Does that kitty litter box have an o ring rubber seal? That maybe a good idea as well.
Snowy,
I know I need to keep canning, but I can get more stuff in bulk, and it would make it easier to store. For instance I can get 5 5 gallon buckets stacked in my storage closet. It is harder to get that many cans, in bulk, stored in the same location.
I also plan on burying some of them.... dont judge me, just realize this works for me. Having the food in Mylar bags, inside the 3 or 5 gallon buckets would need to be something that would help keep rodents from actually getting inside.
I would also like to know what you guys do to help convince your significant other about storing food? My wife kinda understands the idea of being able to have some food put aside. But how do I help convince her that we may need a longer storage idea?
Thanks guys, the info has been really helpful!
