Good video. I would like to mention a couple of things. You can in fact store imitation maple syrup indefinitely. It contains sugar/high fructose corn syrup. The other ingredients are preserved by them. My wife and I just tried some plain Mrs. Buttersworth that was 12 years old and it tasted as good as just bought. Vanilla and other extracts are tinctures. Meaning they have a smal amount of alcohol in them. Also remember that sugar can be used as an antibiotic. Sugar packed in a wound can keep infection at bay. And Vinegar needs to be the high % type as it will hold up longer. And one other item that I wouldn't consider a forever food but for 10-20 years is Canned meat products. We have eaten them that were 12 yearspadt the expiration date and they were as good ad newly purchased would be.. I've been doing this stuff for over 40 years, long before it was ever called prepping. It was a good video for sure. Thanks and good luck on your endeavors.

Put in a couple of tablespoons in a clogged toilet and wait a couple minutes. Follow with 1-2 cups vinegar and wait 2-3 hours. Follow with boiling hot water to flush. I don't think iodine causes salt to go bad; the iodine just breaks down and becomes less viable. If you have a sinus infection, boil distilled water, let it cool to slightly warm. Take one cup water to ¼ teaspoon UNIODIZED salt and mix. Administer drops to your sinuses with an eye dropper. Disclaimer: consult your doctor if this is okay for you.

Just make sure that you are storing any pasta in an airtight container and not just the packaging it comes in.

Drink a bit of vodka immediately after and it should prevent food poisoning.

When it comes to salt, one way to save space for your salt storage is to get slabs of salt, it's in it's densest state when in natural slabs (I know himalayan salt slabs can be gotten don't know if white salt is like that) so takes up a lot less space.

Pink and black sea salt has a ton of beneficial minerals your body needs. It's much better than plain table salt, which is only sodium.

[@lonewanderer3603]

Christopher Kupetz Not specifically. I usually get it in the food section at Ross, of all places. It's really cheap. You can also probably get it in the bulk section of your grocery store. I don't know if you have Winco, but it's really cheap there. It should say Himalayan pink salt.

LoneWanderer360 true but Iodized table salt helps with Iodine.

[@snuffle2269]

The Himalayan salt has traces of iron in it to give it the pink tone. Sea salt is just as good but an iodized salt is best given the "radiation winds" which will blow across the northern hemisphere. Not sure even that level of iodine will protect the thyroid. Discovered IOSAT tablets don't help older people.

I just learned that opened Aunt Jemima maple syrup in it's orginal package/bottle, again, opened, keeps for at least 5 yrs. It has been sitting up there for 5 yrs, opened but unused (but half used) for 5 yrs and just made pancakes for the first time in 5 yrs and that maple syrup was just like when you first bought it. It's not natural maple syrup as many preach but kept just as well, opened, and in it's orginal bottle. Maple syrup keeps! Maybe natural keeps longer but it keeps regardless! The add water only pancake mix is also 5 yrs old. It's opened and was partly used. It's in it's orginal box and I only took a sticky on one side kind of plastic wrap over the opening and again, was like brand new. That keeps well, as well. I don't know about forever and unopened is absoltuely better and will last longer but wow! And that's just when I had a chance to try it. It could last even longer.

corn starch is also used for clotting blood. Personal experience, after my dog was attacked by a bobcat. the dog had an arterial wound actually shooting blood across the room. Called the vet and he said pack it with corn starch. Took probably half a pound pressed into the wound however, the dog was up and running around the entire next day. took her to the vet Monday morning. The vet washed the cornstarch off, blood started shooting across the room and he was like... I guess it was that bad. He sewed it up and the dog lived for another 5 years. CORN STARCH.
