My flour and all grains are the long term 20-25 yr. cans from Walton. Years ago, I tried storing flour and oatmeal and you don’t want to know what that looked like after a period of time. Right then, I went with Walton to be damn sure my grains would be good. Dehydrated veggies and other foods are also the 20-25 yr. sealed ones.

That long term list was really long and I don’t think about it any more as it’s stored and I have a paper copy of what is there.

You will survive no matter what because of what you know but I knew my limitations and did what I had to do to know I’d be okay. There is more than one way to skin a cat and apologies to your catz for using that phrase.

We've got those blasted little moths all over around here. I use DE a lot because they get into any kind of carbohydrate like beans, rice, corn &ct... I generally store whole grains and grind as required. Oils in the grains tend to make flours rancid pretty quickly.

I do buy some wheat flour now, but that's just for day-to-day use and I rarely have more than 20-40 lbs on hand. Sounds like a lot, but I bake all of my own bread and go through it quickly. I don't buy store bread unless I've been sick for a week. Blech. Store bread.

Don't. That's been a discussion item this week, given their behavior. I made a list of useful items that can be derived from a cat.

Remember... I do have a banjo. It will need replacement strings. ;)
