We did the whole enchilada back in 2012 or so. 500 lbs of hard red winter wheat which we put in Mylar bags with oxygenizers and then sealed in 5 gallon buckets. We had flour, corn meal, rice sugar and 250 lbs of beans in buckets also. Mice and rats got into most of it. New Years Eve we sat in our RV on our rural property and watched our little herd of deer finish off the last of the wheat. 😆

Now all we keep are the #10 cans of freeze dried stuff. Do yourself a favor and just stock up on some freeze dried stuff in #10 cans.

Buy some old fashion, rat-proof, galvanized garbage containers to store food products like bulk wheat and rice as well as other foods that you have sealed in mylar bags.

At least the mice, rats, and deer were fed. Do you wonder if their form of prepping is to wait for the humans to amass a quantity of food?

Canned food is an excellent start. You can always put rice into LARGE lock lid jars. That works for me.

We all learn as we go...I’ve decided to not go too crazy about prepping...I do short term...
