Sounds interesting. I store rice, oatmeal and pasta in 1/2 gallon canning jars. But I buy desiccants and oxygen absorbers to put in when I seal them.

For those of you who would like some good beef for long term storage (instead of just canned tuna and chicken) I found this source:

I am impressed with the quality. Basically it’s like chunks of pot roast in a can, nothing else. Some Wal-Marts carry it in Kentucky and Ohio, don’t know about anywhere else. I ordered a couple of cases directly.

You might want to call them and see if they are in retailers in your area.

Looks interesting - thanks for posting the link. What’s the shelf life of the Keystone beef?

Thanks for the link, COT60s. I just ordered several cases directly from them for my storeroom/stockpile.
