Get a food saver vacuum system and vacuum pack the rice in about 4lb bags = 10 each. This will kill any bugs and greatly extent the storage life of brown rice.
I purchase totes from Home Depot to store these vacuum packs.

Yes, that’s a good thought - just as a lot of the ideas/advice on these threads are good thoughts....
The fly in the ointment is that, for me, “just dash out and buy this gadget or that specialized ‘survival’ food” just ain’t gonna happen... I’m on a (rapidly fraying) shoestring, here..... ;)
(I have been able, however, to find affordable totes and containers, from time to time, at the “Dollar” stores - a bead of silicone caulk around the top helps them to seal..)
