    I like the idea of dividing different types of food in one bucket because then you don't have to have several buckets open at once to prepare your meals. Having all of your flour/rice in one bucket makes that bucket more liable to spoil.

    Yesterday I was opening and checking the contents of my five-gallon buckets.

    We have four food grade buckets full of masa harina. Probably a four year supply, plus the active containers in the kitchen. I can make tacos, tortillas, tortilla chips, tamales, tostadas, dumplings, johnny cake, cornbread, and use it in salmon patties. I've seen my grandmother make it from field corn, so this is sustainable if we run out. 25 lbs was $15.96 at Walmart last week.
    I also stored dried chickpeas. These are incredibly versatile, nutritious, and easy to cook. I've made chickpea milk and sour cream, as well as hummus, burgers, soups, stews, and salads.
    And the rice, quinoa, beans, lentils, flour, sugar, salt, and spices I can't grow. And our pet rat, Diamond, got loose in the storeroom. She chewed her way into the plastic lid on a large metal container of toasted sesame oil. The contents are safely stored in glass jars in the fridge. She didn't actually get to the oil or anything else. We store large containers of oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauces, mirin, and rice vinegar. I make ACV from surplus apples sold for cheap at a local orchard. You need flavor for your food: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.

    Good suggestions JR. Like you, I divide my dry foods into gallon- (flour, rice, sugar, corn meal, wheat berries, etc) or quart- (beans, pastas, salt, etc) size mylar bags and then mix them up in the 5 gal buckets. One additional step I take is to list on the lid with a Sharpie all of the contents and the date I pack the bucket. That way if we are forced to bug out, I'll know exactly what's in each bucket and I can prioritize what I'm taking if time is short or space is limited.

    One thing I do is make small, one or two serving size bags of the item being stored using my Foodsaver, then I store all of those individual bags in a mylar bag with the O2 absorber. That way, when I open the mylar bag, I am not exposing ALL of my beans, rice, etc. to the elements. I am only going to expose the items I want to use, and the rest will remain sealed in the Foodsaver bags.
    Have a better day!

    Really great presentation. I have been buying one #10 can of freeze dried items like mountain house meals or flour, veggies, butter and shortening, milk powder and eggs (10year shelf life), pancake mix and corn, fruit etc, and canned foods and veggies and pasta sauce etc one item per month of each type I have gotten to a 6 month supply for 4 spending only 50 to 75 dollars per month. Took a few years but never really hurt us financially. Canned items and rice beans and flour get used up as they age. No waste.
    The freeze dried eggs and other freeze dried foods etc that went out of date I added to regular meals. Cost per serving for 4 is about 1 to 2.50 per person when purchased. But that was in dollars ten years ago so the cost per meal now is much cheaper.
    Using the freeze dried meals in #10 cans and the 2-2 and 1/2 serving sized freeze dried meals you add to dried items makes freeze dried cheaper and meals taste better. Make a soup base with freeze dried veggies, add rice beans from your buckets then add the mountain house beef stew right to the soup pot with your rice and beans. If you have bouillon and canned or freeze dried meat you can really extend that expensive FD meal. Also noodles like flat, elbows or spaghetti added to any pasta freeze dried meal like chili mac or beef stroganoff allows you to add tons of flavor to the cheapest storage foods.

The prices are very reasonable, between $5 to $10 per gallon size can. They sell basic items such as rice, several kinds of beans, sugar, flour, oats, dehydrated onions, dehydrated carrots, macaroni, potato flakes, also wheat berries, etc. All the items are sealed in metal #10 gallon size cans and are waterproof, bug-proof, rodent proof. This gives me an added feeling of security, without all the work and supplies needed to do all of it myself. Most are good for 20 to 30 years stored in a cool dry place. They ship mail order or see if they have a center in your Area. There are 100 of the centers in the United States, and I am lucky to live very near one. I understand the shipping rates are very reasonable. The Mormons are friendly and eager to help.

    Forgive me if you've already recommended this, but food-grade diatomaceous earth is beneficial for your stored foods before sealing in Mylar bags. About twice a month, I make up DIY MRE's. These are grab & go Mylar bags that only require water to be added. I have a 14-day rotation that differs for each and every day, so no food fatigue.

I don't know what the specific mechanism is that makes the difference but they're definitely is a difference. She can eat the eggs our hands late just fine, but cat but she gets sick when she eats the ones we buy from the store. Just a thought in case you haven't tried it

    One thing I'm doing is getting bags of water softener salt that contains no added chemicals. Morton sells large bags of sea salt (40 or 45 lbs, I don't have one handy right now to tell for certain) for only $8.
    It is in crystal (rock) form, and should work just fine in a salt grinder, or if you don't have one, a mortar and pestle should work perfectly to make it usable.
    Sea salt is far superior to table salt because it contains trace minerals that are very beneficial, is lower in sodium, and on top of that, it works well for curing meat.
    And at the price of $8 a bag at Ace Hardware, you can get a very long lasting supply for the price of only a few individual containers you will find at any grocery store.
    Lastly, sea salt naturally contains iodine, which should at the very least reduce your need to supplement it with iodized salt. Just make sure that you are checking for the correct bags of salt, as many bags sold for water softeners contains additives designed for the system, and may not be good for you.

    Great information as always. I think using the smaller Mylar bags is best. You are not going to want to open 5 gallons of beans at time unless you are feeding a very large army lol. Plus the small bags would be better for bartering.
    I would also recommend at least putting salt and whatever kind of seasoning you like in each bucket. In the event that there’s no time to pack up and you just grab and go it will be easier. Maybe put some cast iron skittles in there as well lol
