strategies that you can Implement to help make your life go better if you've been watching my
channel for any amount of time by now hopefully you have a prepper Pantry food stockpile that's
full of food but maybe you don't really know how to use all of those Foods reach
into your prepper pantry food stockpile get a can of meat package of mashed potatoes rice
couscous something like that how about a can of vegetables with those easy things you could put
together a meal try seeing what kind of food meal combinations you can put together is it going to
be the greatest meal you ever cooked unlikely but if it keeps your family fed for not a lot of money
with food things you have on hand you're way ahead one strategy I do is I take meal combinations
pantry foods I put them together in a Ziploc bag I call them shelf meals store in my prepper pantry
I can grab a bag meal make a meal and it's not complicated requires basically heat food add water
t's all food prepper pantry stockpile can live in the pantry try putting together a few shelf
meals out of the foods that you like have in your stockpile next thing I like to do is save empty
drink containers ones that you can wash out if you look on the bottom they'll say PET PETE containers
washed they're able to be refilled because they're food grade so you can rinse them out
dry them well you can fill them with food or fill them with water then you have some extra water in
your home the sturdier your container the better it's going to last you want to try containers that
have only held food like soda pops juices sports drinks and these are sturdy containers that are
designed to hold liquid so I like to fill them up and have extra water on hand I also do fill
water in some other containers such as soap jugs I mark them at their water so there's no confusion
that it's still soap in there just water you need to wash a dish flush the toilet clean the sink if
water goes out you still need water for cleaning if something happens and water is in short supply
you still need water for cleaning so having jugs of water very helpful it's easy to store
water under the sink where you would want water if you turn water on it isn't running you can reach
under the sink and get some water use it to wash a dish or whatever it is that you were trying to do
winter is here it's the time that we're turning on our lights again because it's
dark lo and behold the light bulbs are burning out if you know there's a size light bulb you
use in your house get extra lightbulbs now I was absolutely flabbergasted when I went shopping for
bulbs recently the dramatic increase price light bulbs gone up exponentially it's unbelievable
how expensive light bulbs are we still need light bulbs we need to have extras on hand if your bulb
goes out reach into your prepping supply grab a spare if I have bulbs I use for a particular
purpose I label the box if I know the living room Spotlight went out I know which bulb to grab right
off of the Shelf in my prepping supply stockpile if you come across empty containers think about
them before you toss them maybe you can turn altoids tin into a first aid kit a candle kit a
fire lighting kit something you could put together in a hurry take a few emergency supplies put it
together in Altoid tin drop it in your purse put it in your car drop it in your bug out bag
you're going to be way ahead because you have some little mini emergency survival kits empty
jar clean it well make sure it's completely dry and you can store small amounts of rice beans
oatmeal into these small jars you can put food away in your prepper pantry I keep thinking if
there really is a big emergency SHTF people don't have enough food to eat I can give them small jar
food keep my buckets large containers food for myself and my own family I would still have small
amount food put away sometimes we just need a little bit of rice beans oatmeal pasta you can
go grab jar of food use it yourself fill up the food in your prepper pantry food stockpile you'll
have a little bit of backup food you stored in a free container from foods you already
have on hand use an empty jar for a lights out kit power outage I put together emergency long
burning candles with strike anywhere matches I store them in the jar the matches aren't going
to get wet I have emergency light all contained power outage no electricity if I need to use it
I can take the candles put one jar light it use jar as emergency Lantern candle lantern
clean out glass plastic containers have extra containers fill them mostly to the top with
water put on the lid put them in the freezer if your power goes out no electricity you have
frozen ice blocks can help your freezer cold longer keeping things cold then depending on
the weather if you want to go out with a picnic basket you can drop frozen container right into
your cooler it'll keep your food cold that's not a problem Alaska for me right now but it might be
where you are having extra containers of ice in your freezer are great plus if there's a problem
or an emergency you have emergency water because you can melt ice you have extra water on hand if
you need it something my mother taught me I've done for many years is keep a container in the
freezer then if you have leftover pieces of meat leftover vegetables maybe some broth you pour it
in put the lid on it keep it in the freezer and once it gets full you can make an nice
soup or stew out of it my mother used to call it bubble and squeak it's never going to be the same
because every little bit that you put in Bubble and Squeak adds a little bit of different flavor
you'd be surprised how delicious some of them can be next time you go to the bank skip the ATM go
inside to the teller get small bills ones fives and tens it's still the money you're taking out
but set a few small bills dollars aside emergency you have small bills if everybody just has a 20
and you go to the store there's no power can't use credit cards you can hand them small bills change
you don't have to hand them a large bill for a small item and they don't have any small bills
to give change because everybody had a 20. I used to do that all the time when my kids were little
because if child needs a few dollars for something then you can hand them what a twenty dollar bill
you're never going to get your change back but you can give smaller bills it's probably all that
they need you still have money left for next time the same amount of money in ten dollar bills is
going to go twice as far when you're handing it out as twenty dollar bills that's my experience
cold weather is here get out your gloves make sure you have warm pairs of gloves for everyone
in your family I stick them in the pockets of every coat you go out you don't have to wonder
where are my gloves why didn't I bring gloves put your hands in your pockets and there they are that
has saved many a cold days from being miserable by having the gloves things you need right where
you need them as things weather colder power bills are going up ridiculously layer your
clothes put on a tank top long sleeves a t-shirt put on a scarf wear a vest dress in layers add
a blanket on your bed and cuddle up on the couch with a throw then it doesn't matter if it's a few
degrees colder because you are prepared to dress a little warmer and you can continue to enjoy the
activity that you're doing prepping doesn't have to be hard complicated expensive prepping mindset
you want to always be thinking the what ifs what if this happened what if that happened how can I
face that what can I do where can I go who can I turn to and by having prepping strategies you're
going to have success then you don't have to panic because you'll have some meals you'll have some
water you'll have the supplies you need to keep your family and your life running as smoothly
as possible and that's the whole point prepping that's all we want is the best days Ever every
