I definitely wasn't one of the kids who paid attention in Home ec. class! I was busy sneaking out and going to the tech lab or to the art room to play with exactos!
Speaking of classes I am thinking about having a "long term food storage" Mylar session at my place in March. Many items you can store yourself saving $$$ on buying #10 cans.
Items like rice, pasta, sugar, beans, spices can all be packed right in the home. If there is enough interest I will see about picking up the bags and 02 absorbers. I am low on bags but if there is interest please post here. I have the heat sealer.
Each bag will hold about the same quantity as a #10 can. Bags can be cut in half to make two smaller ones. See the middle pic in the post above. I would have to break it down but I think each bag+ absorber would be about 70 cents or so.

Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
On the topic of wheat. The "Prairie Gold" out of Montana is amazing stuff. My sister-in-law has a wheat business in Oklahoma. Electric mill can be expensive ($100-800) and manual mills are quite labor intensive and still expensive (5-15min per cup of flour). I have heard in the survival situation, think stone age grinding methods. But let us keep the granite out of our teeth(native american stone Matata). One tool can be made from a metal pipe. Cut the pipe into 3 equal sections maybe 1'-3'? in length and bind them together. The end can be used to pound grain to flour with an up down vertical action. Laborious and who knows how pretty of a loaf you'd get out of it, but there it is.
For those of you living under a rock King Soopers has cans of tuna on for 44 cents each with no limit. The "best by" date was 10/09/13 This is a good deal on something everyone likes and will keep for a long time.

Excuse me for being the dumb bachelor about cooking and foods. I usually eat whats in my house in a timely manner while mainly keeping a stock of canned foods. My question is, how long will frozen meats last? Frozen Steak, Frozen ground beef, frozen chicken breast, etc? I have usually never kept them longer than a couple of months before thawing, cooking, and eating.
* Bacon or sausage: one to two months
* Ham, hot dogs or cold cuts: two to three months
* Raw roasts, steaks or chops: four to twelve months
* Raw ground meat: three to four months
* Cooked meat: two to three months
* Raw, whole poultry: one to two months
* Raw poultry parts: nine months
* Cooked poultry: four months
* Raw, wild game: eight to twelve months
You need to re-wrap most items to prevent freezer burn. I can attest to the life of Bacon. I bought a bulk pack once and all was fine for the first 3-4 months. Then I pulled some out at the 6 month mark and had to throw it away.

Why such a large range?
Does this include ground deer meat or is that wild game?
Does this mean chicken breast? Wings?
Depends on the cut and packaging
I believe so. You can add a little to it (time) but ground meat of any kind has a short life.
Yes

Speaking of food storage, and thank you Jerry for the info, what about Mountain House? I was looking today and have never tried it. Is it good? How long does it last? I was just browsing around at Gander Mountain today and was looking at the cans there. One can did not take up that much space, was light weight, and had 16 servings.
Your thoughts?
