UK Prepper's Pantry Tour - Organising The Food Supplies -

Do you want to see what I've got in my prepping pantry? In this video I show you as I organised and store my prep supplies. I have had so many people ask to see my prepper store that I decided to show you as I re-organise it. #costoflivingcrisis #prepping #shtf
These are the shelves I bought from Amazon UK amzn.to/3Js8Io7
In this video I explain how I sold some of my furniture to buy prepping food. • I Sold My Furniture To...

I find it safer to put the toilet rolls on the top and the heavier items on the bottom shelf. It stabilizes the shelf having the heavy stuff lower and the toilet paper won't dent your head if it falls off.

[@kiddlesnmore2]

I love your comment “I like to stand in here cause it makes me happy”. Whenever I get discouraged or sad about something, I stand in my pantry and it makes me happy. 😊 I love how you’re organizing your preps. I use file cabinets for some of my bagged or packaged items. If you ever need a little more storage space, you could add a shelf unit right in the middle of the room on that grey rug. I’d rather suck in my breath and squeeze between shelf units than have to stop prepping cause I ran out of room. I’m in the USA, and I love your accent. Keep up the great work! ❤

[@LifeofWildRoots]

Our spare bedroom is also our prepper pantry. Best decision we've made. Lovely use of space :)

[@gythaogg]

Ours too, it's like our own shop x

[@rootofavalon3841]

It just makes completes sense to use it as a prepper pantry, I think it's the best use of the space these days! 😃

That's exactly what it feels like Teresa... just nipping to the shop to get some beans! 😂😂💕

[@kedeglow2743]

I know I'm late to the game on this video, but I wanted to tell you that it's really nice. I think you've done a great job with a wonderfull, useful assortment of shelves (I especially like the green ones where you keep your "tins" (we call them cans over here, but I like 'tins' better!). Just in the past two weeks my husband, daughter, and I have been consolidating my various "stashes" into one large pantry in our (never-used) guest room. With things the way they are in this world right now, it's a good feeling to be able to look in one room to see what you have an abundance of and what you need to refill. Thank you for sharing your prepper home grocery store! May The Lord Bless you and your family.

[@julieevans2848]

Well done, love to see people taking personal responsibility. I bought loo rolls two years ago 24 for 4.50 now there 6.99 so you can save money by being prepared.

[@paulineparker3662]

Hello, I just found your channel and enjoyed listening to your coverage of the products that you have. You mentioned that the room makes you happy, it’s the same with me whenever I’m in my pantry I have a sense of satisfaction. Thank you for sharing. Btw I’m in Florida USA. Look forward to your next video.

[@kidzngrandkidz840]

Well done! I’m in a bungalow too, however no spare bedroom to do this in because my daughter came home with her little boy, (not that I’m complaining) I’ve been squirrelling stuff away for a good while, hubby says I could fit a square peg in a round hole with ease, personally I think it’s because, where there’s a will, there’s a way, it’s amazing what you can do just by putting a bit by every time you go shopping.

[@rootofavalon3841]

It sounds to me like you're doing an amazing job for yourself and your family! It is very true that a little at a time does soon add up to a really good store cupboard!! ❤️💕

Hello Donna, 👋 thank you very much! I like to see other people's prep stores too! 😃

[@cjblack5925]

You have done a fantastic job at getting this room prepared and getting the contents in. There are a few items you have that we do not have here in the US, like mushy peas. We have cream style corn, but not mushy peas. We don’t have suet in a can either. Suet is mostly sold in flat squares for feeding birds in the winter. We have lard, but none in tins, so this was very interesting. Blessings!

[@rootofavalon3841]

Thank you very much! It's so interesting to see the different products other countries have that we don't have... and vice versa! ❤️💕

Hi I'm a new subscriber. I came looking for UK pantry ideas. I appreciate this tour. We are using our spare / box room for storage. I'm yet to set up. Thanks for the tips on weight distribution.

Hi Susan, 👋 that sounds lovely, I've got lots of powdered milk too! 😃

[@captaintreepig993]

Great video, thanks for sharing! It's best practice to put any flour or oats in the freezer for 24hrs to kill off any bugs or eggs so you don't get mites. Once they have been in the freezer they can then be stored as usual.

And rice apparently.

Hi Tilly, nice vid. Are you aware that when there is a disaster, emergency, you will literally have your entire street, family, hanger on ers, friends of friends, all turn up and you’ll be lucky if you come out alive? People will literally kick your door in and take the lot. This happened to us after we started with a few months. Some looser relatives discovered our supply and within a week we had all sorts turning up with every sob and hard luck story imaginable. Now I’ve moved. All my preps and supplies and hidden and buried 👍👍👍

For my metal shelving, I used scrap board lumber to distribute the weight. I have some small wire shelving to stack boxes of cereal, saltines (etc.) , oats. So I can stack vertically, and pull from bottom. ●toilet tissue, might want to move toTOP o TOP ooo

[@carolynmoody9460]

❤

[@lyndarina9839]

I have read that stacking tins 3 or 4 directly atop one another can weaken the seams of the lowest tins over time. Better to place a thin cardboard layer or plywood between each layer of tins. Personally, I place my tins in trimmed down cardboard boxes and stack these on top of each other to help distribute the weight. Also, although the storage in this video of tins directly placed on shelves is so attractive, I live in an area where we occasionally get small earthquake tremors. All those loose tins could easily end up on the floor at my home. Placing the tins in boxes with the sides trimmed down to 3 inches before stacking will provide a lot more stability.

Looking at where your ceiling light is situated suggests that your house is built pre-1970, maybe even pre-WW2. I hope that your floorboards and joists are strong enough to carry all that weight. Explanation for non-Brits (or Brits under 50). Bedroom ceiling lights were always placed close to the window in working-class and some middle-class homes from the advent of electric lighting to newer builds from the 1970s onwards. This was for the sake of modesty. It meant the light was between the window and anyone undressing in the room so their undressed outline could not be seen through thinner curtains. Rich folks had the luxury of thick curtains of course.

Thanks Sharon, I have all of those things already, they just haven't been put back into the pantry yet. I would like to get to the stage where I have enough food to last my family for a year, but it's difficult really because of the shelf life of a lot of the food... We don't constantly eat tinned and processed foods, so can't keep rotating stock. I think anything that we can do now is better than doing nothing at all, and I'm hoping to do more of my own shelf stable meals so at least it will be healthier than buying al processed foods. ❤️💕xx

I love Weetabix but can’t find it in the US in the grocery store. Your pantry is looking awesome. You are well on your way. 🙂 Stay Safe & Keep Prepping!

Yes I would love to see more if other want. The Lidl Mushy Peas are my favourite. The oat "sachets"... do you microwave them? If so, for the same time as the quaker? We've tried doing it with a lot of oats and they are not the same. The quick oats are steamed then dried so are quicker to cook and we've never got it to work. Haven't tried the asda essentials though. Thanks.

Hi, yes, I do 27g of the oats, 180ml of milk and microwave for 2 minutes, then I let it sit for 2 minutes (exactly the same as I do for the quaker oats) I did aa blind taste test with my husband and daughter, and nether could tell the difference. If you give ita try I'd be really interested to know what you think of it.

@@rootofavalon3841 I'll see if I remember when we next go to asda (I don't like porridge). But if they don't like it, I can always find a simple - minimal ingredient, preferably no bake, flapjack recipe somewhere. What do you think of the muesli? It tastes nice, but for me the hazelnuts are very hard which makes me always pay out for Alpen as everything is flaked. I can't get Mornflake swiss style anywhere easily which is my 2nd favourite. My memory is bad but I will try I and remember to let you know.

@@HubsByG We like the muesli, but we do add extra fruit to it as it is a bit light on fruit

Excellent vid! To make it elite level, turn it into a secret room by changing the door so it looks like a normal wall =) Pro tip, your cereals and anything else not in a can needs to go into plastic storage tubs, if you get a mouse in there, it will eat into the packets / cereal boxes and you will have a big problem very quickly!
