Description
My books are on sale now 📖 The Prepper's Field Manual, and all three as the collection.
Grab them here: https://dalebrooks.com
The USDA's own shelf guidance warns that cans left in a car or a basement in sub-zero temperatures can freeze and swell, and a swollen can goes in the trash. In late January 2019 the National Weather Service recorded 56 below in northern Minnesota. A full freezer holds about 48 hours with no power, a fridge about 4, and a case of condensed soup spends a gallon of the water you stored. In the spring of 2020, one big soup maker's U.S. soup sales jumped 35% in three months. The can you're counting on is only as good as the shelf it sits on.

In this video, we talk about 7 canned foods Dale keeps on the pantry shelf at his place up north, how many of each he keeps, and where they never go, including pinto and black beans, chunk light tuna and canned chicken, ready-to-eat soup against condensed, chili with beans, evaporated milk, canned potatoes for when the root cellar runs low, and tomatoes, the store can and his own jars put up by the tested method, and what all seven add up to: about ten days of the ninety for two people.
🔔 Subscribe so the next count reaches you before the first hard freeze.
