A critical part of any food storage system is to eat what you store. If you do that, your supplies will rotate and you'll be fine. Plus if you suddenly start eating beans and rice and other food storage goods, it can have uncomfortable effects like gas. Then you have indigestion along with the problems you're dealing with due to the disaster or economic collapse. If you get used to eating your survival supplies however, you'll be fine when everyone else is having trouble adapting. On top of that, eating a more simple diet with less overly processed garbage and more whole grains and beans, you'll be healthier and you'll save a lot of money. I'm lucky enough to have a job that pays well that I also enjoy. I have massive extra cash each month but I eat beans and rice, and whole wheat bread nearly every day. Don't wait to adapt is my motto!

Dec 1, 2008 - Most of my beans and rice are stored in air tight 6 gallon buckets that actually hiss when you break the seal. They each have about 5 oxygen absorbers and supposedly they're able to be stored for 30 years. It's one way to save for your retirement I guess. Have your home paid for and enough food to last you the rest of your life. I have rice in food saver bags that are also air tight and I throw an oxygen absorber in those too. As I rotate the supply I'll extend the storage time and experiment.

Dec 1, 2008 - Cool! Where can I get oxygen absorbers?
vention4wh Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - Go to google and type in oxygen absorbers. There are tons of web sites that would love to have a chance to sell you some. They aren't any good though unless you have a good saver or some big buckets that seal air tight (or both). An oxygen absorber in a ziplock bag won't do you any good. It doesn't seal tight enough.

Dec 1, 2008 - I'd be happy with just helping people make their lives more comfortable during this mess. The more comfortable you are, the more energy you have to deal with the depression. Thanks though, that's a great compliment : )

Dec 16, 2008 - Chicken Boulion has MSG,at least all that i have found does.Where do you buy w/o?
vention4wh Says:
Dec 16, 2008 - This brand doesn't. Just google "rainy day foods" and you'll find a lot of places that just can't wait to sell it to you. You're right though, it generally has it. I checked winco and yes it's there too. I've been using that can of chicken bullion since January and It's only 1/3rd gone. Don't forget the onion soup mix and dried onions, they add a lot of flavor.

Dec 1, 2008 - I love beans and rice! I have learned that if you have to conserve fuel, soak the beans in water overnight, and don't re-use the water. The beans store for about 2 years, and the rice about 1.5 if stored properly. I use rubbermaid clear-plastic gallon jugs, and keep them out of the light.
