Lasted for a year in a hot steamy Florida shed.

Got a 5 Gal Food Grade Bucket (~$12), ordered a food grade twist lid (~$5), dumped a 20lb bag of Long Grain Rice from El Presidente supermarkets ($8 in Spring 2022) put newsprint over it for a tight seal. Call the total $25, at least in early-mid 2022 prices.

Opened it up, and I'm now 6 cups of uncooked rice in this month. Just made the next 2 cups Thursday, made great Nasi Goreng (Indo/Malay Fried Rice). Used a year old can of tomatoes that was also stored in hot, humid conditions, including a few months under the seat of my car, and they were fine.

If you're worried about storing rice in food grade buckets, don't be.

And it was almost $100 cheaper than the DISASTERMAX(tm) 30-day Emergency Survival Rice Bucket that sells for $129.95 promoted by your favorite Blackpill youtuber, Including bucket and seal.

For about $100, including costs of the bucket and lid, you'd have 80lb of UNCOOKED rice, or 160lb of cooked rice if you get 4 of these buckets with rice (2022 prices at least)

We buy 3 Ladies Jasmine rice by the 20 lb bag. It's $35 in Biden's inflated economy. I was paying around $20 when Trump left office.

It's the best tasting rice though.

Don't have to be a Mormon to use.

Here is the cheapest place I have found. Prices and shelf life.

Also another good place. you can buy here package it yourself.

Much easier to store food that is good to store for a long time. All those emergency buckets and stuff you see on sale everywhere are a ripoff.

Also you can buy bulk and package your own dry food with these.

All of you guys should have at least 3+ months of food stored.

Any of these bunker rices wild with hulls rather than refined?

Thanks for this, I always forget about the Mormons.

My normal tactic is to just reserve 10% of my grocery budget for cans and rice, until I have about 90 days. Almost every week something is on sale, this week it was 5/$4 canned tomatoes, but I got a ton of them so I held back.

Then rotate the storage IRL and make meals out of them. This is key because a lot of people buy shit they don't know how to prep or don't like as they don't actually eat the stuff usually.

Same I have my regular stuff that I rotate every 6 month. Then I have my long term stuff that's all dated in boxes and most of it expires 2050.

I heard best storage is large garbage cans sealed and replace oxygen with co2 I believe, longest lasting. My stuff is all in my pantry, or a bunker in our bug-out compound.

From having studied in Germany, I learned a lot about their doomsday after the war.

Things were extremely dire for ordinary Germans once they lost the war, and the top tradable commodity was cigarettes. They are always in demand, and cartons are easily broken into packs, and packs into individual cigarettes.

Next is alcohol of course.

After that is guns and ammo.

The ATF seems to exist specifically to prevent ordinary people from accumulating alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. Hmm.

You know, I support doing this, as long as it's Condi Rice..
