Hello folks,
I finally came into a bit of side-income, and wanted to devote a couple more bucks to long term food storage. A few years ago, I mylar/oxygen absorber preserved several 5-gallon buckets of assorted rice, pasta, beans, lentils.... I packed them all separately. But recently, I was wondering if it would be a better idea to pack mylar bags with a mix of foods. So that opening 1 bag would provide a nutritious mix of carbs, protein, some variety...
I'm curious how you folks go about storing food? Big bags with just one food in them (ie, big bags of white rice, another with big bags of beans...). Or do you prefer to mix it up a bit?
I was thinking it would be a good idea, should something happen and I'd need to grab a couple of buckets and run, or who knows what could potentially happen.
Thanks for any thoughts or ideas on the matter!
