With all the talk of supply chain issues and possible food shortages over the next couple of years, food storage is becoming a very hot topic. Inflation continues to erode our buying power and inconsistent product selection at the market is ever-present. Stockpiling those frequently used items not only helps through “bumps in the road” but provides food security should true food shortages actually arrive. Peanut butter is hugely popular and a common item most families have on a regular basis.
I’ve mentioned over the years many times that peanut butter can be frozen to extend shelflife. In this video, I reiterate the practice with some commentary.
Take care all –

I hope I don’t experience a “foot” shortage! lol
LOL…thanks.
Typos are always amusing! I agree that peanut butter is a very important staple to keep stocked up on. High caloric and nutrition content and keeps well.
I like that it doesn’t need refrigeration after opening. I miss the peanut butter and jelly in the old C-Rations!
JR I learned from you years ago that peanut butter can be frozen.
Tried it and it tasted great a few years later.So we store in on the shelf and in the freezer.
The peanut butter that comes from Mt .House is also exc. (freeze dried or dehydrated)
Just curious has anyone been ordering from Emergency essentials and if so what kind of wait time is there now? Thanks.
Getting ready for this next big storm. I hope everyone out there will be safe. Arlene
How do you think Rourke that the giant ammo supply sent to Ukraine will affect ammo prices here ? Will it help the ammo factories or hurt us individuals ?
We have commercial jars of peanut butter that are over 10 years old, and still good. Depends on how they are stored (humidity and temperature).
We’ve stocked up on some PB2, powdered peanut butter. Found larger canisters at Sam’s. Smaller containers can be found sometimes at regular grocery chains. Somewhat decent shelf life and very versatile for cooking recipes.
Years ago I read an article by an Alaskan bush pilot. His survival gear in the event of going down in the wilderness was a lever action .45-70 rifle and a 5 lb. jar of peanut butter. And he was an old, experienced flyer there, so I hazard to say he was speaking the gospel on the subject.
Thanks for the tip!
I think someone is craving peanut butter 🙂 I love the stuff! Great video brother
