For each of the last 4 years or so I have been adding to my long term storage of food staples.

Every year I seal up in Mylar with O2 absorbers:
Instant Rice, Oatmeal, malto meal, powdered milk, elbow noodles, French onion soup, instant potatoes.

I have a couple 5 gallon buckets of rice and pinto beans in Mylar with absorbers, and 1/2 gallon bottle of pickling salt, epsom salt, baking soda.

I’m going to be stepping this up again this summer doing more of all of the above as well as a few new things.

Any suggestions of what else would be good for this type of storage?
