welcome everyone welcome to food storage for one on one and this is homestead
Tassie mo home living I hope you stay tuned why is it so dark in here
everyone I shown some light upon the subject but the number one thing about
food storage is you want to have it dark darkness in a food storage is the key
thing the other thing is you want to have ventilation in your food storage in
other words if it's a day where it's breezy you want to open your door if
it's in a closet to get some airflow in your food storage now if you're like me
and have a mega food storage then you want to have a place where there's
windows that you can open to have airflow air flow is really important to
food storage as well you don't want to have a stuffy room I have a room that
it's a large room is a bedroom and this is my food storage this is not my only
food storage I have two of them a lot of times people say I can't believe you're
sharing with the world your food storage well I am
I have no fear about my food storage I have no fear about sharing it with
everyone because that's part of my channel is to share with all of you in
tangible ways how you can make a difference in your life so what is this
video about I'm going to talk about the ends and the outs of food storage why
would you want one well it seems like today I don't have to explain that too
much now do I in years past I always had to explain to
people try to convince them why they should have a food storage in this day
and age there's not much convincing I have to do but so many people wonder how
can you even start today how can we start food storage today when things are
really bad that's really easy we still can and I'm here to show you how so how
in the world can we start food storage when we're living in a crisis well I
don't recommend you going outside your home unless you have to but those of us
we still have to go once in a while to the grocery store and get a few supplies
even I like to go I went one time through all of this and that was just
yesterday and I have a video on that as well but pretty much I'm staying at home
and I'm using what I have but there's a lot of you for a little too late in
having a food storage now and you wonder what in the world can you do even in
this day and age when you go to the grocery store my friends you still are
able to buy something relatively cheap and I talked about it and talked about
it and talked about it I have 600 videos on food storage I could talk for hours
on it because this is basically one of the only things I'm really good at and
that is having a pantry all right I'm gonna share it with you all again
because there's new people that come onto my channel on a daily basis and
whatever I have the word food storage people seem to come by and take a visit
at my channel macaronis noodles are still very cheap you can still stock up
on them stock up on your noodles buy a pack or two buy a pack or two each week
you know each time you go I understand people aren't going away like they used
to so this is what you need to do right now for seven days when I can get a pen
and paper because this is a homework assignment and I'm going to be your
teacher for today those of you who don't know anything about food storage I'm
here to share with you so take out a pen and paper and I want you to write down
in the next seven days seven days I want you to write down what foods have you
been eating it's not hard at all then the next week I want you to see what
those foods are and see if you can stock up on them how can you do that I'm not
telling you go out and buy hoards and hoards of food I'm not telling you to be
one of them hoarders of food but let's say you're
you eat pasta maybe you're Italian maybe you're like me and you love the carbs
because I'm a carb junkie I know that I know that's why I have a weight problem
because I like carbs but I love carbs because they gave me energy and right in
this day and age it's cheap by yourself if you get one by two stary Hildur when
she used to do videos on food storage she said something that always stuck
with me one is none and two is one in other words if you buy one and you use
it up it's none but if you buy two it goes down to one and I always had that
philosophy in life so I've always went and bought two or three or four noodles
is something you can do so much with oh my word
I can't begin to tell you what all you can do
with noodles you all know that you can put noodles in soup and that would
stretch your soup you could put noodles with just a little
bit of butter noodles with cheese as you know I love my cheese and you know I
love canning cheese you can put your noodles with tomato sauce spaghetti
sauce any kind of stuff you can have your noodles plain noodles gives you
carbohydrates and carbohydrates yes can turn into sugar but it can also give you
energy my noodles are cheap noodles and beans okay so let's see what we can do
with our noodles so I got my noodles here
I could have noodles and chicken noodles with green beans add something to it you
can add a canned soup or even tomatoes noodles and ground beef noodles and
carrots noodles and butter and noodles and beans here's some store-bought beans
but I got jars of jars of beans as well noodles is a great thing don't buy
noodles if you never eat noodles that is the number one thing I want to say about
food storage there's no sense in you buying a truckload of noodles if you
don't eat them same with rice why are you gonna buy 50 pounds of rice when you
don't eat it so don't be buying rice if you're not gonna eat it but find the
foods that you eat I know in this time we're living in it's hard to get fresh
fruit if you don't go away or fresh vegetables soon I have a garden and I'll
be able to grow them but if you want to you should buy frozen vegetables are
really good I love my canned vegetables and I love frozen vegetables I have both
both equally does its job and let me share with you the difference between
frozen and the difference between canned when you can something let's see like
green beans you're using your energy one time to can them does it cost me nothing
does it it's sitting in my jar now doesn't cost electricity to keep it
preserved it doesn't cost me anything to keep it preserved but then
you have it that it's cooked and you have it that it's easy that you can eat
out of the jar that makes sense right but you do need some nutrition when you
can't now if you can it with the liquid in it you have that nutrition as well if
you drain the liquid out of your canned goods you do news the vitamins in that
so I try always to get to eat my vegetables with the liquid in it
sometimes you do have to drain it frozen is easy come on all we have to do is
blanch it throw it into a bag and just pop it in that freezer but then we have
an issue opens if our electric runs out now we have a problem you know what
happens if our freezer breaks I've heard that happened millions of times with
people the freezer broke and they had hundreds of dollars in the freezer but
yet having it frozen really is nice it's very easy and it's very easy especially
if you're older and you don't have to look around jars and everything food
storage is something that you're on a scale and your own like a ladder think
of it as a ladder and you have different steps of food storage you can be down
here in your food storage or you can be up here in your food storage it all
depends on what you want to do and how much you want to work at it look about
freezing and we talked a little bit about canning so what else do we want to
talk about we could talk about dehydrating dehydrating is really simple
and easy it does take a lot of energy to dehydrate everything but once it's
dehydrated once again it's in your jar you're not costing anything to store it
dehydrating is easy if you have a very small area to work with
you know not everybody has a bedroom like this but let me tell you I only
have a one thousand square foot home and I turned a bedroom into a food storage
you know some people have turning their bedrooms into storage of just storing
all kinds of stuff that they own but I turned it into food storage food storage
is very important to me it is my passion it is my element I'm in my element when
I'm in here because this is something that I love
in and I think wow you know all of the years of work put into it and I just
have a real deep proudness of it not a proudness of it that I think that I'm
all that for having it but I just really feel good about what I use with my time
here on this vert and how I'm using it to teach others and share with other
people so dehydrating is another thing that's really great you don't have to
invest in a lot of cameras you don't have to invest in all that dehydrating
is another thing that's really great that you can do so what else do we need
to learn about food storage storage is something that can be a hobby it's
something you can enjoy you can get great satisfaction in it you know it
doesn't have to be something that you despise or drudgery but if you take your
life in your own hands and you be proactive about food storage you know it
takes a lot of stress off you right now I don't have the stress of things that
other people may have because in the times of Plenty is when I worked on it
for the times of need you know and that's how it isn't in life you take the
times of Plenty and you think about the times in need and that's what people did
in the Depression era you know a lot of people in the farms they didn't think
much about the depression because it didn't affect them like it did other
people because they lived a certain lifestyle and you don't have to have a
garden you don't have to be a homesteader to have food storage anybody
can have it I understand people are on the low income for whatever reason that
is but you can take small steps and make a big difference not everybody is gonna
get buckets and buckets of rice and beans and things like that people
concerned about rodents if you keep your food storage clean treat it like a
grocery store you don't want to go into a dirty grocery store just look over it
and clean it once a week just go over everything and just kind of look at it
you won't have the rodents all right my friends I have 700-800 I don't know how
many videos I have in food storage I will share with you my playlist at the
end of this video because I share with you everything about food everything you
need to know about rice about beans about vegetables about my on our bags
about buckets about everything I've shared it at all subject I have not
touched on so thank you guys so much for listening to my just quick

storage is my food storage and all kinds of fun ways that you can prepare for who
knows what comes next you know it could be a job loss it could

something to feel like you've done something worthwhile it can become a
hobby I know in the beginning it sounds like it's something rather a lot of work
but you know what once you get started you actually enjoy it and you find it a
very rewarding hobby
