I still have mine, and it gives me great comfort to go down to the basement and look at it all.

I feel even better knowing that everything still has another 10 to 20 years storage life.

Cheapest insurance we ever purchased, and it was a one time cost. We are thinking of buying more, to extend our shelf-life.

That is a good plan. Even with the 10-20 year shelf life of some things they need to be rotated. Although the whole thing may have been a one-time expense it is something you can do a little at a time while using some of the more perishable things and restocking in a rotating manner.

Of course, I am not always as organized as I want to be about this. LOL Makes for a helter skelter mess sometimes.

You need to be using your supplies and replacing them as you go, even the survival food will age with time and not be as good.

I too need to order more from Walton’s, as I am out of oatmeal, rice and lentils, flour and cornmeal, or almost low enough for a good order....one of these days.

It does feel good to know that you have food to eat, one can live under a tree, as long as there is food.
