To keep your family safe in all types of circumstances. Here on Survival Preparedness For Beginners, the goal of this channel is to give you the information that you need in order to keep your family safe in all types of circumstances. I try to do a mix of videos so that you have the information and the tools to protect you your family, your home at all times. To help you avoid the Pitfall of not being prepared, because knowledge is the greatest thing you can have.
I enjoyed this video. Thanks. Only one thing. You said nothing grows without oxygen. I thought that might be incorrect. I looked it up & found something by the University of Utah saying Botulism grows without oxygen (Anything anaerobic can grow without oxygen)I was shocked & a bit confused now. I will keep researching “best practices”
I BUY THE 20 POUND BAG OF GREAT VALUE, ITS THE CHEAPEST QUANTIY IVE FOUND, MUCH CHEAPER THAN BUYING 50 POUND BAGS! im 66 years old and married to 36 year old STEFFY, WHO IS A FILIPINA! she eats rice every day of her life! i was as a hillbilly, by hillbillies! been a survivalist since i was 10 years old!! i store my rice in mylar inside a 5 gallon bucket with oxygen absorbers, but i also vacuum seal the bags, using a floor vacuum with a hose and adapted down to just 1/4 of an inch inside diameter. a 5 gallon bucket is about 15 inches tall, so i built a enclosed bed frame that is 15 inches tall so my wife has several hundred pounds of rice right under her bed. i also built 15 inch deep floor trusses, and ran those down the length of my 53 foot long refer trailer! thats 6 rows of trusses 53 foot long! this created an elevated floor 15 inches above the grooved aluminum floor of the trailer. this creates 5 rows of 5 gallon buckets! i have a friend with a certified organic farm so i get 35 gallon garbage cans of grains from him. living rural in hilly country, i bulldozed several gaps in some hills. i then put semi trailers in these gaps, and built concrete block walls and poured a concrete roof over these trailers. then filled in the sides and covered the roof with 4 feet of dirt. and planted native grasses on the hill.the end that has the opening,is camouflaged real good with living plants.
What do you think about freeze drying cane Goods like chili chicken and noodle soup could you make it less than 25 years doing it that way or would it is it possible
I plan to store a 50-pound bag LG white Rice in clear plastic vacuum bags. Have already set my work area up and ready to start making 1-2-3 cup bags and fill a 5-gallon plastic bucket. As you stated, these will be great for bartering if SHTF, Plus, I am alone, so 1 cup is enough for me. Doing the same with a large cardboard container of 2 plastic bags of original Oats. Then I will move on to other foods, like pinto beans.
I store mine like my mawmaw taught me. In canning jars. Then place them on the shelves behind the other canned goods. No issues. Hope that helps someone.
I store my rice and beans in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers, 2 cups of rice, or 1 pound of beans in a quart-size bag. I use a Food Saver and don't worry because the vacuum isn't that strong. The bag lightly compresses the contents til it feels like a solid but there is still enough air for the oxygen absorber to work. This method makes it easy to detect failures. If the bag contents become loose or move easily when you squeeze it, you have a bag failure or some process is happening that produces gas, insect activity, or some sort of decomposition. Failures usually manifest within months of sealing. I usually just use those up rather than try to repackage them.
Set it and forget it: food save in mason jar, put in a sock to protect from friction next to other jars, then goes into a 5 gallon bucket. Then put bags of salt to keep everything from jiggling if you need to move it. This method makes it immune to the freeze thaw, and so perfect for storage locker or non climate controlled environment
Six months before Covid hit, I kept having a feeling something was going to happen. I spoke with my husband about just preparing a little bit, but he was not on board. Every time I went to the grocery store I kept having these feelings so I decided to stock up on toilet paper. It reached the ceiling of my garage twice. Covid hit and no toilet paper was to be found. I shared with my children and grandchildren who couldn’t find any, neighbors bought some from me and I didn’t gouge them but accepted payment on what I had paid for it. I was blessed.
I can tell you why bother storing rice in a 2 liter bottle. The bottle is much thicker and more puncture proof than the bags. Another reason you could take a bottle of rice on a day hike and set up a burried cache. Then record the GPS OE COMPASS COORDINATES TO MOUNTAIN PEAKS. WRITE THOSE BEARINGS DOWN. Take bearing x on one peak and move along that bearing until you get bearing y on the second peak. X marks the plaxe for a cache within 12 inches or so. Your caches will be in the dark at a lower temperature AND YOU CAN ALSO USE AN OXYGEN ABSORBER TOO. i know the cross bearing technique with lensatic or sighting compass works because i puta penny in thr yard and recorded the bearings and went out and found the penny the following day and was within 6 inches of the penny
Third world countries mostly eat yellow and white yam banana plantain green and roast breadfruit dasheen sweet and Irish potatoes coco cassava and patio hardly eat rice mostly on Sundays
Funny you put up mandarin oranges to represent a bulging can . I ate my way through a bunch of canned goods past their expiration date ... some by 10 years . Out of all of it , the only bad can in entire batch were mandarin oranges in light syrup . A different brand but the can looked identical .
I have problems with infestations, mainly bird seed moths. It seems the moth eggs are already in the rice when purchased. I've also had problems in the past with rodents so store my rice in a galvanized feed can I got from Tractor Supply that has a locking lid. Rodents will eat through plastic so I think a metal can is best for beans and grain. I've never used O2 absorbers. Thanks for the tip.
For the small volume dry goods such as 2 pounds of beans I use my small chamber vacuum this would work well for small flour amounts as well. No need to worry about the flour being vacuumed up as chamber doesn’t work that way
As others have said salt and sugar last forever. There is no need to vacuum seal. I mean the salt you sprinkle on your fries is probably 10 or 100 million years old
Toothpaste for burns. It works even better than ice! Slather White Toothpaste immediately on the burn to stop the pain in a few minutes and stop the burn from going deeper. A must have!
Im just putting it in empty glass wine bottles with a screw on lid . The glass seems to help keep the contents cooler. Thanks for the video , so this rice will last about 3-5 years? I'll get some oxygen absorbers for longer term storage . Great video
It sounds like you are guessing on the longevity. You never talked about you experience on having done your process 30 years ago and then successfully eaten it 30 years later. Taking the time to do it right is not a waste of time. Those "bad boys" are worth the time. I feeze the rice in their bags. I then put the rice in ball jars and heat to 240 degrees for an hour to dry it and to hwat it to help kill any eggs. Then while still hot, I put an oxygen absorber in it, put the lid on, and vacuum seal it hot.
I separate my white rice into several servings...I put my rice in a brown lunch bag and fold the bag down write info on it then put in my food saver bag, suck air out and seal. Then I put them all in a tote.30+ years
You can use...Bay Leaves...with your rice in a 5 gal bucket. Bay leaves will kill the wevils that may be in the bags with the rice. A few in bottom, middle way and in top.
