Why do you do massive storage and preps?
—We do massive storage and preps to be prepared for emergencies such as job loss or natural disasters. It gives us peace of mind knowing we have food that can last for years.
What items do you store in Mylar bags and food-grade buckets?
—We store a variety of items, including grains, rice, beans, and salt. These items have a long shelf life and can be stored for up to 30 years when stored properly.
How do you track inventory and rotate through stock?
—We track inventory by labeling each bag and bucket with the contents and date of storage. We use the oldest items first and replenish our stock to ensure freshness.
Why do you use Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers?
—Mylar bags provide an airtight seal and protect food from moisture, bugs, and oxidation. Oxygen absorbers remove oxygen from the bags, which helps extend the shelf life of the food.
How often do you replenish your stock?
—We replenish our stock as needed, usually when we use up a certain item or when we see that it is running low. We aim to have a continuous supply of food with a long shelf life.
