Storing "Prepper Food" in a Tiny House

[@girfalcon1]

I don't know how this channel took so long to show up in my feed. Literally most videos I watch online are prepping and tiny house videos. So glad you guys blazed that trail ;D

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

I've seen lots of channels that do either prepping or tiny house, but I've never seen any that do prepping while living IN a tiny house.

[@FoxFanable]

Haven't seen quilts made with those patterns since my grandmother died, Elizabeth.....very nice....and thanks for the memory

[@OilysHumbleHome]

Wonderful way you adapted those Thrive rotation racks!

[@DonnaJoshi]

A few years ago we lost our business. I'm so thankful I had put back some food storage. If my husband's unemployment had lasted longer we would have run out. If we had thrive foods they would have lasted longer due to nonspoilage. I will always continue to be prepared for any hardship if possible. It's like a savings, it's there if u need it.

[@charlesbrady2734]

Wife and I really enjoy your channel. I had never heard of Thrive before watching your videos. We just placed our first "test" order through your link. Looking forward to trying it out.

[@maehay4065]

Again I want to thank you for sharing this video with us. I had forgotten the name and I wanted to share with my sister because they moved into a trailer and they're looking for storage under their beds. It was nice to be able to search in your video collection and listen to it for a second time. God bless and keep you and have a wonderful day.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

It sounds perfect for your sister. Glad you found it again. As we do more and more videos, things are harder to find.

[@ALWAYSLIVEIT]

You can grow a lot of veggies in a few inches of soil around the base of your home. A couple of large flower pots next to your entrance steps, hanging flower pots etc. and dehydrated foods would store the same se freeze dried. JOY

[@xanadu1jw]

Ok I realize that your comment is a year old but for anyone else reading this prepping does not mean minimalist. It doesn't exclude being minimalist but doesn't require being that either. Also being minimalist doesn't exclude growing any amount of food you deem needed. Where did you get these ideas from? Being minimalist means getting rid of unneeded or excess and only having what serves you or your family but no strict rules exist. It is for each individual/family to decide what it includes or excludes. And when everything falls apart it will be one of two situations, either local to an area or Armaggedon. In the first situation aide will be forthcoming from government/s eventually as well as marshall laws to enforce behavior so you have to last that long, however long you figure that will be and prep for that amount of time. In the second situation, well it won't last very long at all. And God will be in control of who survives not us.

[@trollbob2900]

Since you own the land, what a bout root cellar for storage? Or, Since it's a trailer, you have space under the trailer between the floor and ground. You can build access doors to this area and store there. You could vent air through the area to keep it from freezing.

[@LenoraForest]

Thanks. I'm a prepper about to move into a tiny house. It does create a challenge.

[@moirakris]

dehydrated foods, if dried then stored properly can last almost as long as freeze dried foods. The best way to store is in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. You can also store them in mason jars with an O2 absorber instead of mylar bags, but it takes up much more room as you are aware. A vacuum sealer will work to keep dehydrated foods good for a couple years but those food saver bags will start to degrade and let air in so mylar or glass is best

[@missgv2192]

you guys are sweet and remind me of my husband and I. Same personalities. stay blessed

[@DraKBC]

Making the most in every space. Good job!

[@amandaraefrederickson8138]

Yes !! mother of two,single and I want a tiny house. Also I'm a prepped so glad to find ya'lls great video. 👍 👌

[@JayP-kd5rc]

Another enjoyable video thanks. I dehydrate, and now that I am older, and the backyard is now woodsy, where it used to be a large garden, I buy frozen veggies while on sale, and dehydrate them. That way you aren't taking up precious freezer space, and they will be good for years. Also buy squash and pumpkins in the fall, cook them and mash to a paste, then dehydrate them and when dry, put them through my blender and blend to a powder. You now have squash and pumpkin powder to keep in a tightly sealed jar. When you want either veggie for dinner, all you need to do is to add hot water and they rehydrate quickly. Delicious! Any veggies you find on sale you can use. Great way to keep these things, and they dehydrate down so much that they don't take up much space. They take up less space than freeze dried, but come back like fresh. You really should look into it. You would probably enjoy it.

[@mariac3370]

Just subscribed to your channel,love to watch you and Elisabeth God bless.

[@william38022]

You know I Kinda just stumbled on your channel by accident really just looking around at different things I'm glad I did you got a good 😊 channel very good videos very informative

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thank you :-)

[@redpill77-q8m]

We live in the tropics and dried and canned food seems to spoil much quicker (humidity) than when we live south and had short summer and cold winters....we do have freeze dried foods stored - so time will tell.

[@aquastone4792]

I've been dehydrating mint since 2014 and kept a small bag of it to see how long it's good for and now 2018 it's still just as good. I tried sun drying the chives and it worked ok but lost too much colour so looked a bit like straw. In 2016 I bought a dehydrator and now do chives, parsley, bay leaves and other herbs with professional results. The herbs from 2016 are still just as good, so 2 years and counting.

[@rosaleeyoder5249]

Just found your channel. I'm totally enjoying your videos. They are very informative. Thanks for sharing the www. sites with us. They are very helpful.

[@LABABYFACE42]

This is so me, like you my family and I live in a tiny house and we are preppers.

[@virginia7191]

You really should consider learning to dehydrate food. It is easy and inexpensive. You can store an amazing amount of food in a very small space.

[@koyuki4848]

Here is an idea for a cheap alternative to the can rotator. Get an office file stand. Make a can size hole at the bottom. Tape the tapering off. Leave space to insert cans from the top. Viola probably cost you the file stand and some duck taped only.

[@Begining2013]

That's a really excellent idea. I'll give that a try. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@joannorris3167]

What kind of office file stand are you talking about?

[@nprosario]

great video! thanks for the tips!! my dream is to one day live off grid and have my own garden. maybe one day we will live out our dream. You guys are certainly educating us! Keep making more videos!!

[@waldmeisterbrehm]

very good ideas... thanks for the input and sharing! greetings from cologne, germany arthur 👍

[@susanpratt4061]

I wish allotments where more available in this country. Would be ideal for those of us who would love to grown fruit and veg, but do not have room to grow a lot of food.

[@marianneoprisko7737]

If you need to have raised beds needing high because bending is tough look online for raised beds made from wood pallets. Four pallets put on edge making a cube. You have a 4 sq foot growth area 6 to 12 inches deep and the sides can have small growth strips 4" x 4' x 4" deep. Line all with grow cloth. Use growth media or lightened soil. It's a small dense growth area. Also Thrive Life is dehydrated food only they go through the mess of harvest, cleanup, cutting and dehydrating.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

+Marianne Oprisko Actually, Thrive Life is mostly freeze dried. There isn't heat used. The ripe food is picked, quickly deep frozen, then moisture is removed in a vacuum. It preserves nutrition, flavor, and color quite well. 😊

[@LynnVids1]

The Wood in pallets, I believe is chemically treated. If so, you don't want it near your food.

[@gladysperez8156]

Thank you for your explanation. We all appreciated.

[@OilysHumbleHome]

We use Thrive Freeze Dried and Dehydrated foods. Love Thrive. Great quality!

[@joyceannwarnkehigh3189]

Best Before date is not the expiration date. It is the date when nutrition & flavour begin to decrease. Most canned goods are edible 2-3 years after that day, and could be good even longer. Pouches are far different.

[@christycritser2819]

prepped, I would love a preparation video on your thrive meat in a meal!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

So far, we only have a few "Cooking with Thrive" videos. But we have two that have Thrive meat in them - the spaghetti, and the omelets. All the meats are chopped up fairly small. There are no steaks or chicken breasts. Take a look at our :Cooking with Thrive" videos on our main page.

[@MsRegina333]

Very helpful video! I am going to check out those racks!

[@JMAAD]

build an on site root cellar or look into the prefab root cellars they have out now..........like the storage bins under the bed great ideas.

[@Wendyann1100]

Lots of good information. Thanks for taking the time to post this. ☺

[@sarahj.5970]

This is so cool...I just love you guys and you have made a wonderful encouraging life example for all of us...who need to improve on just the spiritual support..and how to turn adversity into wonder and new and cozy..your home really beats any floor plan of something that size and you made it your own. Thanks..I was just grasping the concept..or trying to last night on this..I have a whole house mess to fix..just huge clean dump and sort and good food a coming. I decided with the sale, it was worth spreading out 6 months same as cash with not quite half of my food budget,,,for that time...I think I may spend a bit more on food now personally..but not really,,now it is worth buying what I should and more variety.. waste was not my issue just so many less options and now with this..and going 50 50 and slowly building other things..and Thrive as i see how it goes with this,,,,I am so excited...I know it is good enough taste wise from your talks. Just so many simple meat and veggie thinks and different fruit things..so excited. I have never had biscuits and gravy,,,but your grandaughter's cooking with gran was priceless in your sweet kitchen,,,looking so forward to it..I am less gluten..but not no gluten now..feeling silly but so excited,,,I was getting so low in the shelves with the few repeats...and now..to have fresh ready to go chicken and meat protein..the way it lasts and way you can budget,,,after initial stock here so needed it may be less even per month in end and on start of sane rotation..I really could not grasp these too well last night lol...Godspeed.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thanks for your kind words. Enjoy the food. God bless!

[@aquastone4792]

Bill the cans don't have expiry dates on them because they can last a very very long time. The date stamped on cans is a best befor date just to let people know how old it is and how long the canner "guarantees" the quality of the food. The safety is not in question unless it has been improperly canned or the can was compromised. If a can is bulging then most likely the bacterium botulinum has contaminated the contents and produced toxin. However, botulinum toxin is heat labile, so if the contents are properly cooked for long enough the toxin is destroyed and the food can be safely eaten. The Frobisher expedition that got stuck in Arctic ice were able to survive the botulinum until they ran out of wood to burn.

[@OilysHumbleHome]

Definitely a challenge to store prepping supplies in a smaller home...espeially a tiny house I am sure! Great ideas!

[@stattoo32]

The big difference between the store bought cans and home canning is, the store cans will last longer than a human will and home canned foods last usually 1-5 years. The date stamp is for stock tracking and they really do not have to be rotated at all. That info comes straight from a Campbell's' Rep I spoke with in a grocery store. If you think devilled ham is gross try Thrive's meatless proteins, nasty. Their veggies are awesome though! Coolest bed ever!!!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

If you're talking about Thrive's TVP, textured vegetable protein, I agree. I don't like them much either. TVP is in the process of being discontinued. But Thrive's real meat is awesome.

[@stattoo32]

Tinyhouse Prepper Oohhhhh, I will have to try the real meat, thank you!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yeah, the funny thing about Thrive's real meat is that it, um... tastes like real meat!

[@rowane6838]

Even If you don't Have a garden...you can buy fruits/veggies on sale and dehydrate them....stored in glass jars (or shrink wrap plastic) they will last for years without losing nutrition. You can also use the dehydrator for meat...make jerky.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We use Thrive Life freeze dried food. It tastes much better than dehydrated, and it's healthier too. We have many videos on our channel about Thrive Life foods.

[@rowane6838]

Tinyhouse Prepper I use my dehydrated veggies all of the time...and honestly they taste good to me! One of the standards I make is a dried mirepoix mix (carrots, celery, onion) and I throw that into soups, stuffing, saute and stew). I also dehydrate sliced and diced mushrooms, make mushroom powder. Dehydrated fennel is excellent thrown in the slow cooker with chicken or rabbit. So many uses plus it keeps veggies going to waste.. If I buy something and for some reason I won't be able to get to use it before it goes bad...i throw it in the dehydrator. Green cabbage is excellent dried too and rehydrates easily for a warming cabbage and noodles (add some fennel too) or veg soup. I have homesteaded partially off grid....raised and slaughtered my own livestock and hunted.. The possibilities are endless!

[@ladytsadventures8033]

I know you don't have much room on your property, but is it possible to build a small shed, to store the thrive foods? That would cut the cost of renting. Just an idea and I'm sure you thought of it already.

[@waltersimpson5322]

15 to 25 years on dehydrated foods

[@justinavery9793]

Hey bill, huge fan of your channel. I have been real curious about how the house is setup/fixed to the ground. Maybe as a suggestion/request you could make a vid on that. I'm interested in purchasing an older model park model mobile like yours and setting it up on my property. Do they take ground tensioners like typical mobile homes? Just wondering. Anyhow keep up the good work you two!! God bless.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

It's been sitting here since the 70's. It's just sitting up on blocks. It's not 'attached" to anything. Up here in the northeast, ties downs are not really an issue, since we don't have hurricanes or tornados. By the time a hurricane reaches us from the coast, there nothing left except rain. And we're too high for flooding. (unless Noah was here with us).

[@ronerkkila8245]

Best by date is a freshness date.....theoretically canned food will last a decided or more but the nutritional value and of course taste drops off. So yeah you will want to use and rotate your store bought canned food if for no other reason than taste and full nutritional value.

[@marlahlavac3461]

Are you going to create a garden for prepping ?

[@debramedina9347]

Nice storage setup!!

[@christycritser2819]

thank you I'll look for them

[@maryjane-vx4dd]

I would like to have 3 of those roller shelves.1 for fruits, 1 for veggies and 1 for meats. I have 1. I freeze dry my own. This give me a bigger variety of what I like

[@debsvista2281]

Very informative. Any suggestions on how to store during the summer months? I live in the central valley of California, in an older home that does not have central air or a basement. During the summer months my home can get over 90 degrees. I'm on a limited income and can't afford to keep the evaporative cooler on when I'm not home.

[@soisitimpossible]

I like the concept of tiny house prepping as I've never seen a video on that before. But the disadvantage for alot on dried food is the need for excessive amounts of water. If one is in a colder climate it may be a better option but if one is in a warmer climate go for the cans. Quick easy and if needs be no cooking required! Just heavy. If it's a power outage no worries but if shtf actually ever happened dried goods are the way to go cause one would have to stay mobile to stay alive I think.

[@bjornmundt5801]

to prep? learn to cook with only basic ingredients, such as flour, vegt., pasta, rice and yeast. Save money + eat healthy.

[@geekchaser]

Friendly HELLO to you two! Completely respectable Living scenario that I too wish to do one day. Is there any chance you could do an actual Thrive food review? They have cheap prices and I am interested. Thank you in advance and should you need a favor from MN, let me know!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We have done MANY Thrive videos. Here is our "Cooking with Thrive" playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLD231j5QApVJw2Hn9cs11LgY34YOOvQyD And here is our "Why we use Thrive" playlist. kzbin.info/aero/PLD231j5QApVKcv_SNYblmALn8KwQnJFq- These two playlists have LOTS of info about Thrive.

[@geekchaser]

Thanks much!

[@iauraha]

The only canned food I'd be actually worried about for the "best by" date is tomatoes o something overly acidic; the BPA lining in most cans can be eaten by the acidic food and possibly explode (canned tomato did explode on my husband years ago)

[@IWH777]

QUESTION: IF SHTF [[STUFF HITS THE FAN]] SHOULD HAPPEN AND EVERYTHING IS CUT OFF AND END OF THE WORLD HAPPENS HOW WILL YOU GET ACCESS TO MORE OF THE THRIVE CANNED GOODS TO REPLACE WHAT IT IS YOUR USING EVERYDAY??? IF YOU HAVE X AMOUNT OF THAT KIND OF FOOD THEN YOU WILL ONLY HAVE X AMOUNT OF TIME IN WHICH TO REPLACE IT.... WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THAT SITUATION?? BLESSINGS & BE HOPE FILLED FRANKI

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We are working on having two years of Thrive food stored. If a crash happens, I think the recovery will take less than two years. if it takes longer than that, then the WHOLE WORLD is in serious trouble.

[@grateful1929]

Tinyhouse Prepper Elizabeth, how did you find out you were Gluten intolerant? What were your symptoms? My granddaughter is having an endoscopy done, this month. She has very bad stomach issues. I truly believe she is gluten intolerant.

[@denahogue8196]

So you guys prep regarding thoughts of like a market crash? That would definitely be much easier to prep for and recover from than a nuclear war. Thoughts on prepping for a nuclear war? It's looking more and more like it's going to be a soon reality. Do you guys worry about it? Thanks. :)

[@martadolls]

What are the measurements for your under bed storage? (for each cubbie)

[@truthinspector4430]

[@katemiller9003]

Dehydrating 5-7 years in ball jars with oxygen absorbers, food must come to the top absorber in last, and I seal the jars with a food saver attachments.

[@good4damoney]

thank-you for making this video. It was helpful

[@waltersimpson5322]

You do use dehydrated foods look on your cans of thrive foods

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

A few Thrive products are dehydrated, but most are freeze dried.

[@LeeEngle]

Bill - go to your store on line - Thrive specifies which ones are freeze dried, the rest are dehydrated - e.g. carrot dices, mashed potatoes, chopped onions are all dehydrated

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Yes, a few things ARE dehydrated. But the vast majority are freeze dried. And some, like potatoes and chopped oinions, they have both.

[@devonswink9627]

You can say preserved foods instead of home canned

[@william38022]

That can shelf is very 😎

[@reluctantvKat37]

What about extreme heat? If we get thrive and store it in our metal shed on shelves, won't the shed heat up too high in the summer and spoil the food? Thank you. :)

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thrive is not effected by extreme cold, but it does not do well in extended heat above 90 degrees. It will not spoil. It should still be edible. But the nutritional value and the flavor will degrade over time. It is not recommended.

[@reluctantvKat37]

How do you keep it from getting to hot, if you store it in a metal storage locker? (thank you) :) Like the rental storage type.

[@grandmapatty1493]

One of the problems that I have not seen discussed is how does one prepare for treating heartburn if the grid goes down. I have been on proton pump inhibitors for at least 20 years. I have been weening myself off using Alka Seltzer and drinking kefir water. Today I ate hot dogs with baked beans, and I am suffering. The kefir didn't help, nor did the Alka Seltzer. I just broke down and reached for the Nexium. I love pizza, chilli, and spaghetti, but they are notorious at triggering heartburn. I need long term storage papaya (I am allergic to pineapples). Most digestive enzymes are made from or made with pineapples. If you are able to suggest foods to the Thrive Co. please ask for papaya. I can't find it freeze dried. I loved your solutions for can rotation. I am overwhelmed with storage problems, and I am looking for solutions. Thanks so much!!!

[@grandmapatty1493]

***** I have some licorice root. I had purchased it for tea, and somehow I got out of the habit. I will make up a brew (Mountain Rose Herbs). Thanks for the tip!!!

[@garyjohn316]

+Grandma Patty I used to take Prevacid for 5 years and then one day took some Tums and its been about three years since I have taken any prescription medicine, also peppermints are good.

[@grandmapatty1493]

Gary H I've been through the tums and Rolaids too. Sometimes though it is just torture until the offending foods find their way out. The good news is I did find some freeze dried papaya through Harmony House. It's not packaged for long term storage, but I can break it down into half pint jars with oxygen absorbers. I have a vaccucanner, but it looks like a lot of work to set it up. I'm glad the tums are working for you. Long term use of proton pump inhibitors wreak havoc on the kidneys. It also interferes with the body's ability to absorb nutrients. Thanks for responding!!!

[@jamieshawgandy1175]

Hydrocloric acid

[@luciparadise6781]

Canned food is great for prepping, but it's really not the healthiest option outside of emergencies.

[@benzchannel73]

I agree about canned chicken being gross. if you cook it in a skillet and season it that will improve it

[@moniquepowell6322]

I like would like this for my Tiny house

[@marthagonzalez5528]

Thanks 👍🤗🙋

[@Ladyshystar]

Bill, you need to educate yourself on dehydrating. The shelf life is 25 years. I can my meats, and dehydrate my veggies. Works great. :-)

[@seecanon5840]

With canned goods from the store you get the moisture or fluid in the can. You can save this and use this with your dehydrated food. When rehydrating save the fluid you used to rehydrate for soup or stew. Dehydrated foods do not rehydrate instantly it takes 10 to 20 minutes. Meats longer. I like dehydrated foods and do a lot of it canned and sealed in mason jars.

[@joyliedtke5551]

I'm frustrated by the large cans Thrive has and that they are not full. It doesn't make sense to me to store them that way.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

They are full when they pack them, but the product settles during transit. There is nothing that they can do about that.

[@PreppingAngel]

It's not an expiration date. It's a sell by date. The food is good as long as the cans are good. Not rusted, etc

[@craigconway4093]

I don't know why that's not called "jarring" :)

[@marthagonzalez5528]

There not cans ?

[@lylaschmooz]

I've been looking at these shelves, however it does not state what they are made out of. They look like they are plastic and the black ones look like metal. Do you know if they are plastic or metal. I have some plastic (not thrive) and they don't stay together well so I'm looking for metal. Thanks for your time and comments:)

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

The smaller ones, called the "Cansolidator" can fit inside of a kitchen cabinet (check the dimensions to make sure), and they are made of plastic. We have been using them for awhile and have never had problems with them coming apart or breaking. Nor have I heard of other people having problems with that. The large floor models have a metal framework and the can tracks inside are tough plastic. We've been using them for several years, and they are very sturdy. Never an issue with them breaking or coming apart. Here is a video that I did to build and review one of these racks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3q2loCKgMuMd68 And here is a link to the racks on our Thrive website. bkeller.thrivelife.com/all-products/shelving.html

[@PreppingOhio]

Great ideas!

[@autosalvage]

We enjoy your videos. Please take a look at our new journey that has begun off grid and feel free to message and give us tips on what to do. Thank you!

[@cat8469]

thanks for sharing!!...:)

[@gilwilliams9266]

The prices put it way out of my reach. I'll have to stick to regular can food.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thrive Life food is actually CHEAPER than the grocery store! Comparing the cost of Thrive Life straight across to grocery store prices will almost always SEEM like Thrive costs more. BUT, there is one major component to the formulae that almost everyone misses. It's spoilage. Waste. According to a Harvard study, the average family throws away 25-40% of the food that they purchase, due to spoilage. Either it spoils in the fridge before they can use it, or they cook too much and then throw away the leftovers 2 weeks later. THE MOST EXPENSIVE FOOD YOU CAN BUY IS THE FOOD THAT YOU THROW AWAY! And Thrive Life completely eliminates waste! So you need to realize that you must ADD at least 25% to the cost of grocery store food if you want to compare it to the cost of Thrive! Since you will throw away 25% of grocery store food, you have to buy 25% MORE. This makes the cost of Thrive comparable or even CHEAPER than the grocery store. Then, add in the extra convenience and the better nutritional content of Thrive food, and it becomes a no-brainer. Why doesn't everyone buy Thrive?! LOL Most people look at the cost of individual servings in order to compare prices. And like I said, this ignores the spoilage issue. The better way to compare cost is to look at the amount that you spend on groceries on a MONTHLY basis. People who track their monthly grocery budget over a period of months are all reporting that they are saving money every month using Thrive. This is because they don't have to buy as much food because they are not throwing away any food due to spoilage. There was a study done a few years ago at the Univ of Utah. They studied 156 families of four. They found that any family of four that used Thrive Life in at least 50% of their daily cooking saved, on average, $150 per month!

[@kevnrob1]

Just curious, what are you prepping for? Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, but I just found these videos.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

+Kevin H We have not done a video on this yet, but we are planning to soon. Several reasons we are prepping, but one major one is that we are expecting a total collapse of the dollar (not just a downturn). This deficit spending CANNOT continue. The dollar will collapse and it will probably be a worldwide collapse because of the interdependent world currencies and economies and the debt of the European Union. There's more to it than that, but that's one of the main reasons.

[@kevnrob1]

+Tinyhouse Prepper (Live simple. Live free) Thank you for the prompt reply. We are enjoying your videos and look forward to more.

[@Saunders7]

very cool

[@texas_sunflower3623]

Do you pay lot rent in your trailer park? Do they allow you to create small gardens or could you maybe have a garden in pots?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We own our land.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We own the lot we live on. Gardens are certainly allowed, though I have no desire to garden

[@thesurvivalist.]

A Tower Garden only use a 4’ foot print, and you can grow plenty food in it, and it uses 90% less water and grows 1/3 faster than soil gardens!

[@sosteve9113]

good idea my friend atb steve

[@agrimonyscrafts2089]

I was watching your video and I know if you got any info about dehydrating but I know a couple who do a lot of dehydrating and have done it for quite a while.Their youtube is calledOurHalfAcreHomestead. Check them out they will be glad to help you out.

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

why do you do this prepper food.. are you a long way from shops?? I am not in the US. However i have been through a few cyclones and do similar things. Is thrive only a US product

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

We prep to be prepared for any emergency (like cyclones - hurricanes), but the main reason is that we are expecting a collapse of the dollar. This trillion dollar deficit spending of the US gov't CANNOT be sustained. If the US continues on this course, the collapse is inevitable. Also with the debt of European gov'ts, it could be a world-wide economic collapse. If that happens, the grocery stores will be stripped bare in a matter of hours and there could be food riots in the streets. That's why we prep. Thrive is available in the US, Canada, and Japan.

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Hi, this time it is Elizabeth. Your name is so pretty. What country are you from? :-)

Does thrive life take ebt

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Sorry, they do not. Debit or credit card only

[@MaineGalVal]

Hey Bill, do you know if they ship internationally?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

Thrive does business in the USA, Canada, and Japan

[@MaineGalVal]

Does that mean they will ship to Australia?

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

No. USA, Canada and Japan only. Sorry

That's too bad. I know a lot of other people in my area of like-mind who would love to use these products.

if you want to know shelf life for dehydrated food so to Starry Hilders website. She does it all.

[@zairdawn4622]

I got a question so with Thrive if you decided to do the consultant starter pack how long do they give you to try out the products in it before you turn around sales? I was debating getting the 107.00 pack or Going with Starter pack at 300.00 because either way I wanted to buy it for my family and to be honest I would be spending about that anyway. I wanted to try it out and then get my feel for it and then eventually do the consultant lifestyle. What do you think would be my best option?

There are no minimum sales requirements. Don’t worry about how soon you have to make a sale. The only requirement to remain as an active consultant is to place a personal order on the Delivery Service for at least $50/month.

I already signed up under you both on their web site so you know this. I want them to know I wanted to buy because of you both. I never would have liked it without your desire and love for it. So if you need to contact me and would like to talk about it you can reach me at [e-mail] and then I'll either call you directly if that is ok with you. Thanks again for all the help.

You are a prepper on your own land and you don't have a garden?

Their property is very small and they have large trees that shade most of what they have.. He's explained in other video's why growing his own is not an option.
