18:03:42 From Ronald Levine :) : Ronald H Levine in Sandy 801 634-7249 RonaldHLevine4548@yahoo.com 18:03:42 From Mary Ellen Campbell : I Found the audio so disregard my prior question. 18:08:42 From Ronald Levine :) : Health - Your good health is one of your most important preparedness assets both now and particularly in the harsh times to come, so eat healthy choices. 18:09:18 From Grammyprepper : Ppl underestimate the importance of protein 18:17:56 From Ronald Levine :) : Big difference between technically surviving on an insufficient diet and proper nutrition. Technically surviving might be that you can be restored to health if rescued and brought to a hospital, but actually serving requires high levels of mental and physical proficientcies for all the other survival threats and challenges. 18:19:03 From zachary Lewis : Sprouting would be good for vitamin would it not? 18:21:29 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Sprouting would be..." with πŸ‘ 18:25:35 From Grammyprepper : That is why I tend to buy ingredients vs 'meals; 18:26:18 From Nick - Ohio : Reacted to "Sprouting would be g…" with πŸ‘ 18:26:25 From Nick - Ohio : Reacted to "That is why I tend t…" with πŸ‘ 18:26:45 From Mindy Mitchell : FYI-There are homeopathics that can heal gluten problems and other food sensitivies. A good part of preparedness is healing things like that. 18:27:05 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "FYI-There are home..." with πŸ‘ 18:29:07 From Ronald Levine :) : Sprouting is excellent nutrition and quick. 18:29:37 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Sprouting is excel..." with πŸ‘ 18:30:29 From Ronald Levine :) : Oils - I store coconut oil which has long and stable storage life. It's also a healthy oil. 18:30:55 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Oils - I store coc..." with πŸ‘ 18:32:04 From Grammyprepper : I use coconut oil for skin care as well as cooking so it is a staple here 18:34:11 From Grammyprepper : Bay leaves discourage insects 18:39:22 From Ronald Levine :) : Canning jars will be needed in the harsh times to come because food comes all at once like a fruit tree full of ripe fruit or an elk which needs pressure canning. I store my dry foods in my mountain of cases of canning jars. I use an industrial high-vacuum pump to remove all air AND reduce the moisture content from typically 10% to zero. That greatly extends the storage life. 18:41:02 From Grammyprepper : So you don't use dessicants or O2 absorbers @Ronald Levine :) ? 18:41:02 From Grammyprepper : [This is an encrypted message] 18:42:01 From Grammyprepper : I have issues with knowing which to use when 18:42:17 From Jay Whimpey : Replying to "Sprouting would be g..." Yes, sprouting improves nutritional value. 18:45:06 From Mindy Mitchell : A couple of tips about jars. Cover each one with old socks to keep them from breaking during an earthquake or from being dropped. A great storage box for quart jars is the Avocado boxes at Costco. They fit 20 jars perfect and they stack well on top of each other because they have the little 'locks' on the sides. 18:45:38 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "A couple of tips a..." with πŸ‘ 18:46:18 From Nick - Ohio : Excellent presentation, thank you all so much for this and your YouTube channel! 18:46:22 From Grammyprepper : ??? When to use dessicant packs and O2 absorbers 18:46:43 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Excellent presenta..." with πŸ‘ 18:47:12 From Mary Gallagher : Great presentation Kylene and Jonathan, thanks! 18:49:28 From Ronald Levine :) : Correct. The science of determining if there is life on Mars is if there is water. No water means no life. Likewise, no air and zero moisture in my high-vacuum packed dry foods in canning jars means no life, meaning no bacteria, mold, insects AND the jar means rats can't chew through the container. 18:49:34 From James Turner : Nice presentation. 18:49:44 From Mary Ellen Campbell : Reacted to "Sprouting is excel..." with πŸ‘ 18:49:48 From Grammyprepper : Wow, cool for at least anectodal evidence for the bay leaves 18:50:09 From John Hoyle : Great presentations. Many thanks! 18:50:41 From James Collins : I've got food in mason jars on 5 level metal shelves, and I've got a shelf cover to cover the shelf and protect the jars from light. 18:50:43 From Grammyprepper : B vitamins are protein based mostly 18:50:52 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Correct. The scie..." with πŸ‘ 18:50:54 From James Turner : Freeze Drying appears to be an important component to the plan. Equipment is very expensive, $3K, is there a better alternate? 18:52:00 From Mary Ellen Campbell : How healthy are the new bio-engineered meats? Scarey! 18:52:02 From Bruce Curley : Great presentation 18:52:17 From Nick - Ohio : Reacted to "How healthy are the …" with πŸ‘ 18:52:47 From Nick - Ohio : The β€œiron fish” is popular in Asia as well, often as an β€œiron Buddha”, especially for those who have a mostly rice diet. 18:52:58 From Grammyprepper : Many nutrients need other nutrients for best absorption 18:53:45 From Nick - Ohio : Reacted to "Many nutrients need …" with πŸ‘ 18:54:10 From Ronald Levine :) : Further, almost all processes of storage food degradation and loss of nutrition are chemical reactions that can only take place with moisture. Reducing water content from 10% to zero means virtually all processes of food degradation over time have been haulted. 18:54:28 From Mindy Mitchell : It's also sock storage if you need them later! 18:54:42 From Frank Gordon : Reacted to "It's also sock stora..." with πŸ‘ 18:54:46 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Further, almost al..." with πŸ‘ 18:55:42 From Bruce Curley : https://www.repurposedmaterialsinc.com/ 18:56:13 From Ronald Levine :) : I pack canning jars into wooden crates with socks between (not on) the jars. 18:56:14 From Lightraider SC : Split the cost of a fd with my daughter and son in law 18:56:21 From Nick - Ohio : Reacted to "I pack canning jars …" with πŸ‘ 18:57:18 From Mindy Mitchell : Anyone ever made ghee? 18:57:22 From Ronald Levine :) : Coconut oil. 18:57:35 From Grammyprepper : ???when to use dessicant packs and O2 packs? 18:58:08 From Mary Ellen Campbell : Reacted to "Anyone ever made g..." with πŸ‘ 18:58:13 From Nick - Ohio : Side benefit to shortening storage - shortening candles / small space heating. 18:58:29 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Side benefit to sh..." with πŸ‘ 18:58:30 From Mindy Mitchell : My friend has made ghee from her cow's milk and it lasts many years to use for oil/butter 18:58:36 From Nick - Ohio : Reacted to "Side benefit to shor…" with πŸ‘ 18:58:38 From Nick - Ohio : Removed a πŸ‘ reaction from "Side benefit to shor…" 18:59:51 From Patrick Bowman : Really grate meeting it really made my day thanks very informative 19:00:11 From Ronald Levine :) : I'm scared of olive oil. World sales of "olive oil" is substantially MORE than world production of olive oil, so what does that tell you? 19:00:35 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "I'm scared of oliv..." with πŸ‘ 19:01:28 From Brent : We’re in Hawaii - and our coconut oil goes rancid quite quickly. We have to buy small bottles as it goes bad quite quickly 19:01:58 From Ronald Levine :) : Still, I know REAL olive oil is healthful, so to be sure it is real, I eat olives and store a mountain of cases of olives on jars. 19:02:00 From Nick - Ohio : I usually put both a desiccant pack and an oxygen absorber in quart jars. Just makes me feel better than I’m keeping the moisture content in a safe zone. 19:02:49 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "I usually put both..." with πŸ‘ 19:02:55 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "Still, I know REAL..." with πŸ‘ 19:05:25 From Grammyprepper : Thank you, that is what I wanted to know! 19:05:44 From Mindy Mitchell : The shelf life of pure ghee is indefinite if stored correctly. For best results put it well-sealed, in a cool dark spot. 19:06:15 From Brent : Thank you - even kept 19:06:18 From Frank Gordon : How long would lard store? 19:06:22 From Brent : Sorry trying to cht 19:06:34 From Ronald Levine :) : My high-vacuum pump removes all air and all moisture. It is MUCH more effective than absorber and desiccant packets. 19:06:38 From Nick - Ohio : I dunno, so far no issues. But thanks for the advice I’ll take that into consideration. 19:06:42 From Nick - Ohio : Thanks! 19:06:56 From Grammyprepper : Reacted to "My high-vacuum pum..." with πŸ‘ 19:06:58 From Nick - Ohio : Oh this isn’t wheat. I’m talking about like dehydrated peppers and such. 19:07:22 From Grammyprepper : Ghee is clarified butter 19:07:27 From 30 caliber clip : Learn to render fat and make tallow. It’s great cooking oil. 19:07:34 From Brent : Yes, the coconut bottles have been opened when we’re using them - so guessing that may be why! 19:07:42 From James Collins : You cook out all the milk solids from butter. It's used a lot in Indian cuisine. 19:07:46 From Brent : Sorry, tried to reply but volume not working 19:08:41 From Brent : Thank you! w 19:08:46 From Ronald Levine :) : Correct, application of my high-vacuum pump immediately produces a cloud of fog at its exhaust for three seconds. After that, the 10% moisture is gone. 19:08:54 From James Collins : Thanks for doing the presentation. 19:08:55 From Brent : We watch all your YouTube videos too! Thank you! 19:09:07 From Mary Gallagher : Love your YouTube videos! 19:09:13 From Mark.Leeper : πŸ‘ Great Presentation - Thx 19:09:16 From Jeff Rodgers : Thanks for another great presentation. Provident Prepper and TACDA are both great! 19:09:40 From James Turner : In Italy years ago I noticed wine stored in 10 liter bottles, when opened immediately poured into two 5 liter bottles and the smaller later. Keeping head space small and limiting oxygen exposure. Perhaps, similar technique would work with oil. 19:10:00 From Ronald Levine :) : ... and it weighs less and the jar becomes cold due to the latent heat of vaporization. 19:10:11 From Ronald Levine :) : Ronald H Levine in Sandy 801 634-7249 RonaldHLevine4548@yahoo.com 19:10:14 From Brent : We learned to use mylar watching your videos - now have 500+lbs of rice under the house! Thank you! 19:10:46 From H : Thank you. 19:11:12 From Mary Gallagher : Thanks!
