Mods, I believe this is the correct place for this thread if not please feel free to move it, and accept my apologies!
How many people here have put up food? Now when I say put up food Im talking about food storage. It could be long term longer than 6 months, intermediate 1-6 months, and short term about a month. Now before you all go saying that im crazy im not doing this for any other reason than im cheap and buying in bulk now when the prices are lower is a sound investment!
I right now have approx 3 months of food stored up. I would like to stretch that to 6 months, and eventually to a year.
Right now my main problem is finding the 5 gallon buckets that are food grade.
I have tried burger king, the bakery at Wal-Mart, and I really dont want to have to buy them, when places are just throwing them away. What do yall suggest?
I have given thought to storing cornmeal, red wheat, and rice. My wife isnt a big fan of beans, but it may not be a bad idea to have some of those as well.
Also anyone got any tips to storing water? I know that is the main thing to surviving, especially if there is a natural disaster, I just dont want to be caught flat footed, and have to rely on the red cross or FEMA to take care of me, when I can be in relative comfort myself.
Anyway I may seem crazy but its just a thought, what do yall think?
