I am in Florida and don't want to stock food in the hot garage. I put extra foods in bins. I number each bin and write down on a sheet of paper all that is in the bin and tape it on the lid so I know what each bin contains. I also wrote down each bins contents on a sheet of paper and put each bin content copied into a dollar store three ring note book with all the contents of what bin it is in and what I have stored. I store the bins in my closets . This works for me in the heat of Florida as I rather store in the house where it is temperature controlled. Paper products and cleaners such as bleach, soap products etc are stored in the garage.

That’s an impressive stockpile. Well thought out. I really don’t prep but I have started buying extra staples. And I have always put out a decent sized garden. My thought is that having all of what you have is great. But if we are talking survival, we don’t need a stockpile of every food item that we like. I’m not criticizing. I’m just saying that having all of our favorite sauces and dressings are really just a bonus. And if we have peanut butter and jelly and bbq sauce etc, we will be getting more than enough sugar for energy. I’ve not been watching for very long so this may have been talked about already, but I think a great way that all of us can be saving money on food is to start fasting one meal a day. Most Americans are overweight as it is. It would also condition our bodies and our minds to live on less. One thing I did during the pandemic was to walk 3 miles every day. I kept my immune system up and my mind clear of all of the stress. I know that’s a bit off subject but I is a way to keep us from needing so much medication by keeping our bodies healthy.

Yes, you can cut the firestarters to make them go further, my mom used to do it. I make my own firestarters with shredded paper in wax paper cups that I add melted wax in. Your wonky soap shreds might be usable for dish water washing too. When I have a lot of soap slivers, I "melt them" in a jar with water and have washed dishes with the melt water. You have done really well for having recently moved, starting the pantry again. You might look at the thrift or garage sales for a chafing dish holder to put the sterno cans in that has a base for the pot to sit on top or have a safe method already to go for use for safety. I didn't see any water stored? Extra supplies for the oil lamps are a great idea, I will get some. I hope we get another tour when the new shelves are in. I would store more milk powder/creamer to use with the cocoa powder to make hot cocoa as in winter if there is no electricity I think you will be wanting more hot drinks. Those cheap spaghetti sauces in the can work great as a soup base for ministrone. Love what you do! Thanks for sharing.

I use the plastic grocery bags as poop bags when I clean the litterbox

[@sherryreed6135]

Wow. Lots of things I never thought of. Thank you

[@gailsfoster3406]

I keep my flours, sugar,. Rice and pasta in 5 gallon food safe buckets, with gamma lids. We live in the country, in an old farmhouse. I worry about mice and bugs. Couldn't keep things in bags like that. Your supply is good. I would keep alot more white vinegar, can be used for so much

[@cathyhardin6543]

How do you get the smell out of kitty litter buckets?

[@JNoMooreNumbers]

No smell. Just clay. I just wash and air dry to make sure completely dry. They're pretty air tight. I used them for used kitty litter before and no smell came out. Why buy buckets if you use Tidy Cat litter? A nice bucket.

You are well prepared for most everything that might come to being. You will eat well for sure.

[@tonideluca8569]

Thank you for showing your stock pile. My daughter had a bad storm where she lives Saturday afternoon. Trees down power outages. It’s been 72 hours and no power and no estimated time either. I am lucky to have power an hour away. I told her she needs to prepare for stuff like this.

[@nvalles2565]

She needs at least a small solar generator with at least one panel. I have a foldable one.

[@tonideluca8569]

@@nvalles2565 they ended buying a generator. They had no power for eight days. There is still about 400 people without power. It’s been two weeks

On my potato flakes Mac and cheese and so much more to extend its life. I opened the boxes and put in my seal a meal. Added on dry 02 pouch and then sealed them. And put them back in the original Box

Love your stockpile

[@vickieharris3850]

Hey tawra..you do you..you don't have to answer rude comments from ignorant people..us smart ones or ones that learn from your channel..we gets it. Once of my favorite things that I learned from you was an ice cream recipe that was my favorite..I think it was make 2 ingredient ice cream..but I have some filed recipe books I wrote that recipe down in..last summer I made some and one of my adult sons loved it. And your brownie recipe was great..I had made it several times. You try to help people..and sometimes it be some idiots come on here that couldn't boil water..they just can't cook or won't bother to learn stuff and they waste their time by putting down people who want to learn. Keep doing what you doing..tawra.

[@ALETA-SUE]

Thanks for the info. IT helps to see ideas for what to stock up on. One of my next project is to organize my smaller stock pile because I’m finding it hard to find things. We will come to your house if we need cereal 😊

[@larryware1]

Wow! I'm so impressed by your set up and organization. Hope and I really need to up our game on meal prep. Our pantry is SO much smaller. We could probably survive for about 2 - 3 months on what we have. You are well prepared and have thought everything out thoroughly. Love the neat, simple arrangement of your pantry. You're inspiring us, Mike & Tawra. (Also love the humor in your presentation. That always helps during these challenging times.) God Bless!

[@andreaarias2085]

Thank you Tara and Mike!

[@wendyvermette9095]

Good choice with the alcohol. You can also use it to sterilize surgical equipment and your hands. You should also consider over canning with your rice. Only white rice though because brown rice has oil in it. You can do the same with your dry cereals too. Dry beans can be oven canned too. They shouldn't be stored in their plastic bags.

[@pen5532]

Thanks for sharing. Seeing your setup gave me some ideas for my stuff. I really like the shelving! 😀

[@angelikabertrand4045]

To avoid sugar flour, rice,pan cake mix from spoiling. Please use 5 gal food graded buckets,mylar bags..Its how I done my..

[@trishoscribe4798]

Newbie Question: I have some bakery food safe buckets and Home Depot's Leaktite screw top lids. Can I store beans with oxygen absorbers (900cc) and still skip the mylar bag? Thank you!

[@namehere4954]

@@mush3199 No, you're not going to change moisture content of the beans with oxygen absorbers. Oxygen absorbers only absorb oxygen which is 21% of the air, 78% is nitrogen. To OP, yes you can use bucket with oxygen absorbers but the bucket is still porous and will slowly leak over time so you may not get super long-term storage but yes that option (bucket w/absorbers) is better than plain bucket.

oh my gosh... what a steel on the stainless racks... I have bought about 10 of those.... and they are a lot more than that... congrats

I would like to add that filling water bottles with just plain tap water using water in place of toilet paper is a great saving. For those who have a problem with touching themselves, just make a small hole near the lid to turn your water bottle into a portable bidet. In addition you can save your pee i n larger plastic bottles for future fertilizer. Poop can be strained out with a small strainer an added to an enclosed bucket with pine pellets to keep down the smell. Pine pellets are also excellent litter box material. Both of our waste materials are excellent to add to the compost pile. Which we can all start now in preparation for our new world where food distribution is not so globalized. There is a great book called human u r e by David Jenkins. In my system, you can use your toilet the regular way but not have to flush near as often. Great for drought-prone areas.

How are you

[@kylawoffinden3972]

Than you so much for all the info. You talked about some things I hadn’t thought of or didn’t know. BTW, welcome to Wyoming! Got all your cookbooks, but I need to get another (3rd one!) Gluten-free cookbook…actually, I’ll probably get two since I have a five year old nephew who is gluten-free. His mom could use it!! Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@donnalovintexas8760]

I just ordered a 3 books. We are thinking my granddaughter is gluten sensitive. So I bought the book to try the recipes and see what I need to store for her.

[@nan-ban3891]

You are so fortunate to have the space to store your supply of everything. You're all set!!
