Steps To Not Starve Prepping For Food Shortages Emergencies Disasters SHTF stockpile hi
it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper a lot of times as Preppers our priority is having enough food
stockpiled we want to make sure that we can feed ourselves and our family no matter what
an uncertain future brings SHTF if you look at the news you can see there have been terrible
earthquakes many people have lost their lives there were massive fires there have been floods
and then there's just the challenges of every day of rising prices and people not having their
income rise to meet their added expenses and it's becoming harder and harder to provide food things
that we need so we need to take it seriously and really think about it what are the steps
you need to take to make sure that you don't starve do you have enough food and there are
some ways to figure have enough food Foods become more expensive we want to look over the foods we
actually use eat on a day-to-day basis figure out how can you have those Foods in Prepper Pantry
stockpile have extras of food we might prefer to eat the freshest food ever but it isn't always
possible first of all to obtain those Foods if it's winter time a lot of those freshest Foods
aren't available especially if you live more of a remote lifestyle there's also the challenges that
the freshest Foods become far more expensive we simply can't afford food if foods are not
available how can you make sure that you're still going to have the foods you want to eat find those
Foods as Frozen Foods or stockpile those Foods as canned foods then you can have the types and
varieties of foods that you like don't starve look over the food in your pantry what are some
easy to open and eat foods that don't require any preparation in times of emergency times
of hardship and just when you've had a terrible day sometimes just being able to open something
up and just eat it granola bars energy bars fruit pouches beef jerky dried fruits and nuts we might
just not have the strength to even figure out one more decision today of what to cook but we
can grab something and just eat it and that is a lot of emergency situations when you won't be able
to cook something and so being able to just open something and have it is a great idea so try to
get lots of ready to eat Foods next try to make sure that you look over foods that are easy to
prepare what kind of foods do you like to eat do you eat macaroni and cheese do you make pasta do
you make different kind of rice dishes there are all kinds of canned foods that are easy to open
heat them up do a little bit of cooking add in some water milk or butter things like that even
a package of pancake mix that you just Add Water you could have a box of pancake mix a bottle of
syrup and you could make meals for several days for several people look over foods that you like
to eat and figure out how you can buy extras of those Foods so that you are prepared to continue
to serve meals and feed yourself and your family no matter if the day is just crazy busy or there
is some type of emergency or a challenge that you're facing inventory the foods that you like to
eat have extras on those foods so you can make a meal anytime you need to next think about bottled
water it's so imperative water is necessary to survive we need to have fresh drinking water in
all kinds of emergency situations if there's no fresh drinking water that's when people become
sick that's when sanitation becomes a crisis there are all kinds of challenges that having
fresh drinking water can solve or prevent things from being worse so make sure that you have fresh
drinking water on hand and that you have a way to replenish your supplies of water so that you have
a source where you think you could get more water and a way to purify water if you can get water
but it's questionable you need to have a way to purify water it can be something as simple as a
water filter you can buy some different kinds of drops and tablets that you can add in and purify
water you can even have some bleach on hand that you can purify water with bleach but make sure
that you have some idea of how you can store stockpile as much water as possible and then
you want to have a way to purify additional water if you need to what's the next step to making sure
you don't starve in an emergency situation have enough over-the-counter medications if you get an
upset tummy you want to have OTC medicines for that if you get a headache or a fever you want
medicines for that if you suffer from allergies look over the types of medications that you use
the over-the-counter medications and have a few extras of those types of medicines in your
supplies if you have prescription medications that are life-saving that you rely on speak with your
medical care professional on how you can have a little bit extra on hand to make sure that in an
emergency you have a few days Supply at all times until you can figure out how to get more that has
been one of the big struggles recently medicine there have not been the medications that people
want we couldn't get cough syrups fever reducers children's medications were nearly impossible to
get in the last year and we don't ever want to not be able to provide the medications we need for our
children can you imagine not being able to help your child feel better they come to us for all
of their needs their comfort we need to make sure that we have those things available for them you
also want to make sure that you have the things to keep yourself healthy and safe because you
need to be able to rely on yourself to help take care of others so it's hard being an adult but
we need to make sure that we provide those things that we're thinking about what we need and how we
can make the best of ourselves so we can be there for those who depend on us next think about your
toiletries they may not keep you from starving but they can certainly help your life be more
comfortable so everything you use on a daily basis from shampoo soaps toothpaste body wash
deodorant anything that you use from a nail file to eye drops to nail clippers have those organized
so that you know where your things are if there are items that you're missing put it on a list
make a plan that when are you going to be able to purchase those items so that you have them and if
you don't have a first aid kit please make sure that you have one now and you also want to check
it over make sure no one in your family has been raiding the first aid kit and then in an emergency
you don't have the items that you were counting on so check out your first aid kit as well then think
over your cleaning supplies because once again you can't stay healthy and avoid starvation if things
are dirty and you become sick take an inventory of your dishwashing detergent your laundry soap your
all-purpose cleaners and the supplies of cleaning claws or paper towels that you would need to keep
your area clean and don't forget about baby wipes they can keep everybody clean and it's a great way
to make sure that you can wipe off surfaces and get things clean and that can be really important
so now that you've figured out what things you need you have your list make sure that on that
list are things that can last that you can store that can last for a period of time and then you
want to make a plan for how you can budget for those items which ones you can pick up and how
you can strategically add to your stockpile it can be challenging when money is tight but even if you
just pick up one item every time you go to the store one extra item even if you did that once
a week then you'll have 52 items that can help keep you safe healthy and avoiding starvation
after a year and then pretty soon you can look at your momentum that you're getting food stockpiling
items that you have and figuring out how to use food prepping supplies stretch your meals make
the most of food storage dollars don't starve budgeting strategically not wasting any of the
food you're buying now make sure that you eat up all of the food that you have don't just
shove leftovers in the refrigerator and never use them that's throwing dollars away use up all food
prepare the amount food that you can serve your family plan to use food leftovers can save you
dollars not only with the food dollars you already spent but then you can avoid getting a takeout
meal because you don't know what's for dinner you have already planned something to eat don't starve
you may not want to have eat those leftovers when you'd rather go order a pizza but it's
very important that we think about the future and not just the moment plan for the future
that you're avoiding starvation in the future and not just avoiding this momentary hunger
stay on top of your emergency preparations and your food storage stockpile figure out
what food you use then rotate food supplies you have and replace them if we know that a hurricane
is coming a storm is approaching the first things that run out are bread milk and toilet paper don't
even make us remember back to having enough toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic prepare we
don't have the stress and anxiety of racing out to the store when a storm is approaching
when everybody else is in a panic mode you can stay hunkered down safe at home with your family
preparing the food out of your pantry that you already have you can reach into your cupboard and
have another roll of toilet paper you aren't living in the anxiety of possible starvation
possibly going without and the struggles that come with not prepping being ready to face the things
we know we're going to need why wouldn't you want to have those things on hand so that you don't
create emergencies for yourself by not having an extra package of food an extra can of soup an
extra tube of toothpaste a package of toilet paper have those supplies you know you're going to use
them so it only makes sense to stock up and have those things in your prepper pantry food storage
stockpile along with emergency supplies think back over the challenges you faced what were the
items that you said oh my gosh I can't believe I need that make sure you have those items as
well sometimes we get into normalcy bias we forget the struggles we went through because we want to
put it behind us move on have happy days ahead but if you remember ever going without toilet
paper ever going without a meal not having all the ingredients to just make a basic meal then
you can figure out how to avoid ever being in that situation again that's why I'm a prepper I don't
want to suffer if I don't have to I want my days to be the best that they can be and I want the
same for you as well leave it in the comments below what are some items that you think are
imperative that we add to our prepper stockpile prepping supplies how can we avoid starvation in
the future so that our lives can be the best they can be I hope you like my video Share my video
