    Long Term Food Storage

    After a few years of giving canned goods to the food banks, I made the move to LTS foods.
    Here are some online sources that I have ordered from and can vouch for their customer service and/or product quality.

    LDS home storage

    Walton Feed is very good as well, especially for bulk food. If you live near Idaho you can pick it up to avoid shipping costs.

    I have not purchased from them online but have read good reviews about them. We have a local outlet store and their prices are reasonable.

    Walton Feed also has food storage buckets that have a gasket in the lid that most other sources don't have.
    I plan to order some this spring to store some jasmine rice.
    I'll order my mylar bags, O2 absobers & desiccants from Sorbent Systems.

    Awesome, I've been looking for an affordable source of mylar bags.

    Also consider local container and packaging stores as you can avoid the shipping fee.

    In the Boise area you can order from http://www.containerandpackaging.com/ and do will call, of course you can also have them ship to you if you are out of state.

    Right now they have some overstock gasket lids and 5 gallon buckets at good prices, I just purchased 16 for about $95.

    The overstock lids say W/O gasket?

    These lids have a gasket but also have a retractable pour spout which may or may not be a good thing depending on your application.

    I bought a bunch of wheat, barley, oat groats, etc from them at their outlet store in SLC. Well recommended.

    Now I just need to repack it all in my foil bags with O2 reducers.

    I will start a topic on what I am trying to do for long term storage of food that makes it easy to use

    www.readydepot.com seems to have a good selection... including some pre-packaged kits, like the 72 hour Food Kit -- and of course you can get Yoder's canned bacon there
