” We bought a wood burning cook stove about maybe two years ago, just encase. :) “
Urban apartment dweller, here — so I have to be selective as to the types of supplies I lay in, with an eye towards being somewhat easily transportable if a bug-out becomes necessary...
That means that, for the most part, I stay away from canned goods and bulk goods, opting for 1# packs of beans and rice (stored in empty coffee cans) and other lightweight and portable items...
By the way, the other reason that I opted for small packs over bulk is that bulk goods pose a long-term storage problem, not being packed, usually, in water/moisture-resistant packaging... The smaller quantities, while a tad more expensive, are packed in sealed plastic bags, which can be opened as needed.....
Have you ever checked out mylar bags for long term storage?
I made a one time purchase of a bunch of new 1 gal. paint cans. I buy dry goods like beans and rice in 50# bags. On "canning day" I get a chunk of dry ice. I put a golf ball size piece in the bottom of a paint can. Fill with beans (or whatever). Add 3 Bay Leaves. Set a lid on top. LOOSE!!! If you seal the can now it WILL blow up! Wait about 1 hour, when the bottom of the can gets warm the dry ice is gone and you can seal the lid tight.
What happens is the dry ice fills the can with carbon dioxide, purging all oxygen from it. No bugs can survive to spoil the contents. Stuff will stay fresh for years like this. Also the cans are easy to open and reseal as needed for use.
