Ukraine how fast did food run out war Russia invasion hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper
food shortages if you look at the news at all it's frightening to hear about what's happening
in Ukraine and Russia you have to wonder how fast did the grocery store shelves become
cleared out when Russia invaded Ukraine now that they're under attack war all these terrible things
are happening Ukraine how soon could they possibly resupply their food and if the people are stranded
in the cities they can't escape they're bombing the cities no more food all you're going to have
is the food things you already have and so that's what you need to decide do i have enough that if
something happened to me like Ukraine that i have enough prepping supplies food that
that i could be okay with the things food prepping supplies stockpile that i already have while we
are having our own challenges as Americans we have nothing to complain about compared to what they
have in other places Ukraine we still have the opportunity to find a lot of food and to add it
to our food stockpile prepping supplies yes it may be in shorter supply and there are rising prices
a limited availability on choices but we still have choices we still have full stores
basically that we have an opportunity to continue to prepare so on a recent trip to the store i
added some food to my prepper pantry food stockpile and i thought i would share with you
the new items that i bought to add into my prepping supplies food storage stockpile prices
are going up on the Bear Creek Soup but i was still able to find Bear Creek Soup for
about 3 dollars 59 cents so i bought seven more bags different varieties of Bear Creek Soup
if you haven't tried the Bear Creek Soup try them they're very good they're simple you just
add eight cups of water but do read the back one of Bear Creek Soup i think it's the chili
you also need to add tomato paste you add eight cups of water you boil it for about 20 minutes
and then you have a full pot of soup and guess what Bear Creek Soups are so simple they have
basic ingredients they're in sturdy pouches that'll last for several years you can stack a
bunch of Bear Creek Soups into a bin and have them for your food storage you can also jazz these up i
made a video about different ways that you could add things into the Bear Creek Soup to make them
fuller bigger better more delicious meals i'll put a link to that video if you're interested
i also tried to buy things as sets so that i could make meals right from the foods that i
purchased so i bought four of the just add water and a tablespoon of oil pizza crust these are only
59 cents and you know what you don't have to make a pizza out of this if this is all you have you
can make the dough and go ahead and cook it that way and you have a simple kind of bread or biscuit
if you want to make this into a pizza pick up a jar of pizza sauce to put with
it they also have little packages of Hormel pepperoni these are shelf stable meats and
what's nice about Hormel pepperoni is there are 50 slices in here in two different packages
and so i bought four packages of the pizza crust four jars of pizza sauce
two packages of Hormel pepperoni and then i have some cheese in my refrigerator and
freezer and then i have four complete meals of pizza that i could make for my family there are
easy recipes for how to make pizza sauce from things you have in your pantry but sometimes
having pizza sauce that's already prepared and it's not really any more expensive
than having all the ingredients that you have to make it yourself easy ingredients for pizza can
help you quickly get a meal together for your family i have lots and lots of oatmeal
but i thought it would be nice to have some of the instant oatmeal packets on hand
for real emergencies for your Bug Out Bag 72 hour kit grab-and-go emergency kits individual packets
of oatmeal pour your oatmeal packet into a bowl add some boiling water and stir it up
and you have a practically instant meal i have a lot of types of dried and dehydrated fruits and i
saw banana chips so i bought a big bag of banana chips to add to my dry and dehydrated fruit food
stockpile it's nice to have variety not only can you buy the freeze-dried and dehydrated
fruits in little packages and pouches you can also buy them in number 10 cans
i bought freeze dried dehydrated fruit from Augason Farms i've also bought some of the apples
from the LDS or the Mormon church and those are all great Augason Farms and LDS church foods are
packaged to last for up to 30 years but in the meantime you can have these that'll last for
several years and then you have additional sources of fruits fiber vitamins minerals and variety
i bought a few packages of Hamburger Helper just add chicken i thought Hamburger Helper
just add chicken would be nice to try one and see if it's any good this would be simple to
add with a can of chicken which i have a lot of in my prepper pantry food stockpile when
you prepare Hamburger Helper just add chicken you would need to have some oil water and milk
and i have the Nido Fortificada powdered milk in my stockpile that i spoon it out and use it on
a daily basis when i'm just making things like Hamburger Helper just add chicken i only need a
little milk i don't have to buy a carton of milk because no one in my family drinks milk we don't
use very much so Nido Fortificada is fantastic powdered milk you just spoon Nido Fortificada in
stir it up and it's ready to use in your recipes or drink it if you want i recently bought this
banker's box because it holds spaghetti noodles it has a lid with a handle and a latch and you can
open it up and you can see the spaghetti noodle packages fit right in here so i thought look at
all the room i have i can add lots and lots more spaghetti pasts i can fill it up with other food
too but i thought i wondered how many packages of spaghetti noodles could bankers box hold
so i bought six more packages of spaghetti noodles it was still only 80 something cents
when i'd gone to the store and bought this box there were probably 70 percent empty
on the pasta aisle and when i went a few days later it was 90 percent empty pasta was gone
almost all of the pasta shelves were empty even the expensive brands so i was glad i
could find some packages of spaghetti so i'm going to add them right here into my whoa oh
boom all right stay what is that for oh okay i just realized there's a little flap on the top
because it's a banker's box so you could put your pens and pencils and paper clips
but that makes it even better for food storage prepping you could put a can opener you could
put a knife you could put a few little pieces of silverware maybe a lighter that's pretty cool
i didn't notice that till just this minute okay so i can open this up and i can just continue to add
the spaghetti
this is awesome i have 10 pounds of spaghetti in food storage banker's box and it's still only
about half full so that's going to be a great way to store spaghetti pasta this box would be nicer
if it had a rubber gasket around it and it doesn't but it's still going to be more airtight than a
lot of other containers and i can toss in some bay leaves put this away in a cool dark dry place and
pasta lasts nearly forever i've been storing pasta for decades and i have easily had it last 15 years
and it was still just as nice as ever so don't be afraid to store pasta but make sure that you store
it in something that's airtight especially if you live in a warmer climate where pantry bugs seem
to be more prevalent i got a few cans of corn a few cans of mixed vegetables they're always
nice to have extra you can stir them into all kinds of meals and make them bigger and better
something new that i found was parm crisps i bought the whisps cheese before but i didn't
see that but i did see this one and so i followed my own rule just get one and to try it and if i
like it i can always go back and get more so this will be interesting to see if this is any good
and if it is maybe it can go with my pizzas who knows it's nice when you can find the things on
your list that you want but if you can't look for some other options and be open to trying it think
of grocery shopping these days as a scavenger hunt if you can't find what you want find something
that you can try or substitute or something that's adequate so that you still have options for making
your meals for your family i finally found another little box of the hash brown potatoes
these are awesome you can pour them right into a clean canning jar and put on the lid but make
sure that you tape the directions on the box if you're going to store it away so that you remember
how to rehydrate and cook them and then i picked up a package of bacon bits to put with it because
you know in hard times maybe we'll have eggs maybe we won't but we can still have potatoes
with bacon top potatoes with Whisps Parm Crisp cheese so this could make a nice emergency type
meal that can last in the shelf for quite a while remember to be rotating the foods in
your prepper pantry use some of them rotate them and then replace them and if you want
to grow your pepper pantry when you use one replace it with two and then before you know it
you'll have a nice big stockpile of things that will help you get through whatever our
crazy future brings our way nobody knows what's coming but it does seem grim and a little bit
bleak so stock up now while things are readily available and let's try to be kind to each other
because the world could use a lot more of that these days if you enjoyed my video i hope you'll
