That’s a good list, but what do we keep the boxed stuff in to avoid bugs and moisture? I’ve noticed lately that large plastic tubs develop a nasty odor so not sure they are good for the food.

Ammo boxes, until ammo is available again.

Five Gallon buckets line them with mylar bags and add oxygen absorbers. Method is in my preparedness manual.

For those who are just starting or are old hands at prepping you may find my Preparedness Manual helpfull. You can download it at:

NOTE! THIS IS A FREE DOWNLOAD. I DO NOT MAKE ONE CENT OFF MY PREPAREDNESS MANUAL!

For those of you who haven’t started already it’s time to prepare almost past time maybe. You needed to be stocking up on food guns, ammo, basic household supplies like soap, papergoods, cleaning supplies, good sturdy clothes including extra socks, underwear and extra shoes and boots, tools, camping gear, things you buy everyday start buying two and put one up.
As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Vacuum sealed aluminized Mylar bags with O2 absorber(s) inside. At the very least, empty contents into a 1/2 gallon mason jar and vac seal with O2 absorber and a bay leaf inside. Cut the cooking directions off of the box and seal with contents.
