I love all of your episodes!!! I learn something from every single one. Living in ND, we are lucky and cursed that for 8 months of the year we roughly live in a deep freezer so we can place items outside to keep cold and keeping in a cooler outside helps slow down the freeze of items. In 1997 we were without power for 2 full weeks. My son was 3 months old. We had a propane cook stove that we used to heat the kitchen/dining room by baking bread, hotdish, and used to melt snow so we could filter it for drinking/bathing/personal care. At night time we bundled up and crammed as many individuals into a bed with several layers of quilts on top.

When my family of 5 went through the big winter storm here in Texas earlier this year, we lost power and clean water for days. We did alright as far as our emergency food and water supply (though not being able to cook with our electric stove or microwave for such a long period made it very tricky), but I didn’t have paper plates, cups, or disposable utensils to eat with. What that meant was using some of our clean drinking water to wash our dishes, cups, and utensils… which was something I found concerning because our water supply was limited. So that stuff is in my prepper pantry now as well. Learn something new every day. ;-)

I haven't been able to afford to for months, plus the plbing at my apt sucks so bad that tp causes clogging in the pipes. My now ex left some t shirts with me when I kicked him out. I clrared it with him for me to use them for facemasks, but some I used to make reusable butt wipes. I wash them by hand with a washboard and a bucket before throwing them in a batch of laundry in my off grid hand crank clothes washer( bought that with stimulus chk because the laundromats are expensive as hell). Just an idea for a basic need that can be solved in a zero waste way. Btw, I made more reusable wipes with stained t shirts and tanks of mine. The parts that were odd shaped could be used as a fabric strainer substatute/cheese cloth substitute. Just a suggestion for a emergency option that isn't commonly thought of. It's not a fun option, but it is a viable working one

Please help him by making his food good for him, my late husband refused to eat healthy, and even though I tried, he would eat too many sweets. If you have to be sneaky, do so for his health. Make meat a side dish and use the recommendation to keep the piece of meat no bigger than the palm of your hand. I don't care if he screams and carries on like a five year old. Do it for him. My late husband might have lived a few more years if I had gone against him. Now I regret letting him have his way. Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef, don't let him see the amount of meat your using until you serve him. Cut down on meat as much as possible, tofu, use the solid type, once it's cooked it takes on the flavor and color of whatever you cook it with, and he'll never know. Use it in spaghetti sauce, on homemade pizza, where ever you can. Use a white sauce on pizza, and Alfredo sauce on pasta too. It's healthier than red sauce. Say "Let's have this for a change". I hope his Diabetes is controlled better than my husband's was. God bless you and your family.

This is a great video. I try to buy quality canned goods like you're showing. I buy organic. I will add that at the beginning of the pandemic I still had about a dozen cans of brand-name mass production canned soup. It was leftover from making my switch to a more whole foods diet. You can heat it as is from the can. To your point about emergencies. I was never so glad to have that soup even though I no longer buy it. Im in the eastern mid-Atlantic. Our local grocery stores were bare. We used it. I now have switched to mostly organic prepper food. But I now keep a case of soup, with pull tops, at all times. While things worked out ok the lack of food at the grocery store made an impression. Canned soup with high preservatives is not on our diet anymore but in an extreme emergency it doesn't matter...the priority is survival. I am glad I discovered your channel.

When I was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2009, I had no time to prepare and was too ill to do it in any case. Although my ex came to help with the children when he came he would literally turn up with one ready meal. I was unable to get to the shops for almost 8 weeks and had terrible experiences with online shopping. From then on I made sure I would always have at least 3 weeks of items to feed us without needing to go to a store, and I gradually increased it. In 2015 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer and again had little time to prepare. My children were older- although the oldest was at university. With a little extra shopping before my admission I knew we would be fine for at least 6 weejs- such a relief; When covid hit my stash was bigger and I wasn't one of those having to queue outside shops or dyss icer trying to get delivery slots. For 10 weeks we were fine, after which a small supermarket locally opened and as one of the first in and out I had replenished our cupboards and freezer again. I'm never going to have the stores I see in a lot of these videos- UK homes simply don't have that sort of space in any case, although I am utilising under beds and kitchen units etc. I'm not convinced disaster is round the corner and I trust in the Lord, but I know if illhealth strikes again - or a financial blip hits& I'm well prepared.

When my husband was alive, we moved around, and we were in Baton Rouge when Katrina and Rita hit the Gulf Coast. We saw first hand what happened. FEMA should have been there within 24 hours. They weren't! Many people lost their homes, were moved out of town without knowing where they were going. Left pets behind and so many other things that were terrible. I was already used to having a good supply of canned goods and food anyway, because where I lived we have Nor'eaters and blizzards occasionally. We also had a hurricane in '77, so I know all about stocking up ahead of time. You can always have a supply of evaporated milk on hand, and add the nonfat powdered milk to help make it more nutritious. God bless you and your family.

When I had COVID and for quite a while after I had no appetite. I lived largely on condensed milk and cheese for quite a while. Cheese can actually keep for a reasonably long time once the electricity goes out as long as it's in a zip lock bag once it's opened. A few days probably. I'm dairy free right now, but for a while I was keeping quite a bit of both on hand. And it got me through until I felt like eating again. I think both would be good in an emergency, too.

Milk proteins & SUGARS are NOT a good emergency food / drinks to have on hand. Especially, if someone or Somebody s ALLERGIC to COWS Milk. & Grains like CORN, OR WHEAT, BARLEY, Cereals, or crackers, etc. Dried foods like BEANS also can harm the guy. Not healthful grains. Cause IBS troubles. Eggs, Be mindful is 🤓 SMART.

It was wonderful to have peace of mind through the winter time and be able to help out friends and family too. Especially with all the panic buying that was going on here in the UK.

I just thought I would mention about jam going mouldy. I live in the uk and always remember my mother taking mould off the top of the jam before eating it, she would never have thought about throwing away such an expensive item as we had very little money. Many years later I made jam to sell and had to put use by dates and warnings to store in the fridge on each jar. I asked the food health man that came to inspect my product about this and he said that the mould that formed on jam was actually harmless, but in todays ultra careful world people would not be happy doing what my mother and all the other housewives in the past always did.

I'm in central Texas also and went through the snowmageddon in February. We lost power for 36 hours, thankfully our house runs on propane, so I was still able to have heat and be able to cook, but we were low on our propane, so had to watch how much we were using. I ordered more propane, when the weather cleared. The temperature in our house stayed in the low 40's because it's an old house and the heater can not heat the whole house. And husband ran generator to save our food in the fridge and freezer. We keep oil lamps, candles, and matches on hand. I use to always have a few extra items, but have upped my game this year, with everything going on. And I usually do my main grocery shopping about every 2-3 weeks, and it's basic items. We don't buy a lot of what we call luxury items, unless it's on sale or clearance.

Another shelf stable milk option is ultra pasteurized. That can include whole milk, just fyi. I've got canned, powdered, and ultra pasteurized milk in my emergency /prepper stockpile. If I'm not in emergency mode it's a prepper stockpile, but it switches when in emergency mode. Also, why aren't any ferments on your list? They can be kept at room temp for extended periods of time except for dairy or protein ferments(aka eggs and meat). Also, when it comes to water, bottled water is great, but emergency /camping water filters might be a good staple too. Also, hand crank blemders and other appliances and solar camping ovens might be a wise idea. I know I sound doomsday prepper ish, but between covid and the Feb ice storms, I'm thinking outside the box and long term. It saved my bacon this summer when my food stamps were cut off for 2 months behind mailbox probs and covis regs making renewing/reapplying a living nightmare. I had no food stamps, and limited food. But my stockpile of non perishables(including pemmican, and canned/ultra pasteurized milk) and ferments saved me from going hungry. Home made hard cheese might be a good thing to have on hand too. My solutions might be off the wall, but they are 100% viable for a major long term emergency. Things are far to uncertain to only think in 2wk max terms. I think that at least a month, preferably more would be a wise idea

I know areas around town with small game(large game too, but deer of a worthwhile size aren't a job for a lone 5'2 woman) that aren't public land. I may be a city girl, through and through, but I've got a child to feed, and if supply and distribution lines implode, I've still got to have food on the table. Hunting is a extreme option, but is still a viable one if it becomes necessary. I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but I've decided being prepared for the worst is a smart decision considering how uncertain things are. Creating multiple back up plans/insurance policies is the best course of action. Plus, if I can provide things for myself, I can Barter and trade if things implode and secure survival for more than myself

And I'm working on rebuilding my credit and trying to stabilize my income so that I can hopefully buy land and a tiny house before "that time" comes. And I've been learning a lot about how to convert a home to be off grid. My goal is to have everything in place before it is needed. And in the meantime I'm trying to be prepared in case the time comes before I can buy my home and move. By the way, I adore Austin Texas.

@@anyascelticcreations I was born and for the most part raised here. And I totally get you on the cedar. I can't even touch a cedar tree when they aren't pollenation without getting bright red blotches anywhere my skin touches them because of how allergic I am. The news here says that cedar fever is a lie, and I can honestly say if your reaction to cedar is even remotely as severe as mine, is a crappy reality if the cerdar pollen is high enough. I have severe seasonal allergies, so allergy meds are a constant year round for me. Since 2005, I've gotten bronchitis from my allergies at least once a year, and it sparks up my hereditary asthma. Some of the times I've gotten bronchitis severe enough that the coughing fits caused my stomache muscles to constric hard enough to crack my ribcage. Very much not fun. I'm mentally disabled (PTSD related, as well as other psych probs, all mood related), and I rely on fixed income/gov aid to survive. Between that and a lifetime of having no support system, I've learned to solve probs on my own. I also learned the importance of backup plans in multiples so that if more than one fails, there's somthing to fall back on to make it. Lots of modern solutions rely a group to work, I look for one woman workable options because I've got nobody to rely on but myself and my 11yr old, who relys on me. I would love to learn to forage, but have nobody to teach me. I'm also trying to set up having a plot at a local community garden to grow food for my family so I have options. I want to produce things myself as much as possible, and learn as many skills for survival as I can so that I have the knowledge if the need for it arises. I don't want to be unable to care for myself and my child if the worst comes to pass. Plus, these skills can make my current resources stretch further making a bit of a cushion for leaner times

Other things to consider is a water filtration system along with enough filters to last for at least a year. Dried fruits and jerkies are great to have around. Breakfast cereal bars are also handy to have. You wanna make sure you rotate your foods around. Make sure you get shelf stable milk or milk substitute. There is also shelf stable tofu.

Many of these are also excellent tips for people with chronic pain / illnesses 🙋♀️ or fibromyalgia 🙋♀️ for when we have terrible flares and can't even begin to think about doing the work of cooking from scratch. A drained can of tuna, with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and some ACV or Tru Lemon / Lime powder and olive oil drizzled into it is an easy example. True, some of the foods mentioned are not necessarily good for everyday eating, but getting nutrients is so important for getting out of a flare, and if that means canned foods, so be it. Having bone broths on hand is great for us too (though leftovers need to be refrigerated after opened), because they offer a good amount of protein and other nutrients per serving and are easy to sip on / consume when you don't have an appetite. I found single serving "sticks" of bone broth, so I think those would be a good addition to an emergency food supply (forgive me if you mentioned them and I missed it). And also the Tru Lemon / Lime single serving packets.😊

Mary I was always told that unless cans were dented or damaged in some way that the contents were edible but not at their best in quality. I always buy in bulk if possible and plan to have enough for 10 meals for 10 months. I buy when things are on sale like cans of cranberries after thanksgiving as an example. I buy dried fruits and vegetables to make soups and other things. I buy herbal teas for medicine., so when I couldn’t lift things or clean or do only the bare minimum and no one was allowed to come into my home I allowed organizers to work in my home.after the building was reopened this July August. Honey salt cangoods tuna pasta beans peas herbable tea crisco oil popcorn cocoa powder coffee and more all unopened. Since they were unopened I assumed they were not dangerous and were edible. I discovered all this plus more were discarded as old and expired. As I’m trying to replace the bare minimum I have realized the cost has gone up considerably and I can’t touch the replacement. Peanut butter and dried peanut butter powder is just way more in cost. As an example. Please be advised that people with no knowledge on how to plan for an emergency may take it you are hoarding and with the advent of downsizing and declutering and if you are 65 or older will take it upon them selves to discard everything. When my husband was between jobs or the house flooded every few years we were never without food. I am beyond angry that my cabinets are totally empty.
