October 18th, 2012 at 9:27 pm

if u buy your own mylar bags can you make homemade MRE’s that will last 15 years, like a regular MRE?

theres a difference between “use before” and “best by” dates on canned foods. “best by” you usually see on “shelf stable” canned goods.

I Like you videos
Awesome. Good Info.. PLEASE PLEASE do a video or include a part on Getting NON GMO seeds too. This is a good idea of course.
Great Vids and F Monsanto

Same here. Everything points to canned goods being safe to eat for many many years as long as the can isn’t dented, swollen, or have a breached seal.
October 19th, 2012 at 12:04 am
I have eaten canned foods 3+ years past the expiration date with no ill effects.. Just watch for dented cans!

If you are looking for really long term food storage. You can get dehydrated complete meals that really taste good and can sit on your shelf for 15 years before losing any of their nutritional value. There are no chemicals or msg in these foods and the best part is if you haven’t been hit too hard by the economic crunch yet, and you can afford the largest package, you will pay only $.91 per serving. You can get smaller pkgs, but you will pay a little more. go to 4longevity.myefoods.com

yes Water is important. I will most likely do another video just on water. It is important to store water AND have a way to purify additional water.
October 19th, 2012 at 1:32 am
this way you can hold onto the canned goods longer before having to use them. Always KEEp in mind, WATER! Water!. Your going to need water to cook some of your foods, BUT if there should come a time where there’s no water? A friend told me during the war, her parents planted potatoes inside the house with dirt/sand. Canned SOUPS for WATER content. Again, vacuum pack dried fruits and nuts.

Canned goods are great. Be attentive to the possibility of Water “shortage” . Canned soups are good for the water content. Peanut butter, tuna fish have a long shelf life. may want to dehydrate fruits, like apples and pineapple, which don’t need water to rehydrate. Also dried fruits of all kinds, vacuum pack them. Keep rotating the food and if there’s a food shortage, this is where dehydrated foods come in handy, as long as you have water to cook them, this way you can hold onto the canned .

It will be LESS bulky, but still much bulkier per meal than raw goods like rice, oats, etc.
Also, if you break open the MREs you gain a little more space, but then they are not as portable, which is one of their biggest advantages. You have to grab a bunch of loose items instead of one pouch.

You should store enough food that you don’t have to ‘ration’. You want to moderate how much you use to make sure it lasts as long as its supposed to, but food is still cheap enough that anyone can by enough to have their normal 2500 to 3500 calories a day for up to a year.
A 50lb bag of rice currently costs $20, and contains 80,000 calories. That’s 27 days worth of 3000 calories a day. Almost a months worth of calories for 20 bucks. There is no excuse to not have food stored!
October 19th, 2012 at 3:34 am
Yeah strange, but totally accidental.
October 19th, 2012 at 3:43 am
take mre and break it up. then it wont be bulky
October 19th, 2012 at 4:19 am
Feed yourself good meals for 2 weeks ago the collapse. There will be people willing to kill you and you want to stay strong. From there you can rasion.
October 19th, 2012 at 4:26 am
I just wanted to point out the weird freaky thing
Your video is 9,1,1 Thats pretty freaky dude…
October 19th, 2012 at 4:33 am
Sort of. It is supposed to be enough sustenance to SURVIVE for one day, but it is not enough for long-term living, especially with any type of activity. They recently starting giving Ranger School students 2 MREs a day because they were suffering health problems only having one. Don’t plan on going more than a week or so with only one a day or you will be really suffering.
October 19th, 2012 at 5:22 am
Yeah canned food lasts years, but I don’t know if I would want to taste a 100yr old can!
Even though the food may still be safe, it won’t taste as good after a long time so it is still a good idea to rotate it out as often as possible.
October 19th, 2012 at 5:35 am
Good answer.
October 19th, 2012 at 6:12 am
canned food lasts longer than a recomended date there is evidnce of 100 year old canned food found and has still been edible as long as they are not dented and stored in a cool dry place dont underestimate canned foods as they are produced with high heat and preservatives oh yeah air sealed for freshness too — great vid !
October 19th, 2012 at 6:43 am
MRE is ment for 1 a day
October 19th, 2012 at 7:16 am
Hmmmm ya makes sense why it is so expensive as compared to coffeemate LOL!
October 19th, 2012 at 8:05 am
most people seem to store it in large fat deposits around the stomach, hips, and thighs.
October 19th, 2012 at 8:23 am
It’s good, but I think powdered milk is better. It has almost as much protein, is cheaper, and has more uses.
October 19th, 2012 at 9:07 am
I liked your video but don’t agree with your comment that self made cookers can do little more than warm hot dogs. I have cooked roasts, potatoes,carros, etc. In a funnel cooker designed by B.Y.U. Not as fancy as a sun oven but only a few dollars for aluminum foil and glue and it worked great. Search B.Y.U. Solar cooker for plans. I am told the B.Y.U. Funnel cooker production of 2000 units is under way with an estimated cost between $20-$30.
October 19th, 2012 at 10:02 am
thermal cooker expensive but they work.

Dear Mrs. Dewitt.
I just watched your 8 part series which was great. I am a poor organizer; can I purchase your written class materials?
Thank you,

That Sun Oven is like mine. Same resource? I’ve collected some cardboard boxes, insulation, and Mylar from recycled chip bags to make more ovens. Kept some tempered glass sheets from old bookshelves – use them for the top. I’ve been using my Sun Oven for boiling eggs lately since my chickens are laying like crazy.
I like the idea of using more than one oven even though it’s just me here at home. That way I can cook the main course in one oven and then dessert or bread in the other oven.
October 19th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Nice idea – if enough moisture gets out. The glass tends to keep moisture in.
October 19th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
we live in australia, just put it in a steel mixing bowl and she will be right !
October 19th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
my last name is dewitt… family????
October 19th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
With the solar oven, screens to dehydrate foods might be an option,too.
Very wonderful series! I thank you so much!
October 19th, 2012 at 12:44 pm
great except for rainy days. even cloudy days enough solar/uv radiation gets through to cook with, lower temps of course.
October 19th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Nice Nice Video. I really loved your video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed, check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 Channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i’m going to working on.
Your Video was compiled lovely!
October 19th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
How do you turn it on?
LOL
October 19th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
I live in the northwest, do we have enough sun to make the solar oven purchase worth it?
