I know that pancreatitis pain all too well. I was hospitalized 3 times. Please get your lipase numbers checked. I'm praying you get better soon.

[@RowesRising]

Im so sorry you know the pain. My lipase was over 500 then 4 days later was still over 200 and flaring again so I don’t know how high it got that day as I went in as soon as the pain started again. 🥴 I have around 2 flares a month on average but so far I’m staying home- unless I get a fever and can’t keep food down then I’ll go back to the hospital. It’s pain management for recurring acute pancreatitis until I see my gastroenterologist in October and that’s “an urgent referral” 🥴

[@katescaringcorner6765]

@@RowesRisingOctober?? That’s a longass time to wait to see a specialist! I’m sure you are on a cancellation list but if the doctor is that booked than people won’t want to cancel unless they miraculously are cured. I know you know your triggers and stay away from them the best you can but sometimes you just don’t know a trigger until you have had it. Only prayer can help in times like these. My deer dad had it. He was never sick. Then he contracted pancreatitis. With him it was alcohol that was the trigger. He stopped drinking cold turkey, which was good. But I blame his exposure to asbestos more than the alcohol. 40 years of working around it in both his civilian job and his military job in the Army National Guard. But they didn’t know about it then.

[@RowesRising]

You are telling me. We don’t have one in this town so we have to travel and that was the soonest I could get. I’m on a cancellation list. So frustrating to have to suffer these episodes until then. I’m trying diet modifications but it doesn’t seem to matter. 😅

You do it for your children and you do it for your husband and I know you do it for yourself because you wouldn’t be this far into this journey without doing so.

You will remain in my prayers. 🙏🏼

[@CarolH-ep2gg]

I am not a home canner because I don't have all the equipment. But I do stock up on canned and jarred and frozen sauces and veggies. We also have a meat subscription so we have meat on hand. We eat fresh as we can, but also rotate the pantry stuff to keep on top of it. We do what we can to keep two fridgs/freezers and three small pantries stocked. Covid taught us a lot. We also share what we can then I make a big batch of something. Our neighbors love it! I had a stroke 2 years ago and I worked hard to get back to cooking and having good meals for us. And typing, it took a long to type out this message correctly with no misspelling! Lol! Hang in there, you are doing great and you really care for your family!

Thank you for taking the time to write all of that. I appreciate you sharing your experience. I hope you continue to get stronger everyday 🌻🌻🌻

[@sharonswisher7274]

Prepping is so much more than what people think. It's for more than just emergencies. It's for feeling accomplished and satisfied knowing that you have put up your own grocery store in your own home. Getting deals, saving money, storing and a variety for your different tastes. I know a woman who only cans stewed tomatoes, nothing else. Ok, if that's what she and her family loves. But, she doesn't believe in storing back food otherwise. Everyone has their own ways/tastes. Great vlog Katie.

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Sharon. Being prepared is wise. Some folks think being prepared is “living in fear” and that’s not the case for most of us. We live in hope. 🌻🌻🌻

[@heathergeyer1780]

Hey Katie dear. So glad y’all had those stores of food. The pandemic definitely did open my eyes. Always did can and such but it wasn’t enough. Prepping isn’t about a zombie apocalypse. Personally I get tired of hearing others say that. I do it because it’s smart, I do it because I can’t always work as many hours (whether due to health or availability of hours) I do it so my family has all the good nourishing foods. I feel so frustrated that you even had to feel compelled to say it, people should mind their business and move along if they have nothing nice to say. As always much love and blessings dear.

[@RowesRising]

Thank you Heather!! I want to bring awareness that’s prepping us smart for many reasons. Thank you for watching!!!🌻🌻🌻

[@lindadelzer423]

We just had 14 inches of snow, then below zero temps for a week. I'm so glad I "prepped" for situations like that. Thank you for pointing out it doesn't have to be an apocalypse or anything so drastic to make it a good idea to prep.

[@RowesRising]

I think a lot of folks think is “crazy prepper mentality. Really we just want what we need when we need it and it’s not easily available 😅 We aren’t crazy- we are practical 🌻🌻🌻🌻

It's hard work and it makes me happy and hopeful to hear of this sort of pantry preparedness. I sometimes wonder what will my pantry look like, and how will I use it, when I'm down to 2, or will I have the inspiration and desire if it's down to 1 in my lifetime. Ur very strong and skilled. Tfs 🩵

[@janicew6222]

You weren't weak, you were wise to take your neighbor up on that great egg buy. My parents went thru the depression, mother said she would put rice in water, the bugs would rise to the top and she would scoop off, then rinse the rice and cook it. Food was so scarce and nothing was wasted, glad I never had to do this lol. Blessings.

[@RowesRising]

Oh that’s a great tip!! Thank you!! I’ll remember if I ever encounter them again. I wasn’t sure what to do. It was around 5lbs of rice I dumped. 🥴

[@lynhanna917]

Very well said. After a divorce there was a period of time where i had no money for food. I bought a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and that's what i ate for months. I couldn't afford, tea or coffee so i drank hot water and when things got a little easier i was able to start a stockpile and i call it my grocery store. We had two weeks of -40 weather and i needed nothing from the stores. Coffee on the shelves and coffee cream in the deep freeze. I was set and very glad i had my preps.

[@RowesRising]

That must have been very difficult for you. I know it was really hard on my mother to make ends meet and care for 7 kids after her divorce. Sometimes the lessons we learn are tough but in the end we grow stronger. 🌻🌻🌻

I’ve been where you are on job loss and instability. We made it with the extra storage we had on food and many other items. I’m a firm believer in being prepared! Thank you for the message of preparedness.

[@JamieC444]

I truly believe that the Lord led you to do such. You had very good discernment and obedience. I’m so thankful that he does get involved and leads us and gives us provision. I also believe the pandemic showed us alot. We definitely don’t need to take stuff for granted.

You are proving to be a good homemaker by what you do, I am praying for your healing to manifest!

[@ohiofarmgirl3384]

Thanks Katie for explaining why we prep even though you shouldn’t of had to. It irks me when some comment that preppers are hoarders or expecting an apocalypse. I know exactly why I prep and it’s a comfort knowing we have supplies put away. What’s happening in the USA is just mind boggling and I can’t understand how we got here or why it was even allowed to escalate to this point. It’s so disheartening to know we haven’t even reached the peak of this madness yet. I feel it’s going to get worse, unfortunately.

[@mountainviewlifePNW]

We lost power here in the ice storm for 7 days. Thankfully we were prepared and it wasn’t to hard on us but looking at it as good practice. Our down fall was having enough fuel for the generator for that many days and having things like flashlights in a central location so your not searching for it when you need it.

[@RowesRising]

Those are excellent takeaways! I need to get some fuel for our generator and organize flashlights etc. we have a few battery powered safety lights and a battery power bank as well we keep charged. So many things to consider but the basics we must stay on top of😅

[@ColleenH38]

Congratulations on reaching 33K subscribers!!! The weather that your area just experienced is exactly why people should be stocked up and prepared. We had frozen roads last week. Right before it hit, I heard several people say "I'd better go get stuff to last two or three days since we won't be able to go anywhere." I just looked at my husband and we were both thinking how insane!!!!! I went to the grocery store and grabbed four gallons of milk and that was it. I cannot imagine living like so many people do by going to the store daily or never having a stocked pantry. We have always liked to be prepared but the pandemic certainly made us step things up. Food security is just as important as financial security. The tips you share about properly storing dry goods is very important as well. Have a great day Katie. And you look especially beautiful today.

[@RowesRising]

While watching your video, it reminded me that I should check my grains that I stored for possible bug infestation. I don’t think I froze everything in the beginning because I didn’t have freezer space. I need to vacuum seal a lot of my grains and put oxygen absorbers in them. I remember putting Bay leaves in them so hopefully they will be OK Katie I always enjoy your videos.😀

I'd be interested to see what kinds of foods you prep for a winter storm. When we have severe storms knock out our power, I feel like we get sick of the food fast and feel yucky because we have things like home baked fruit breads and then pantry things like peanut butter, crackers, pretzels, and depending on what part of the month, apples. I never know what better things to prepare that will be good if the power goes out.

[@RowesRising]

We have canned meats and stews so reheating those on the camp stove works well. We also have freeze dried meals prepped like chili and soups. Plus canned fruits and soups etc. we also have a generator so if I wanted to bake bread with the bread machine we can turn that on for a few hours. Thankfully we haven’t run out of power this year. I may have to do a few days of “power outage meals” that’s a great idea!! Thanks for watching 🌻🌻🌻

[@justpatty7328]

​@@RowesRisingYes, a preparation video showing how-to make meals without power. And another video on making nutritious meals in jars.

@justpatty7328 I have lots of canning videos in a playlist.

[@emmalouise7837]

Having a stocked pantry is so useful. I grew up in poverty and we always ran out of food. When I’m able to afford it I want to stock up on food. I want to get some things in 5kg & 10kg bags. It’s a shame canning isn’t popular here in England, I would love to do it but can’t find equipment.

[@RowesRising]

I lived in the UK- we had those jars with the glass lids and separate seals- I got a few from a local hardware store. But you are right- not much canning going on with the metal lids there. I believe I bought American canning supplies on the US military base in the craft store. You can also repurpose jars and lids that previously held contents. The seals need to be malleable- not dry or cracked. Many folks re use store bought recycled jars and lids with success. But- there are strict regulations here and it’s not advised to do so. The Amish and Mennonites re use jars and lids without issue- as I have too.then you can water bath can anything with the right amount of time- the Amish even water bath can meat but it takes 3 hours in a waterbath canner😅

[@Dlward_16]

I prep cause I work part-time and my husband is retired and a seasonal worker. So from Mid December to Mid March that extra income is no longer available. I work from March to September to stock our freezer and pantry so during that time of low income, we have food to eat.

[@RowesRising]

This sounds similar to our situation. My husbands new career is seasonal where we live now. I can’t work outside the home case I have to care for him and the homeschooled kids. I’m so thankful I started this channel in hopes to bridge the financial gap for our family and this channel is decent part time pay. It’s helped us so much!! Thank you for being here.

Hey, you ever tried making rice crispies with your rice? I had 2 video's this weeks showing how to make them. So yes, I'm going to try that and I'm all done buying peanut butter and just making it with peanuts and some sort of oil. Still wish i could magically morph y'all here to boil sap with us this year. Everyone is getting ready because we are having a warm spell this week after a good hard freeze. Sap will be running so much. Eeeks, so excited because we are down to 1.5 gallons. I love all this making or baking from scratch, even IF i never get to leave the kitchen. 😂😂😂

[@RowesRising]

I’m done buying rancid peanut butter too😅 And no I haven’t tried rice crispies- I’m curious though!! I wish we had maple trees!!

[@minnamae25]

@@RowesRising This family is addicted to peanut butter. My one son wants a PB&J everyday for lunch and the only thing that's store bought is the PB. It's the last tub we have from when i stocked up 2 yrs ago. I absolutely hate running out of stuff, so that's why we keep things stocked up. Nothing like wanting to cook or bake something and I don't have what i need. Plus we did it because we knew the prices were going to skyrocket. Seriously though, when YAHUAH created this earth, He provided everything we need, we just need to look for it, that's why we have books upon books about foraging where in the area we live in. I wish the whole world was blessed with sugar maple tree's. Boiling is so much fun, especially when you have a bunch of people collecting the sap, standing around bullshitting for hours on end while it is boiling down. It's a lot of work and very time consuming, but boiling sap on a flat pan with wood makes the most delicious syrup ever. What y'all get in stores doesn't even compare to wood burning sap. You ever make it to PA, I'll take you around to all the sugar shannies. They also make a whole bunch of goodies out of maple syrup.

No I haven’t because we got rid of our chickens 2 years ago. You have to have perfectly clean fresh eggs with the bloom intact on the shell. So it’s not feasible for me to do with eggs I get from another source. I have a freeze dryer so that works best for me to long term store eggs in powder form.

I think those of us with chronic illness become "preppers" out of necessity, if we weren't already stocking up. We never know when a flare up could knock us down. We are a single income family with 4 teens still at home. Preparing for emergency times is necessary.

[@RowesRising]

We sure do!! Between our bad backs and autoimmune issues it’s just best to stay close to home as much as possible🌻🌻🌻

[@antoinettemarie-stautertri4010]

Agreed! I'm a disabled stay at home mom and my husband has the only income. I lost my preps this last summer when we moved from California to South Carolina, but between my mom and my sister in law they definitely appreciated reaping the benefit, sister has 5 kids and lost her job, and my mom lost her father in law and her husband lost his job shortly before we moved. It was so rewarding blessing them , but I'm slowly trying to rebuild a small stock pile! It is honestly is a major stress to not have one, and my kids are learning the hard way now of why I kept at least 2 months' worth of dry or canned goods before! Living with a small shopping trip only twice a month and having to seriously budget every purchase is truly teaching my 11 year old a life lesson. Also, I make her help build the shopping list, work the budget, check prices, and keep track of the calculator at the store, now. The impulse buying still is strong in her, and it's a hard habit to break! 😂

My grandparents grew up during the Depression, so my grandfather would stock pile items, which drove us mad! We understood why he did it, but it wasn't entirely logical. If there were a handful of guests coming over and any of them were having tea, he'd need to go to the shops and get another 2L - 3L bottle, despite there being a near-full one in the fridge and us telling him that people only put a splash of milk in, which would barely make a dent in the milk bottle. Of course, if he saw me now and how much milk I have (frothed) with my coffee, he'd be freaking out and buying 9L+ per week, if not per day! (Probably a little bit of an exaggeration, but you get the gist.) 😂 COVID has really changed things, though, and now, having gone through a food shortage, I understand him a lot better. If I had enough room, I'd be stocking up and creating a long-term pantry, despite living a 2-minute drive from the local shopping centre with three supermarkets inside! I have very limited storage, and the bedrooms are already spoken for, so I'm unable to really do that. As you said, it's not fear of an apocalypse, but not being able to access food at the supermarket due to unforeseen circumstances - an injury, the car being out of commission, public transport being down, there's another shortage at the store...

[@RowesRising]
