This is my in progress food storage. I have been working on it for about 2 months now. My goal is to have approximately 3 months of a food in storage by the end of October. I feel that I have about 1 1/2 – 2 months currently, with some items that are more/less from that goal.

Milk jugs will …
Milk jugs will NEVER degrade if they end up in a landfill.
@astrialkil So …
@astrialkil So true about the milk jugs! I had seven bottles of water and after only a few months, three of them started leaking. So I found out the hard way that milk jugs don’t work well. I’m planning to purchase some 55 gallon barrels to store water. If you add a preservative to the water, you only have to rotate your barrels every five years. Just something to think about.
Enjoyed ur video.

I use empty bleach bottles for storing water. 1-1.5 gal. Thanks for sharing God Bless.

@astrialkil
I do that myself plus mouthwash bottles. Walmart also sells 7 gallon water storage tanks with spigot dispensers. They’re designed specifically for long term water storage & are odor free. $10.50 a piece.
I also save liquid laundry detergent bottles. I cannot get the detergent odor out of them but I plan to use that water for showering & washing hands.
Dont store water in …
Dont store water in milk jugs! they are designed to degrade to prevent them from filling up land fills.
I also wouldn’t buy water that comes in milk jugs for the same reason. get 20 2L pop bottles. on sale (store brand) at 60 cents each that is$12 . and u get to drink the soda! 20=10 gallons. that’s 5 days for 2 people.
If you have a deep …
If you have a deep freezer in your house you can purchase bags of ice to extend the life of your frozen food items. They should give you a few extra days of cold storage in the event of a power outage.
Great video thanks …
Great video thanks for sharing! Take a look at my site and tell me what you think.
good supplies. You …
good supplies. You have a lot of dry milk, that stuff is expensive and takes up so much room so I don’t have more than one box of that. I keep it in the freezer along with extra flour that won’t fit in my airtight container.

@Jollyprez Also bubble wraps helps.
Most of your foods …
Most of your foods are for cooking. I think you must buy ready meals as well as we never know if we have time or resources available during emergencies.
wow calm down! i’m …
wow calm down! i’m sure 3 month supply is just fine!
Give you a tip on …
Give you a tip on those stacks of cans – cut out flat cardboard and place it in between the cans – one piece to make a “flat”. Makes the whole thing a lot more stable.
I usually get 3/4 flats from Walmart. They cut down the boxes that cans come in, with an open front, and three sides about 2 inches high. You can stack cans six feet high doing that.
Wake up man. Store …
Wake up man. Store enough for at least a year. The price of food WILL go through the roof!
What will you do when your friends and neighbors come begging for food? Not to mention your extended family.
A ton of rice, a ton of wheat, a ton of pasta and a 1/2 ton of beans.
Store water.
Invest in silver rounds, APMEX.
Buy supplies, TP, soap, etc..
Water: Buy a tarp to nail to your roof, use PVC pipe to drain water to rain barrels. Water filters from fast filters, 1 micron filters.
Prepare NOW!
If you don’t have …
If you don’t have alot of space consider dehydrating your food instead of canning. Atleast go and look it up. Also start couponing, its easier than you think. Go to A Full Cup and learn from veterans who have been doing for years and years. My own goal this year is to obtain a two year supply within one year using coupons. My feeling I will get close to doing it. And never pay retail while doing it. Another thing, plan out 3 months of menus, then you know what you need to buy.
bugs still get in …
bugs still get in to white flower. In canada they do. so, I am sure it will happen were your from as well.
all im worried …
all im worried about is stale food alright, all of this stuff approximately lasts for 2 years, im not concerned over no natural disasters, but food scarcity and martial law, kind of sounds ridiculous to me….I’ve never prepared like this before in my life, only reason i recently did this is because my parents are still with me, so i hope these ” patriots” are right about what they’re saying is coming…or else i would retaliate for putting me on stress over a year
Im also unemployed …
Im also unemployed and all that food i stored is a blessing now, my faily doesnt think im so crazy now
you heard wrong I …
you heard wrong I live in the western part of canada and if you dont have flour wraped up properly bugs will get in it. I use tupperware containers for flour it works well,
great
I also …
great
I also heard white flower is ignored by bugs. make tortias and banik, and keep baking powder or baking soda.
great job, you just get better the longer you learn.
Like your video & …
Like your video & the “Nutella” idea is brilliant…..a jar of Nutella & a few spoons would probably make your kids think that a emergency/collapse is a holiday!!!!
Thanks for sharing this.
60 bucks at Aldis …
60 bucks at Aldis will get you 2 months of food LOL
i really hope it …
i really hope it was worth the effort buying all of this nonperishable food that lasts for 2 years i spent tons of money on this and im unemployed so im broke now
