all bought,nothing home made! and now you must refresh it! that means you have to eat it!! good luck! (you better throw it all away).

[@yellowbird5411]

My problem in prepping with a lot of food storage, is that most foods that are good to stockpile are canned goods. They usually are full of salt, sugar, and chemicals. I don't eat a lot of canned or preserved foods, so rotating them would be a problem. I see what others are stockpiling, and it almost makes me ill looking at it. I get frustrated, because I won't eat most of that. I'm not a bean eater, a rice eater, an oatmeal eater or a cornmeal eater, either, to any extent, so buying large quantities of this stuff would not get rotated very well. It is a quandary for me, and yet I know there are others who don't find it to be that much of a problem. Limited selection of foods is probably where this is going to lead me. Which, if we are talking six months, is probably not the end of the world.

[@patzijlstra6676]

sorry,saw the end:home made stuff!! throw the othes things away!

[@PapaGraves]

I'm guessing you don't live in earthquake country.

[@brendahardin206]

I am sorry,I thought I was on another channel,please forgive me .

[@hiyasweets]

What a challenge

[@michael616joaquin]

we should swap, apart from the insane laws and corruption i love the u.s but the same shit is here too we just have worse teeth and weather :) keep it up sugar..

[@Ansset0]

bullsh.. pantry. it's just chaos made of chemical, extremely high processed "food".

[@Chris2Flock]

Yep,lol

[@naomibeery478]

Was watching a show recently about families in africa who dont even have clean water to drink and that came to mind while watching this. I challenge you to give a few cases to the food bank.

[@yellowbird5411]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Naomi Beery OR you could give to the food bank, and not ASSume what she does or does not do for the needy!

[@jennydeleon24]

Lol. Healthy Prepper? You serious

[@yellowbird5411]

I understand the prepper mentality, although I think they overdo it. Unless you live on top of a mountain, or out in the sticks with only one road in and out, hoarding enough food to last for months just doesn't make sense to me. It bothers me to see hoarding when there are people now, in your own town, who don't have food. It is not only the system that can collapse in an unexpected emergency. It is people who have their own personal emergencies in a nation awash with food, who need some. I hope that all the preppers out there who have whole rooms stocked to the ceiling will share a lot of it with hungry neighbors through the local food bank, and not wait for an incoming meteor to take our systems down. While we huddle and wait with our guns for all h... to break loose, people need help now.

[@Moore2Lifepantrylovinprepper]

Lynn Proctor it’s Not hoarding if it’s used and rotated.

[@jadejade5303]

They are not hoarders. Also they use their hard working money to buy the foods unlike those people who spent all their money on luxury items and end up has no money for foods.

[@sharonlavender1707]

People like this is hording so no one else can get it. Poor people don't have the money so it will be the poor who die. I called a church for food the answer was no. I am 68 years old and with lung and heart problems. I'm on a fixed incomei barely have money for food every month. Seniors only get $16.00 a month food stamps. So unless God keep me well I'm doomed

[@seminolerick6845]

Do you have a twin sister, eligible for marriage ? lol
