Wendy DeWitt is known all over for her Food Storage Seminar – and it’s definitely worth a watch if you’re just beginning to get interested in long-term food storage.
This is the updated version filmed last year.
Sensible Food Storage with Wendy DeWitt
In this system you’ll cover
- 10 Reasons I Don’t Want to have Food Storage
- Creating the Recipe Card System
- Rotation of pantry products
- Intro to dry packing
- Canning
- Solar Cooking
- Dry Packed Foods
- and more!
xt-align: center;”>She has a wonderful printable available on her website called Everything Under the Sun. She has the Everything Under the Sun Plan on a .pdf for you to download or print, as well as a 10 year plan called Everything Made Simple.
Wendy DeWitt really inspired me to make my own version of a family inspired food storage pantry system. There’s no point in following lists from preparedness sites that suggest you store food that you’ll never eat – you want to learn how to create a list based off foods your family eats. It also allows you to be completely familiar with the foods in your pantry and what can be made from them, instead of trying to figure out how to integrate a food you’ve never heard of. You’re likely never to eat it and it will go to waste.

I love your videos
I,m in Australia, canning is not big here , mainly only fruit in water bath. I got my self a presto canner, & a blue ball book. it says to heat the bottled food for 10min before eating, ok for meat in , stew recipe or with a gravy.
but what about chicken, for a sandwich , or for a salad?
do I empty in sauce pan, then when cool put in fridge till cold enough to have as a sandwich or salad? seems confusing, as id like to use these bottles of meat, if there,s no power. no power to keep thing cold
would appreciate your advice
regards

I can’t thank you enough for the information you provide. It would have taken me years of researching with lots of trial and error to gather all the info that you have in your booklet. I also watched one of your video seminars from 2005 and agreed with everything you said, with only one exception regarding propane. Camp Chef makes a 2 burner propane stove with oven that offers 8 hours of cooking time per 1 lb of propane. So a 20 lb “BBQ grill” size tank easily lasts a month, The largest size tank that you can transport and fill yourself is a 100 lb tank. Another option is a propane cook stove pulled from an old RV. They are very efficient with propane consumption. Ours is 3 burner with oven and even allows us to do all of our canning + cooking meals, all on about 400 lbs propane per year. Using a solar oven would allow us to cut the propane bill in half, but not eliminate it as we get about 60 days a year of cloudy skies. Still, considering the area where you live, you were spot on with your suggestions. However you may want to try a Camp Chef stove so that you could fry & even can meat, without electricity. Keep up the good work, you are doing a great job!!!
James, I’ll pass along these comments to Wendy. I only shared her videos, I am not her.
beverly, if your talking about opening a jar of canned chicken for sandwiches??? then no, you do not have to reheat and cool before eating it on a sandwich. simply drain very well and mix up for chicken salad.
This series is not just for beginners. I have kept a 1yr+ supply for 26 yrs & still picked up some ideas. Thank you for putting all segments of this together in one place for us.You Rock!
They are great reminders for us all!
Thanks for sharing this! I loved these videos!
You’re welcome!
I’m not very computer literate, am I missing where you have posted the information to print out your booklet. Can you direct me, or is there a book you sell with your recipes and such? Thanks for your help.
Charlene, it’s actually information available from Wendy – here’s a link that I tracked down from her website: http://everythingunderthesunblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/book-2.html
Here is a link to a PDF of the handout 🙂

I have been Following this system for awhile now and am thrilled with it! so simple and so helpful. Who knew that such a common sense strategy could work so well? Of course Wendy did and put it together so well.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
