If you own the land around the building, or landlord gives Ok, consider a small DIY mini root cellar for storage...Does anyone store outside the house? I’m at a serious premium for storage, 700sqft with 2 kids myself my wife, 2 dogs and a cat!
I am woefully behind on“prepping” of any kind, I have 2-3 weeks of pasta, rice etc but would like to start storing more dry goods long term, I have 2 sheds that I could put a rack of shelving in and store 5gallon buckets? Good plan? Bad plan?
I haven’t done much canning before and know I couldn’t store that outside but I’ve done plenty of jerky and dehydrated fruits and veggies which I’d imagine I could vac seal with o2 absorbers in buckets as well?
thanks!
I've always used a clothes iron and a board, but this "curling iron" you speak of intrigues me. What specific one are you using Jay? Are you happy with it?I have a frankensteined setup, where I have a mylar bag sealer that looks like a curling iron. I fill the bag, leaving an extra inch between the bag top and the sealing area, stick in one or 2 O2 absorbers, pull the vacuum on the bag with the foodsaver, then seal the bag with the curling iron thingy. I have some rice, etc that's 5+ years and they've held.
In a diversity attempt, some is in glass, some is in mylar, some is in 5 gallon buckets and some is Bishop's storehouse canned
Mmmmmmm, botulism, my favorite! Serve it with an appropriate vintage giardia, and you got yourself a meal!Visited the northern pantry this weekend to inventory. Tuturosso tomatoes blew out and leached acidic tomatoes down through 4 other layers. Lost about 80 cans.
EDIT: I am done with Tutorosso. THis is the third time they've had a seal break. Not sure if it's the acidity of the tomatoes or the cans, but the ones I have left have all been moved to bottom shelves and I am done putting them ahead. Pastene and Market basket tomatoes from literally the same shopping trip were on the same shelf, and they're fine. Made chili with them and I'm still standing today. Just keep your distance
WOW! You sure love to live dangerously with those old foods!Update: Yesterday was a bottle of ice tea (2018), Kraft Mac & Cheese ( 2018) and Cliff Bar ( 2017)
Opened and cooked a box of Hamburger Helper with a best by date of 2004 ! The beef of course was fresh. The packaged cheese sauce had turned brown. Once assembled, it was ok....not great just ok. I am cleaning out the back of every cabinet due to Covid.

Any time I go shopping for canned items my brain shuts off and I forget what to buy. I just end up with beans

I opened a can of Bush's Baked Beans and it had gone bad well before the expiration date. First time I'd seen that.Any time I go shopping for canned items my brain shuts off and I forget what to buy. I just end up with beans
And has anyone tried the B&M Brown Bread?
Opened up a 2009 can of "Future Essentials" green coffee beans today. Picked a really dented-up one. These are just packed with an O2 absorber and silica packet.
Smelled like any batch of green coffee.
Roasted up OK (I am a rank amateur, but they cracked twice, which is nice ;-) ) and we'll see how the coffee tastes in a day or two.
Way beyond its expected shelf life (they said 5 years).
they'd also make good renewable trade goodsA New England climate-capable, coffee bean would be a Godsend if things ever got so bad we could no longer get coffee.
I have tobacco seeds in storage for this reason, even though I only smoke a cigar on occasion.
Yes, viable cooler weather coffee beans as seed stock is in my future...
@weekendracer @Uzi2 and @Radtekk might have an easier time though with their climates...

I keep it simple and I store stuff that I already eat
Albacore Tuna
Kippered Herring
Peanut Butter
Pork-n-Beans
Dehydrated eggs
nuts and dried frut
Steel cut oats
WATER WATER WATER
I am no prepper or anything but I do keep 3month worth of food on hand. My "emergency" water comes from 8 rain barrels and a fresh water spring that runs through the property.
What are people doing in regards to my favorite beverage, coffee? Not the longest shelf life unless I'm missing some kind of long term coffee storage.

I just posted a week or so ago in the confirmed life thread I'm drinking ground coffee (metal can) bought in May 2012. Its fine.What are people doing in regards to my favorite beverage, coffee? Not the longest shelf life unless I'm missing some kind of long term coffee storage.
