I started dreaming about God telling Joseph to prepare for 7 years of famine. It took me a few to get the message, but God kept at it until I heard Him. And He told me to test Him on providing, because we couldn't afford to. I started tithing faithfully, and prepping at the same time. There are months that I have absolutely NO CLUE how God did it, but He has provided abundantly! And I was planning on a years supply, but I keep hearing 2 years, so I'm finally listening. Pray, and trust. God will provide for His children!!!
During the war the government was telling families to grow a garden and have backyard chickens to “do their part” on the home front. This same mentality should be going on today too.
Imagine what would have happened if he chose not to listen. So many would have died just like today. People aren’t protecting themselves and now millions are dead. I’m so grateful that God has been warning everyone & those who hold life sacred will be the ones to survive God willing.
That's what I tell everybody. Some Christians don't feel the need to which is fine I guess.. yes God can provide! but he is also giving u all the warning signs to prepare for yourself and your family. We don't know how much we will have to go through before the Lord takes his ppl. Better safe than sorry 🤷♀️
@@olanizimmerman remembering Noah and all those who ignored him and made fun of him. So many other examples as well. I suppose folks think every is going to manna falling from heaven. Sometimes just doing what is right and normal is manna from heaven. I'm reminded of a man in a flood.He prayed for God to help him. It started to rain and water was rising. A fire dept came to his rescue. He said he was waiting on God. The water got much higher he retreated to the second floor. A man in a boat came for him. He called out he was waiting on God. Finally the water was so high he was on the roof. Once more a helicopter came to rescue him and once again he cried out he was waiting on God. The moral to the story is God answered his prayer 3 times but he ignored the obvious for the miraculous. Faith is not the absence of wisdom and is not the absence of doing.
At age 53, I planted my first seed a couple months ago. I spend a couple hours a day learning skills like gardening, baking, preserving, etc. channels like yours have been a life saver. It’s just time to do this now. Never had an intuitive yearning like this, best comparison would be “nesting” when you’re pregnant. I am single but am food preserving for as many people as possible. There will be many others like me that never had more than 2 days food in house. I spent $40 a day eating out, living in the city. Those days are over.
I am the oldest of 8 children in my family. I was born in 1955 and we grew up in the 60’s. My mom had 8 children in 10 years. My father is a baker. We didn’t have much money so my dad did most of the shopping since we only had one car. My parents had a large pantry and always kept it well stocked with canned fruits ,vegetables and potatoes ,evaporated milk, instant potatoes etc. We lived in suburban Long Island , New York. So we didn’t grow anything but grass, shrubs and flowers. But my parents kind of taught me to always have extras in the pantry and to buy things in larger quantities when things were on sale, which was an absolute necessity when we were growing up. Times were tough. I have been slowly stocking up on canned fruits, vegetables and meats, flour, water, juices, evaporated milk, dry milk, baking powder, rice, broth,soups, paper products, plastic wrap and bags, soaps, toothpaste, medications etc. I have seen the problems on the news with trucking, possible severe supply shortages, issues that could be related to the war in Ukraine and our government telling us that we will experience a cyber attack at some point. I have seen the weekly food and product prices going up from .50 to $2.00 at a time. I have seen empty shelves in Walmart and my local supermarket, no pasta, no water, no cream cheese, no mozzarella cheese, no yogurt. Low supplies of milk, canned goods, butter and others. I started slowly stocking up about 2 -3 months ago when I noticed these things .. I think it is wise to be prepared. I have 4 grown children. I live in Florida now for almost 30 years, and my two boys live nearby and one of my daughter is moving here in two months from CA with her family. So I am trying to prep for them too! I am going to start freezing some more things, but living in Florida and having experienced many hurricanes on the east coastal area, I know what it is like to be out of power for 2 weeks in 90 degree weather. You live out of coolers with ice. We also have a generator, which we purchase gas for ahead of time, but how can you be sure it will be available if there is a crises. We have a charcoal grill, a propane gas grill, battery run fans and I recently bought battery run lamps that are great. I usually depended on flashlights and small battery tea lights. I just purchased a set of battery candles also and some previously mentioned items in case the power grid ever goes down. I used to make homemade honey whole wheat bread all the time in the 70’s and 80’s using fresh yeast after taking a bread baking class. I plan to try it again soon, hopefully I still remember how! I would like to purchase some dried beans and am interested to learn to cook recipes with them. I also have seen several videos on how to grow potatoes in 20 gallon containers and would like to try carrots also and anything else possible. We are landscapers here in Florida. But haven’t really tried a food garden. We just grow herbs. I don’t know if this is possible now with hot weather coming by May . But I would like to know what I can grow here. I have only tried tomatoes in the spring and the plants didn’t last once the hot weather hit. We also have lots of critters: raccoons, moles, squirrels (that eat EVERYTHING including my hibiscus flowers) and dig in my potted plants. I agree with you that it is common sense to be prepared. Glad to have found your channel. 😊💕
It doesn't have to be a national issue, it could be a car repair that cuts into your food budget for the month. Prepare during better times for troubles in the future.
The word of God says, faith without works is dead. Therefore, you are standing on your faith and preparing(your works). So keep doing what you are doing.
First time watching.Thank you for not sharing fear..big difference! I’m a 72 yr.old widow living alone.Downsized my garden but use container gardening. When Covid was still in early stages ,I paid attention and started stocking up on food,etc. weekly. Bottom line - I had one friend who thought I was nuts. Guess who got asked for some items? Big difference from stocking up and hoarding.
I do find it odd that so many people think that having our homes stocked well is odd and hoarding. As you said, our grandparents and great grandparents stocked and it was totally normal and excepted. They would have been deemed crazy if they didn't! We have stepped up our prepping for the past two years, got out of debt, had a whole house backup generator installed, growing vegetables, and saving, saving, saving!
I like to prep my pantry for anything that could happen. I grew up in a large family. My mom used to have us kids help with canning from our garden. She will buy extra food and can goods to place in hers pantry closet. When she see sales on meats, she buy it and place it hers deep freezer. My mom grew up during war time when food was ration. There were foods that you could not get because it was stock pile for our soldiers to provide for them. I just looks at it as a blessing to learn how to prep because you don't know what the future will have for us. Besides that I can give to my family when in need. My mother always said that you never know what tomorrow will bring. Just be prepared for the future. I remember as a child that the state that I lived in have a very bad snow storm. This storm shutdown majority of the state for over a week and you have to walk everywhere. The closest supermarket was about 3miles away from home. This maybe one of the reasons why my mom did what she did for her family.
Love you guys...My doomsday UNprepared event was a California earthquake, 6.9. What I had in my small food pantry was thrown into the middle of the kitchen. Broken bottles of oil, vinegar, catsup, and the like was 6" deep on the kitchen floor with every piece of glass I owned. To say I learned the hard way, was quite a learning experience. I wouldn't wish doomsday on anyone, but I'm grateful for the lesson. Be prepared folks!
Prepping & planning ahead is wisdom. This kind of conversation is necessary. Too many people have no stockpile to fall back on. When we had Covid & couldn’t go to the store, we ate from our stockpile and we’re just fine.
Remembering and applying the Biblical story of the young women and the bridegroom and having only some prepared by having extra lamp oil. Check it out! Matthew 25:1-13
One grandmother taught me skills I never thought I would need. I am blessed that she taught me how to sew, gardening, and canning. My other grandmother is 103 by the grace of God. The stories she has told me about the depression has made me triple think things. Especially since our first grandbaby is due this year. Thank you for mentioning our Lord. Not many people realize God will answer your prayers when He is ready not when you're ready. We're on His time.
@@anniemcelroy2812 amen. I am blessed for the grandmother's God gave me. I tried to explain to my kids this has happened before and we need to be ready for it. Especially with the world being more technological more than before. Technology crashes the world will be in a complete panic
My 1st hubby wouldn't pay the bills (didn't want to work and when he did he drank his pay check) we didn't have food. The utilities were shut off all the time. We were evicted from 4 apartments. We lost everything over and over again. Divorced that fool. 2 ND hubby works like a man , pays the bills makes sure all the bills are paid and I have issues with loosing everything and I have trouble throwing away things that ''might be usable'' he says throw it away. Buy new. No way ! Been married 33 years this time and he is now seeing I might have issues but things are coming in handy that I didn't throw away! I definitely have been stocking up! Praying for the world! Praying for peace!
I'm praying for all ears to hear this message. It's not a message of fear, but to be fortunate to prepare for the time ahead. May God speak to each of you through the holy spirit and guide you. Keep preparing and pray without ceasing.
My grandmother favorite quote. Woman had a basket of flower bulbs. She prayed lord take these bulbs and make them bloom you don't need me. He answered you plant them, water, pull the weeds,give them the care they deserve and I will make beautiful flowers
Watching from Belgium, Europe. We have been prepping since half a year. Prices here have been up recently with 50%. Flour, pasta and oils are difficult to find and limited. We started growing our own vegetables, although our garden is not that big. Many people here have hardly knowledge about what is to come. Blaming the war and hoping that it will pass soon. It won't. Things are getting very serious very quickly. Thanks for the analysis and the tips. Whishing your family all the best!
My sister and her family live in Belgium too and I worry for them daily. They are used to shopping every other day and have no backup plan or even a small stockpile.
Thanks sharing how it is in other countries. I read Portugal is rationing. I'm UK and we assumed shortages and price rises were brexit now not so sure. We live in city so growing items in garden and we have an allotment which is like a garden plot you rent off the council. We are trying create a stockpile too. Even aldi and lilds prices are rising. Our UK 🇬🇧 energy bills and petrol ⛽ are huge too. Inflation now 7%.
Good day Louise from Neuerburg Germany. We too have been prepping for about 2 years or so now. Here too flour, pasta, oil you can forget about getting it now. I am not sure about Belgium but the new problem here is no canned tomatoes or tomato paste of any kind. Here too the prices are absolutely ridiculous. I almost fainted at the cost of 1 kg of mixed ground meat €9.18. We have expanded our garden as much as possible this year too. I plan on canning (pressure canning too) everything I can get out of my little garden. I pray for everyone out there that they wake up and realize what is happening. Very hard times are coming. Please take care of you and Keep prepping! Don't wait! Get whatever you can get or afford to care for yourselves and your loved ones. Liebe Gruß aus Der Eifel Jacqueline 😊
I've been buying extra food for the past few months and I also make sure we always have extras of things we use all the time. I also bought a food dehydrator and dehydrate vegetables on the weekends. I had to create a secret prepper pantry that my husband doesn't know about 🤫 I think his first reaction would be that I'm crazy, but when he found out about my secret cash stash he didn't seem to mind.... (side note - I also started a container vegetable garden 🤞🤗)
Just a little note. First time meeting you. I am 75 yrs old, and raised by parents who came thru the depression era w their families too. My mom raised on a dairy farm, and my dad raised by a mom who gardened (8 kids in his family), who bartered, who took on foster kids. My parents always kept our pantries full, w case lots of canned goods, a dairy cow for our milk, chickens , and beef cows. Our horses served as lessons for people, and winter sleigh rides. Mom.a nurse, Dad built a lumber company making pallets. Our pantries, freezers full. My generation just always had been prepped...and do still and have done as normal...
I'm a 30 year prepper here I learned from my grandmother and mother. I don't let anyone tell me different then what i know.I can always provide my family with everything. I'm proud of that.
my aunt had an attic full of extra food, She and my grandmother would go to orchards, and buy in bulk. She canned all she could from her in town garden. This was the 1960's. Besides the depression, they remembered WW2, with the food rationing. She only had 1 child, and worked in a factory. We thought she was rich. I think she was prepping for her extended family , not just her own.
Mama always said, "God will take care of you but He also gave you the good sense to get in out of the rain." Being prepared doesn't mean we have no faith, it means we're using the good sense that God give us.
Family of 8 here, too! Including 2 teenage boys and one Special Needs toddler with specific dietary needs! I want to say thank you for this video. I started stocking up about 6 months ago, and have recently been teaching myself to can and dehydrate and am about to start my second garden. My family thinks I'm crazy and aren't very supportive, so it's nice to see videos like this reassuring that others feel the same. ❤
Good for you mama! I also have a special needs kiddo and need to prepare specifically for her. Your little one doesn't know how lucky they are to have you!
Me too. I’m kinda doing this on my own in my family. However, it gives me peace KNOWING we’ll be okay. I thought Covid would have changed their minds as we were GOOD! I needed just basics fresh dairy, fresh produce, etc., everything else was covered.
Hi, watching from New Zealand and we are experiencing empty shelves in our supermarkets, I have not seen this in my lifetime, thank you for the information, so helpful.
We had 20 people in our family..thank God both mom and dad worked we had 4 freezers 1 beef ,1pork1 chicken poultry, 1 for veggies,1 for wild game plus she canned everything that wasn't red hot or nailed down so we had 180 archer farm.and all the aminals
We are big farmer's in Culver Oregon we lost our field equipment, that's alot our tractor's, harvest equipment, planting equipment, truck's, loader's, you name it it's went up for Action April 1,2022 your not going to get food from us I don't care what people feed you. Were not saling our stock hurds were keeping them being most went to slaughter and we can't let go any more. I wouldn't come out but people are just going around like a store is going to keep food. NO are you not seeing these store's close there door's 147 and more Walmart closed down for good and more to come.
I have 6 children, too - 4 boys, 2 girls … but they are now your age. Ages 29-40, and they’ve given me 10 grandchildren. I agree, being prepared takes daily planning, daily thinking, and I’m sure there are many things I’m missing. But, I’m trying! ☺️
Lolol - I just got to your part about ketchup. 😁 When my kids were growing up, every grocery day I had to buy 2 large bottles of ketchup - one for the family and one for our little Joy. It was a major food group for her! 😂
I only had 3 children but my three did eat tons of food! They were growing and needed it. The oval office has stated there WILL be shortages, price increases and supply chain problems. They dont tell you until it's almost upon you/us. This is reality and should be taken seriously. They are telling you!
Great advice and I totally agree. I have been stocking up. Even tho I am one person, I want to have enough to help others if need be. I live in a small apt and have bought 2 small hydroponic systems so I have fresh veggies all the time. I have a solar generator as well to keep my fridge and hydroponics systems going in case the grid goes down. I keep an eye on what’s going on around the world and don’t listen to the fake news either. It’s not a fear thing to be prepared. Love your videos! Thanks 😊
It's strange that it's become a bad thing to be prepared. Our grandparents and great grandparents were much more self sufficient. We've always had plenty of food in our home, but we started adding a little at a time since January of 2020. It totally saved us during some layoffs. I've been laughed at by family for our food storage, but I don't care. My boys will not starve! Thank you for bringing attention to this very important issue. I think people are starting to wake up finally.
It’s not a bad thing to be prepared but it is not trendy to be “selfish”. People who don’t want to prepare throws names at the people who do. I could care less what other people think of me because they are not going to be there to feed my family when they are hungry. Their “popular opinion” is not going to help me if my husband looses his job or gets hurt, ect.
My dad and mom both grew up in the depression and both said they never went hungry because their families were self sufficient with gardens and raising animals.
Gosh it’s so true that people think we are crazy to stock our pantries. I don’t get it. Worst case scenario, if things get better in a a couple of years, I can donate the canned goods to shelters that are close to expiring. It’s a win win!
Remember it is hard to throw someone a life preserver when you need one yourself. Amazing how some will say I can't believe how much food you have stocked up, but yet those same people will never say the same thing about money. You can't eat money. I call it food saving just like putting money in savings which I call being wise
I appreciate running across your page. im a divorce single mom of 4 in grad school and ive been prepping and asked myself if it was fear based and not trusting the Lord or if I was simply being prepared. I dont have anyone to have those talks with so this really helped me exhale and trust what I feel in my heart. thank you for sharing!
I agree that stocking the pantry for a few months is just normal living. I’m 60 yo, and still many peers just don’t do that. I read Proverbs and other scriptures that exhort being prepared for lean times. I don’t understand the resistance to planning for challenges that routinely happen. Thank you for discussing this so well!
You guys have a pretty nice setup. You are living like farm family's have lived for hundreds of years. Keep up the good work. Your turkeys are incredible looking.
We started stockpiling in 2020. We were warned many times. We were told over and over that prices would skyrocket if this resident was put in place in DC. We listened !!!! Don't forget about your pets and livestock, also meds and hygiene needs. FILL IT TO THE RAFTERS !!!
Yes! My favorite medical supplier is Refuge Medical, their profits go to getting kids out of child trafficking and into specialized rehab homes. Plus their prices are amazing and all made in the US and support many families. Their wound care bucket and Stop the bleed kit are the best deals but the individual first aid kit (ifak) are there most popular product. Also Jace Medical is a great way to get emergency antibiotics ahead of time, which is something the preparedness community has needed for a long time!
We've been already giving ourselves and the kids smaller portions per meal. We don't have a lot like many who are able. We live in an apartment. Family of 6. We have some things stocked and emergency foods. As a parent it never feels like enough. When shopping we pick up 2 of things such as dry beans, rice, canned items.
Spend time in prayer with Jesus Christ and he will protect and provide for your family. Pray for your family always, its powerful, walk by faith and not by sight. GOD BLESS
Lol. I used to buy 7 gallons of milk for 4 people weekly and need to buy a couple more gallons during the week when my kids were home. People would ask if if was having a party or donating it. Nope my kids and husband love milk, we don’t drink pop or juice. They love milk, they are farm kids but we don’t raise cows and our neighbors wouldn’t sell us raw milk even though my husband and I were raised on it from our farms. We grow our own vegies and fruit, I can and I hunt and process my own venison. I make my own noodles and bread. So I actually didn’t need to buy a lot in weekly groceries except for milk and a few basics butter, sugar! Flour and condiments. I am so proud to hear sensible people like you folks. I taught my children to be more self sufficient. I needed them to know how to process their own food for live to freezer. When my kids went to college my daughter had a small freezer in her dorm room and she had a crockpot. I would get her a deer and that is what she would eat. She had health issues eating the cafeteria food. She had frozen vegies and canned fruit. My son’s roommates in college couldn’t believe that he knew how to cook and clean. Lol. I also supplied them with homemade laundry soaps because it was so much cheaper. So you folks make me so proud that you are raising your children on how to be self sufficient. No one is going to 5pm e card of you. You need to take care of yourself so you can help others also. God Bless You!
Remember that God provides for all the little birds, but He doesn't throw it into their nest. Thanks for your knowledge and time. My parents grew up during the great depression we grew up growing and preserving a huge garden and raising animals on a small farm. It was just normal, and I am glad for learning all that we did.
This is really excellent. I live alone on my one acre homestead that I just acquired two years ago. I spent the last two years doing light renovations and making it ready for when I get older. I’m 64. I don’t have animals, I have bees, and my goal is to grow as much as I can. The winters are quite harsh, so it’s nothing for me to walk into Costco in the late fall and drop hundreds of dollars on a winter haul. It isn’t possible to grow everything and I don’t want to drive forty five minutes in a snowstorm to go to Napanee. 🇨🇦 I also want to can some meat products for when there are power failures. Sometimes storms come sweeping through here and they take down a lot of power lines. I am new here to your channel and I love this channel. Thanks for everything you do. Peace, love, and God bless you.
So wonderful to hear about your new homesteading adventure! Welcome to the Heartway Farms Family and thank you so much for your encouragement, kind words, and support! Blessings!
AMEN! My husband and I and our 4 teenagers live in Melbourne Australia and we are watching the downhill descent. I've been prepping since November 2021.. and man ... i just can't believe this is actually happening. Yahweh is my rock! Trust in him and he will guide you through these trials. Thank you btw for your videos..
I hear you on the teenagers. We are a blended family and had 5 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19. It was amazing to watch food disappear. Our Costco bill was consistently over $1000 every month, plus other grocery stores. Thankfully, we are past that and down to just 2 of us.
As a Mom of 7 I totally get the "judgement" thing ... Just do you and keep moving forward. I really appreciate the amount of thought and effort you both put into your conversational videos.
Survival is a personal responsibility. Many people just do not understand how fragile our modern way of life is, the power grid stops means modern life stops, anarchy, all hell breaks loose.
Totally enjoyed this video. My husband and I truly feel called to step out of the mentality that this world has created. We are born again Christians and God does want us to trust Him BUT He also wants us to stay busy. We pray over the seeds we start and our ground when we plant. And even pray over our flock of chickens. We have a community of like minded and are so blessed. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. Blessings from Kentucky!
#1 You could NEVER live in an apartment with all that family NOT that you'd want to, but you guys are REALLY LIVING your life. It's refreshing to see!!! REAL LIFE: I live in a semi-rural area where the power goes down OFTEN. I'm going to invest in a solar generator.. :)
This is a link to the Solar Generator that we have been using! It has worked well so far!! shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1865808&u=3095076&m=116483&urllink=&afftrack=
Honestly you don’t owe anyone any explanation. If they don’t like it they don’t have to watch. Unfortunately these days people will complain about everything anyway. It’s always good to be prepared for anything. Emergency management will tell you that! Lol 😂 our family loves to watch you all and appreciate the knowledge you share. I know it can be hard sometimes but just let those negative in constructive comments roll right off. May God richly bless you and your beautiful family!
There were six in our family, 4 boys…all athletes. It was crazy what they could eat. 😳 It’s just me and my spouse, but we’re prepared and buy from LOCAL farms and ranchers. We’re grateful for them. Give us this day our daily bread…thank you God. 💜🇺🇸🙏🏻
I’m glad you guys addressed this. I began preparing in 2020 and I’m still not where I want to be but I’m on my way and not slowing down. I try to be careful to listen to the voice of my spirit for the leading of the Holy Spirit as I continue.
We RAISED 5 SONS…Now 37,36,36,32,31. …..NOW MomMom to 9 grand babies 👶 one on the way with my mama living with us!!!! TOTALLY UNDERSTAND…Great/Grand PARENTS were farmers, gardening and canning PREPAREDNESS…KEEP PREPARING…GOD BLESS….
I have been watching your channel for just a few months and want to thank you for referencing our Lord and Savior! I enjoy watching your channel and the back-to-basics mentality that you share. I grew up with my parents growing most all of the veggies on the small lot we lived on. Mom canned or froze to preserve the garden food for the winter. Dad also got pigs a few times and we had backyard chickens sometimes as well. The Lord impressed me with such a sense of urgency in the fall of 2019 to start canning food that I bought on sale as we travel most every weekend for ministry and are never home to tend a garden. In August 2020 my husband lost his job. He still doesn't have a steady income but the Lord has provided!
Great video guys. We are a retired couple and live in a somewhat remote area. We learnt almost thirty years ago to be prepared. Our power goes off weekly, we have road closures often due to heavy snow, or storms or highways failures. We go into town maybe once every two months so we always buy in bulk. We don’t have animals but do keep bees, grow a garden and hunt. Thank you for your video and this subject. I hope people who don’t live like this, start now. PS..we are paying about 8.00 a gallon for gas/diesel right now..it’s insane
I watch most of your videos and I am so glad you are speaking about this. I live in Ireland and I have been preparing for the last 6 months and feel better about things. I am also growing my own fruit and vegetables for the past couple of years. I have stepped up my preparation skills by learning how to succession plant to get the most from my work. Thank you for your helpful suggestions and for being a lovely family.
You are both absolutely correct prices are going up daily last week I got 5 dozen eggs $6.69 today $13.97 I have been stocking up on sugar,flour, rice, beans I have collected between 40-60 pounds each pasta as well I am still adding more flour and sugar because my goal is to get us through for a year my budget is $600 for 5 teens/adults before I was able to stock up more I noticed this month it was getting harder to stock up but we are stretching our meats. I am getting my garden ready learning to can, learning to make bread, dehydrating things maybe for all the berries and apples that we grow. Definitely getting busy. Thanks for all the words of wisdom.
Yep! 100%! Grandparents definitely had a fully stocked root cellar and basement. Huge garden, hunted, fished. I'm proud to be from that background. Thank you for putting the word out!
I live in Miami and went through Hurricane Andrew in the 90s. We didn’t have power for a month during the hottest time of the year. And like most people, my parents didn’t prepare. Luckily neighbors shared what they had with each other.
Every 6 months my family goes to sams club and spends $1,500 on our staple items (food, cleaning supplies, etc). It saved our family from financial ruin when my dad had a major medical emergency. Don’t ever doubt the necessity of food storage for bad times. It gave my mom peace of mind to know that we would have food on the table when it became difficult to pay the medical bills and utilities and house payments.
I am totally not prepared. But, starting this week I'm going to grow my food supply. Im single and 63, semi retired and looking for a place with some room for a large garden. I've spent the last two years trying to catch up from the three years I took care of mom n dad in their home, until they passed in mid-2019. I have married sons with one daughter, each, so I know I won't be alone, but I want to be sure we all have food. 💜 Thanks for the talk!
My grandma had three freezers and I never understood why-my great grandmother lived on a farm in the south-so much normal stocking up for winter . We now live in the Midwest and many of my neighbors who have large farms are trying to decide if they are even going to plant this year
You should warn them. If they don't listen, you did what you could. My older sisters don't listen. I have asked - Have you noticed any shortages on pasta? No. Other conversations went like this- There's supposed to be a shortage on tomato goods. -- I haven't noticed. Are you concerned about food shortages? No. Maybe something will get their attention then a light bulb will go off.
I live in a 2 bed house with a small back yard. I am a proud prepper. The lord helps them who help themselves..We have been awakened for a reason. God bless you all
You are my type of preppers, I’m not prepping for 20 years from now, I’m prepping for 2-3 years and buying more local, increasing my gardening and canning/preserving skills. I live in a townhouse, and I rent community garden lots, and have over 20 pots around my property.
Have been doing the shopping. Now I want to earn things. I do vitamins homeopathy but now need to learn. I do live in the country and starting a garden onward and forward. Bless all
It doesn’t matter what people think “Fear of man is a snare”. Proverbs 29:25. Also, “But if anyone provide not for his own and especially for those of his household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel” 1Timothy 5:8. We have to provide for our families first & then others when we are able 🙏🏻
We do not have to provide for others, we have to provide for our own, especially those of our own house. We shouldn’t feed those who don’t eat. They are not “our own.”
Growing up a stocked pantry in the country & cooking from scratch with a large garden was normal for us. There is wisdom our elders have been through, I love chatting with my grandma 102 yrs old & been through the depression. Hubby & I started stocking our pantry during 2020 it wasn't easy with all the limits. We felt an urgency to get ahead of inflation & do what we can especially with my celiacs & needing gluten free. I made a few pantry videos to help gluten free folks. Great conversation 👌
🤩You are my people!! We have 5 kids, holistic healthy lifestlye, cook from scratch, my parents live with us, all the things. . . A well stocked pantry makes the bumps in the world more manageable and gives you more time to respond to whatever comes up.
I found shirts and pants and sneakers on clearance along with winter items. I grabbed up what I will use. I didn't over buy but got things I needed for my grandkids and us.
After 3 hurricanes hit our home in Florida in 2004 within 6 weeks, I learned many lessons. Our supply chain was really wrecked from mid August and took until Mid December to get fully back running. Many multi day power outages. Food loss. Been preparing since.
My husband and I had a pretty well stocked pantry, but a daughter and 3 kids just moved in with us. One (9yo) is on the edge of the Autistic/Asperger's spectrum and has texture issues plus some of his likes and dislikes change frequently. We had to sit down and make a list of things to add to our stockpile that he never turns down. We haven't made that shopping trip yet, but will be soon. And of course, what was going to last us 2 a year or more is now cut in half or less, so we feel much less prepared than we did a month ago. Definitely will need to up our game a bit!
We are remodeling a spare bedroom to include a pantry to keep our garden production. We live on a 16th of an acre urban using raised beds. It is our desire to introduce chicken next year. Thank you for the information you graciously share.
Sounds like a great plan!

Hello Josh and Annie, we have always kept a stocked pantry but a few years ago we were in limbo for about 1 year between selling a house and renovating our little farm house to move back into so we used most of our stores during that time figuring I’d restock when we got settled in, well we got settled in and Covid happened…it was not a good feeling not having our pantry full so we got to work slowly and got it back to where we are comfortable with it, thank the Lord. I’ve also dove into learning how to can and put up everything I grow in the garden ( I love it, it’s very relaxing to me) I’ve really been enjoying all your videos, just pulled some crusty bread out of the oven 😊 so thank you for sharing ❤️
you guys are smart for getting prepared my spouse & kids think im crazy but im looking out for us all & they will thank me later when we have food & thank you for your great info & videos 😊 thanks faith
Hi my husband thought I was crazy when I started 3 years ago 😅 now he loves it he calls it my shop and he's happy now when he runs out of something and can go into the shop 🤣 and get what he needs . They will eventually get you . Hahahaa 😘💐
Growing up in a family of 8 with both parents living through the Great Depression, we always had a pantry stocked with several months or more food and supplies. Daddy worked for GM and when a strike was expected, they would increase the supplies even more. Eventually daddy made an extra pantry in the garage (insulated and heated with a single lightbulb) for mom’s annual canning- peaches, pears, green beans, tomatoes, etc. I have tried to always keep a month or more worth of food, but lately have been working toward a year or more of food and supplies, including seeds that can help keep us eating even if the food in the stores gets sparse. I have canned and dehydrated more in the last 6 months than I have in the last twenty years.
