A woman who calls herself the "queen of Doomsday" has a year's supply of food for her family of five in case of an emergency."

Krystal Frugal, 37, has been canning and preserving food since she was just four years old.

She grows 800lbs fresh fruit and vegetables every year - including potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, beans, peaches, apples, and pumpkins - in her garden for her husband, 41, and her three children - aged 13, 12, and eight.

Krystal rotates her pantry and has a supply of freeze-dried food such as rib-eye steaks, macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets and pumpkin pie - that can last up to 25 years old.

She said she is set up for any disaster, from wars to inflation - and is currently working on having a five-year food supply.

Krystal, a content creator, from Salt Lake City, Utah, said: "We don't prepare for politics, we prepare ourselves for uncertainty."

"Go back to four years ago when supply chains were hit and inflation was rising."

"We were prepared for the empty shelves and high costs because we had everything we needed here."

"Being a prepper isn't all about preparing for the end of the world, it is about preparing for life."

"We prepare for everything."

Krystal has been living this lifestyle since she was four years old.

Her late grandparents, Adelle, 76, and Clyde, 92, taught her how to grow fruit and vegetables in her garden.

Krystal said: "My family believed in emergency preparedness."

"I have been canning for over 30 years, and in those years, I think I have thrown away three jars of food."

Krystal grows most of the fruit and vegetables her family eat in her garden.

She gets her meat from a local farmer and harvests a cow and a pig which can last the year.

Krystal spends $600 a month on groceries on items she can't grow.

She said: "I grow everything from tomatoes, carrots, herbs and peas to artichokes, pumpkins and grapes."

"We also get a full cow and pig, which we use throughout the year."

"I save a lot of money; I will spend around $600 on groceries a month."

When it comes to prepping, Krystal will rotate her pantry, batch cook and even freeze-dry meals to give them a longer shelf life.

She said: "When I go to the store and I notice pasta on sale, instead of buying one box, I will buy one now and two for later."

"That way, you are preparing for the next meal and ones after that."

"If you continue, you realize you will have a six-month supply of pasta, so you don't have to buy it again."

"You are beating the inflationary costs and saving money."

Krystal insists having emergency preparedness will "never fail you" and she has seen an increase in people asking for her help when it comes to prepping."

She believes everyone should start with a two-week supply of food and build it up from there.

Currently, Krystal has a year supply of food and is hoping to build that up to five years.

She said: "First, people need to focus on foods you eat, like pasta and canned foods - buy one for now and two for later."

"Focus on making sure that you have a minimum of a two-week supply of water in case you get a boil notice - where you must boil your tap water before you drink it."

"Being home is one of your safest areas. Focus on a two-week supply and grow that over time."

"I have over a year's supply of food, a lot of it which is freeze-dried."

"My goal is to have a five-year food supply."

As well as preserving food Krystal prepares for any natural disaster.

The family also has first aid kits, warm clothes and equipment to start a fire.

Krystal said: "We have solar generators, survival kits and emergency food."

"Taking these small steps – it's insurance."

"A lot of people go straight to Doomsday. Let's hope it doesn't come to that - but if it does, I am ready."
