SHTF!

I found apple cider on clearance for $2/gallon. Added 5 pounds of brown sugar ($6) and some tap water and a spoonful of yeast from the fridge. It's been bubbling for a few days in my brew pot. Pretty sure I will have a decent cider or if SHTF I could distill it to probably 5 bottles of 100 proof apple brandy

The day we're out of coffee, I give up!

I would not normally share how I stash my stash, but since we are almost family here on ODT...well...ok...!

I just have cases of those tiny little bottles.
Different stuff, always figured they would make good trade fodder.
Figured I'd trade them more than drink them.
They're gonna last forever!

So, I started my long term storage a month or so ago...came across some ideas. There's no "perfect" strategy, just what works for the individual and family.
Everything seems to have a weakness when it comes to storage, very bothersome. Buckets can crack, cand can rust, glass (gee)...and vacuum packaging is great for frozen and "short" term...so I found another route...
I hope it works, milar bags with oxygen absorber. From what I read, when done properly, people say it be good for 50+years, I'd be more than happy with 1/2 that.
They're flat, won't bust open, no need to worry about too much getting into them, easily organizable...
Currently most my dry goods are stored under my bed in totes, being of idahoan roots, I hope to build me a "root cellar" here in georgia...its gonna be a task, but I think I'm up to it.
