Survival / Prepper Pantry upgrades! Minuteman Gun Cabinet  

Glad to see someone else like me. For years I was told I was a nut.....over a decade now been told that. I have several building on my property and a cabin I built for my marine son. Long story there......... but I have supplies in every location as well as guns and ammo. Multiple redundancies. Multiple locations. 8 dogs🤷‍♂️. Rain water collection and storage for emergency. Fire wood for several yrs. Good luck to you. Good luck to all of us that prep

Prepper from Peru, Your videos are amazing!!!!

🇸🇪✌️🇺🇸 Prepper from Sweden, great channel you have

I'm from Poland, there's been a lot of talk about a potential war lately. I draw a lot of inspiration and motivation from people who can prepare for various threats. I wish everyone health and peace. I hope that we never had to use weapons to defend our families.

One fire extinguisher is not enough. Consider a more comprehensive fire safety plan. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors can save lives. Consider mounting one or more flashlights, emergency lighting. Love your pantry. Where’s the candy? Where’s the water? First aid kit? Thank you for your video. Love the paper plates. Paper cups? Have a wonderful 2024!

I’m Brazilian and here when I talk about preparation they look at me as if I was crazy. Unfortunately I have no support from the people I love. Congratulations on the teachings! I’m a beginner and I’m loving everything.

This is one hell of a life insurance policy. I can’t wait to get on this level 🤘🏻 looks awesome

Prep room looks great. Stocked but not over done. Love the setup area you kept for gun cleaning in there as well. You system sounds great..Well thought out.😊

Looks great man very functional and organized. I modeled my pantry after yours and love the walkthrough and upgrades! Glad you’re back up and running

love the idea for being ready at any situation

I know I’m late to the comments on this video, but I wanted to tell you how I store pasta. If the pasta is in a bag, I snip off a corner of the bag and put bag and all into a food saver bag and vacuum seal it. If it’s in a box, i empty the box into a vacuum seal bag and seal that. Obviously this won’t work for lasagna or manicotti noodles, but most of the small pasta works beautifully. You would be amazed at how many packages of vacuum sealed spaghetti you can pack vertically into a 5gallon bucket!

Nice pantry. For those interested, you can take milk crates and set on your storage shelves with the crate opening towards you and store your can goods in the crates. will generally hold about 32 cans per crate. Use a sharpie marker and date the lids on the cans and store laying down so you can see and access what you are using. If you find an item to stock up that is on sale and would like to add back to your supplies, simply stack it on top of your current supply in the crate, pull your crate off the shelf and flip it upside down and put back on shelf and then your older supply is still readily available on top(which is my favorite). In the event you need to relocate, simply pull the crates and contents, move them and stack them for transportation and everybody(cans) stays in their place. Sorry for the longwinded suggestion, but felt worth sharing on multiple levels of problem solving from daily use to that extreme situation that hopefully never needs to happen. Cheers:

The European Mind cannot comprehend this level of drip. Nice loadout.

Man that pantry is so neat and organized awesome everything is built nice love the gun cabinet nothing wrong with anything

Thanks for the tour, I recognize so much in terms of gear and thought process! Birds of a feather...

Fantastic set up!!!!! Lots of work and time I bet!!God bless you guys

Good job on dry food totes. Put buckets on the floor. Add a retainer board so mice don’t drop jars on the floor.

Good prepper pantry, well organised 👍

Very good video. Thank you. Stay safe and be blessed.

Awesome set up! Thanks for the inspiration

Bro, I'm From Brazil and i love your storage!! god bless you!!

Thank you! You gave given me some ideas in how to better arranged my own things

Glad that you are on the mend. Keep on keeping on🙏🏼

glad to see your feeling better 🤙🏼🍻

The battery box is awesome. I havenone as well. The battery tester will test batteries including C&D. Works great! 😊

Great video, thank you for the ideas, I’m starting my prepping journey and this was very helpful.

Very nice set up. Congratulations.👍🏻

I did some similar shelves in my basement. I added a thin 18 inch sheet of laminate under the shelf, I use that space for plastic bags, sponges, aluminum foil rolls, magazines, 1st aid supplies. just something to think about to utilize the maximum space.

Great walkthrough, Thank you!

Wow, nice set up! I wish I was that organized!

Wow, that is my dream my dad put that idea in my head since I was a kid. Working on in

I'd probably get a security door for the room. Saves you the gun safe and the rest of the preps are also more secure. Also could double as a sort of panic room. That is, if you're walls are concrete or brick and mortar.

Hey Idaho, I'm in Spokane! Good work man. I just wanted to give a mouse tip for a nontoxic solution. Jiffy mix cornbread and baking soda mix in dry form in a little bowl works! My chickens love fresh mouse meat lol especially when we find the best of babies. Some may think it's cruel and I'm sorry but it works! Lol

Awesome man

TIP glad your feeling better, And I really like your Pantry very nice set up.

If your tourniquets are in that clear bin, no bueno, unless they are spares. You should have one easily accessible out of that bin. Try mounting at least one on one of those support wood posts, kind of the way you have your fire extinguisher mounted. That way if one of you gets cut or shot in one of those main arteries, it can be easily visible to whoever is needing to get it. Seconds can count.

I just started recently prepping for disaster and war or anything in general to be honest. I’ve started with things like water, self-defense, and food. Right now I’m building a shed that’s gonna have shelves in it that can hold 150 boxes. I’ve really been enjoying it to be honest too. It’s fun and I love building my equipment collection especially when there’s a reason for it and I feel safer at night.

Beautiful!

Very nice pantry! Love the organization!

Excellent idea 💡 about the medical books 📚 👌 😊

Good deal. My buckets are all variety buckets.

Make sure you reload , save your brass. Salvage what you can from the range, it can be traded or sold. I visit Idaho for the Post Falls Spring show. Staple some velcro to the 2x4 then put some on your hydrometer/thermometer !

Awesome 208 ❤

Great video - prepper pantry goals! We used to have loads of mice in an office block I worked in - pest control told us mice can eat through plastic tubs 😩and to opt for metal ones where possible.

for Mice.. don't throw away your pepermint teabags.. place them inside the plastic cases.. mice/ants/mosquitos/fleas.. don't like peppermint or lemongrass... you can also grow lemongrass in a small pot and place it in the windows in the kitchen area.. gets sunlight and grows.. you can cut it short like a Japanese Bonsai tree and use the cutout grass as green tea.. (lots of benefits for drinking 2 cups of lemongrass (lunch and dinner) per person per day.

Thanks for a great video. Carry On Sir!

Nice prepping buddy good job 👏

Fantastic set up! I like how you didn't just focus on food. Really nice tactical preps. Plenty of food, medical, communications etc. I also like the silver idea and the chickens. Are you able to hunt and fish near your house? You might want to load up on more water and TP. I'm going to do rain catchment in the Spring and get a Lifesaver brand Jerrycan. Be safe.

An idea to mount the rifles.. a big version of a hasp and staple.. mount the hinge in the back, and the lock part up front, using the 2x4 shelves as a mount to bolt to. Turn the rifle sideways, and u could still use that fork mount for the barrel.. Put some padding around the bar, to prevent scratching. And get a fingerprint lock, so for fast grabbing, u wouldn't need to hassle for a key. And u wouldn't be able to slide the rifle up or down to remove, due to shelf and ceiling. U would have tear all that stuff out to get the rifles out.

Great video! Love your storage room. I just recently got two battery daddies and I love them. I’m giving 6 of them away from Christmas. Love those buddy heaters also. Greetings from neighboring Utah.

Good job!!

I'm a helo pilot,, so I love the checklist idea,,, good wife !!

Way to go, nice setup

this is my dream ever😊

I know what u can do to secure the guncabinet, go buy a 50 gallon barrell of clear surboard resin and catalyst...Shut the cabinet and lock it. Remove the top of cabinet, and pour in all 50 gallons of resin, add catalyst accordingly .replace top... Leave for 3 days. Pry door open and there you go! All weapons are safely secured in a giant block of resin! Your welcome

thank you,,this is the very basic i need to start

This looks amazing. It takes time to acquire all the supplies but do a little at a time and it accumulates. The 5 gallon pails are excellent but too heavy for some older folk. We use the square pails of cat litter and fill them with mylar and vacuum sealed bags of long term food supplies. They also serve as good 'grab and go' buckets. God bless.

great stuff man !

nice pantry!! we all need to be prepared......

Nice setup.

Great video! Coffee, drink it black and never look back.😊

I just subscribed, fantastic content. I'm in the UK and started preparing a couple of years ago. A quick word on what i call "reaction comments" which are those comments one(and i've made my fair share) makes immediately, often ego driven & usually without much thought. A perfect example would be the comments regarding safety/security issues i.e how one could make entry with a screwdriver, etc relating to this gentleman's minuteman gun cabinet...a moments reflection of just how extremely well prepared this guy is across the board, the content on his channel, his demeanor & the general impression one gets from him are all strong indicators the guy knows what the #*¥# he is doing & would not build a "wooden safe" but would in fact build what was needed to suit his purposes. Cheers Jon

Dude ready to deal with ton of zombies😂

great video!

Keep up the good work bud

Queria puder morar num país de 1” mundo para ter condições de me preparar assim! Aqui no Brasil é muito difícil, vamos fazendo o que dá! Parabéns

Hi, I’m trying to make some checklists, protocols for certain scenarios, family plan too. Would be great to see your take on this

Ye ole pantry lookin good 👍🏼

Super cool im so jaleous!

We will need a lot more people like the Idaho prepper!! Too bad people are still sleeping and delusional!!

Great to see you back online! Thank you for the video! I would screw a washer disc at the shelf, and this should hold the hygrometer since it seems to have a magnet at the back. All the best! Kind regards from Germany Tobias

Respect from Japan.

You should consider adding 1-2 iodine tablets to your wallet in case you are not home in a nuclear emergency Time is the primary survival factor (Time, Distance and Shielding).

Good to see you

Leave your GHB in a tote in vehicle with good worn boots/shoes. Vacume seal ammo into the bag. Go to harbor freight and creat a pistol and full mags in each one for each vehicle. You never know when SHTF. 17:42

Also consider diamond sheeting the inside of the cabinet. If someone takes an axe to the outside of the cabinet, they will have even more materials to get through than they thought.

Great video, man. I'm working on making a get home bag and a bugout bag. Wish me luck things are super expensive!

Nice!

Empty mason jars hold water really well then they add to water reserve

Very nice

Your children are lucky to have u

So it makes a good short term pantry but if you want it for long tern I suggest Freeze Dried Food in Number 10 cans like Augustin Farms. A lot of what I'm seeing here won't last for than 12 months expiration date. 20 to 25 year food is what I would go for. Mice and rats cat touch it because there in a tin can. You should strengthen your shelving by cutting 2x4's two fit against the outer 2x4 that's acting as a leg by placing the 2x4 pieces between the selves directly under each self screwed against the outer 2x4 leg it will strengthen the support beam and you will need to do the same along the back corners if you plan to use those top shelves for all those buckets which has to be pretty heavy and should be on floor level lighter stuff should be stored on the shelves.

caught a glimpse of the amrron patch WOOHOOOO!!!!!!

No meu pais eu nunca vi uma caixa de armazenamento de pilhas igual ao seu . parabéns

Great! so many don't show a real over view!

dont run the cable through the trigger guard, someone could still rob you for your uppers and walk awy with the most expensive componenets lol but I love your setup, looking to do something similar in my basement and this is full of great ideas. Thanks!

Your fortunate enough to have lots of money to buy such..

This is awesome! I do want you to take 1 thing into consideration though. This is months old but I consider getting a “Gas Mask” if riot agents somehow get in your area when SHTF.

The good thing about living and preparing in the USA is that you can have guns for protection. Here in Bra zil right now is almost impossible to get a legal gun, due to this com munist gover nment that is gover nin the coun try. It is a pitty. Be safe!

Great video! If it's a standard trigger guard on an AR, cable might not work since they open for winter gloves.

I think you don't need a blender for laundry soap. I just use oxygen powder and zote soap. I use a cheese grater to crumble the zote soap. It's easy, and basically no preparation beforehand. It just takes like 30 seconds or less to grind up a bit of soap. probably less than 10 seconds, even. It's not even a chore at all.

Get a labeled for totes and other shelves.

So esperando os zumbi..... nice

Dude great setup I said it before when I saw your first video on this well it may have been your first video but the first video about your pantry I saw I absolutely love cuz I'm an issue where I have to do something where I build a separate room so that I can fix my pantry cuz it's just a disaster right now and I use the same system I don't use like the big 5 gallon bags to store things like rice flour oatmeal beans I use smaller I think I use two quart Yeah I think I use the two quart bags so pretty much it's you know when you buy like you know a 5 lb bag of rice it all fits in like one bag because I don't want to be lugging around a whole 5 gallons of rice either So but I was thinking about putting them in square crates bins not crates but bins instead of the buckets and using the buckets more for other stuff I don't know cuz I have a ton of buckets which I mainly plan on using to grow food but I love your setup I'm probably going to use some of your ideas when I actually build mine and implement it Great job another great video Oh yeah and I had that same flu a couple weeks ago horrible horrible

Nice job buddy - We've done the same thing just on a vastly reduced scale than you. Loving those stickers on the freezer - We're MAGA fans from New Zealand :)

Dude, you had COVID-19 for sure. Glad you're doing well!

♥️👍 from Germany.
