I do not know of anyone local. Some other members may have a source. I have a few here in the springs.

Where do you get the mylar bucket liners in the springs. And the question about oats you can pick up 9 lbs boxes of quick oats at Sam for around $6

I've seen thin and thick mylar liners. Thick are expensive, but do they work better? Or is it a matter of thicker film leading to pin holing easier when you stuff it in the bucket (bending the liner)?

This is my first post, and why isn't the cop car emoticon a Firebird instead of a Camaro?

Anyone have any recipes they use the dry goods in these pails?

The thicker liners are less prone to pin holing and the transmission rate for 02 is less as well.

If you look at Sorbants website you can see the results for the grades of Mylar as to puncture resistance and other specs.

And I am partial to Firebirds as well. one of mine.

Whole foods has or can get you bags of winter wheat berry's. I have been storing popcorn from sam's cub for 2 or 3 years now in the big 5 gallon water bottles. So far looks good. Popcorn makes really good corn bread. and can strech out the wheat flour for less than a third of the price of wheat berry's. $16.?? for 50 lb bag IIRC.

So you will need a grain mill for the popcorn to get it to cornmeal size?

Does anyone have any recipes for any of the whole foods they are storing to aid in rotation?

Yes, you will need a very good grain mill for the hard popcorn. I tried the hand crank grain mill once. Then I sold it and bought a electric one. I have solar power at my mountain hideout.
