Food storage doesn’t always come from buckets and shelves. Sometimes it starts in your yard. What if your “landscape plants” were actually part of your long-term food storage plan?

In our newest release, we’re heading over to The Provident Gardener to uncover surprising edible and medicinal plants hiding in plain sight. This is the kind of knowledge that turns a yard into resilience.

Well. That was humbling. Jonathan and I went downstairs to pull out our calcium hypochlorite for a video shoot this week — and what we found was not what we planned to show you. Four years of storage and a bulging Mylar bag later, we had ourselves a real-life preparedness lesson on our hands.

So we did what we always do. We showed you anyway.

New video is live — 10 inexpensive household items that are prepper gold, plus an honest look at water disinfection that we think you'll find really valuable. https://youtu.be/EXrRKgPaGAs

Have you ever watched something burn and felt completely helpless? It is a sobering reminder that wildfires do not give warnings. They do not wait for you to find your keys, grab your documents, or round up your pets. When the evacuation order comes, you go.

We put together this video to help make sure your family is ready when that moment comes. 11 steps. Practical. Doable. And potentially life-saving.

Our prayers are with every family affected by these fires — and especially with the families of our fallen firefighters. Let's honor their sacrifice by doing our part and getting prepared.

Check out the video https://youtu.be/siJUVLRqVnQ and share — have you lived through a wildfire? What would you add? Your story could help someone in our community be better prepared.

Real food security is not just about what you have stored on your shelves. It is about your ability to keep producing food no matter what comes. Our IPEG greenhouse runs entirely on passive energy — no fuel, no electricity, no utility bill — and is a tropical paradise (great for my mental health). Video 2 of our IPEG greenhouse series is live now on The Provident Gardener.

Jonathan, James Spencer of Mighty Metal, and I break down the design decisions that make this greenhouse produce food year-round with zero electricity and zero fuel. This is long-term resilience you can build in your own backyard.

You can purchase the Greenhouse Plans for our Integrated Passive Energy Greenhouse (IPEG) at payhip.com/TheProvidentPrepper. We spent years designing these plans, and I wish that something like this had been available to us. You are welcome!

Prepper Alert: Time to Stock Up on Canning Lids! amzn.to/4oHm6qU. If canning is part of your food storage plan, now is a great time to replenish your supply of lids. The popular ForJars Prime Day deal on Amazon ends June 26, so don't wait if you've been meaning to stock up.

Canning lids are one of those preparedness items that tend to disappear quickly when demand spikes. Whether you're preserving garden produce, canning meats, making jams, or putting away emergency food, having extra lids on hand can save you a lot of frustration later.

Do you have enough canning lids to last through an extended crisis? COVID taught us that canning lids can disappear fast. ForJars are my FAVORITE canning lids.

The ForJars stainless steel funnel set is a MUST for every prepper's kitchen! amzn.to/4oHm6qU I'm actually using mine right now to strain concoctions for my plants. Watch for an upcoming video on The Provident Gardener to see what this liquid gold is and what it does for my garden.

This greenhouse has been a dream for a long time. It took an incredible team, a major financial commitment, and more than a little faith to make it happen. And now it grows fresh food for our family every single season without a single watt of electricity.

Today we're launching a 13-part series walking you through every step of how we built it — because we want YOU to be able to do this too, or at least take the principles and apply them wherever you are. The ability to sustainably grow your own food is more important now than ever.

Check out the design and inspiration behind our IPEG (Integrated Passive Energy Greenhouse) https://youtu.be/9HiiiEahf6U. What would you grow in a year-round off-grid greenhouse?

In this episode, we explain why preparing for everyday emergencies is smarter (and far less overwhelming) than obsessing over end-of-the-world scenarios. Learn practical, budget-friendly steps that reduce fear, save money, and build real family resilience.

Watch now https://youtu.be/anYe1-4VdiI and tell us: What Tuesday emergency taught YOU the value of being prepared?
