Most people don’t fail at food storage because they don’t care. They fail because no one ever explained the basics. In this video, I walk through 5 of the most common food storage mistakes I see people make all the time — mistakes that quietly waste food, money, and effort. These aren’t extreme mistakes. They’re everyday mistakes that almost everyone makes at some point… including me. We’ll cover mistakes like: • Buying food you don’t actually eat • Storing foods that don’t last as long as you think • Thinking you need a full year supply all at once • Buying food but not storing it properly • Using the wrong storage methods And an additional mistake that many people overlook — storing foods without a practical way to cook or use them in a grid-down situation. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is steady, practical preparedness — one layer at a time.
