you pointed out the HDPE #2 Bucket, to reiterate that point, not all HDPE buckets are advertised as 'food buckets' or "food safe' but they ARE. I have a friend who owns/runs a large plastics factory and he confirms this..and that's good enough for me... I LOVE GAMMA lids...i just ordered 6 off Amazon for around the same price. I have a 40 pound bag of flour resting in my freezer right now. :) great minds. The hot vehicle is FIRE! great idea. I have to use a rubber mallet on the lid collar half the time. Usually I do what you do and keep items in their original containers and into the bucket. sometimes I'll pour the item in (like maybe with large amounts of flour) for easier scooping but usually I do what you do, as is. I don't worry about O2 absorbers nor mylar. I'm eating rice that is now 14 years old which I poured into an old Napa cooler...when we moved from the old house to the new house..which is why I know the exact date...and it's fine fine fine. Thanks Anthony, you rock! BTW i never considered eating gravy with rice...never, crossed, my, mind. But I'm a born and bred Yankee....who knew it was a thing?
Yes!!! The HDPE most definitely is food safe as it's been around long enough that we know it doesn't leach into the food. Working on restaurants taught me that one. Gamma lids are absolutely essential. I learned my lesson more than once trusting regular lids. Never again. Rodents will bite through regular lids like nothing. Nothing against the mylar crowd. But unless I'm specifically storing it to not be touched for 20 years, I haven't found the need to use it. I just finished a 7 year old bag of rice. Stored in the original bag it came in. Tasted just fine. Had to cook alittle longer but works as advertised. YOUVE NEVER PUT GRAVY ON RICE?!?!?! Don't come down south and eat my cookin. You'll never leave. Fried chicken and rice n gravy is a staple in my household.
Hey old buddy!! Hope all has been great. I just listened to 30 minutes of ads before and during your video AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER FOR YOU. ✌🏼💚 That’s a great price for the bucket. (Still watching)
Hey hey hey!! Glad to see you!! Don't you just love the really long ads for no reason? Especially when they're 3x as long as the video you're trying to watch. You didnt have to watch them all. I wouldn't blame you at all for skipping that nonsense. I hope yall are doing well friend!!
We utilize a similar approach to emergency supplemental food stores. I'd suggest adding solid fats (tallow, coconut oil, even crisco) or metal-canned olive oil, all in mylar with oxygen absorbers, salt (iodized and curing salt with the information on how to preserve meat) and plenty of spices. Carefully stored, those have a conservative 2-3 year shelf life and I've used some at 8 years with little noticable degradation. The fats provide a huge increase in food energy density and are needed for absorption of some vitamins, along with the salt are required for a diet longer than a few months, the spices are mainly for morale but that ain't nothing. As to what kind of rice, I pack mostly parboiled for the energy savings in cooking but include a bit of variety. A similar bucket could be easily set up with rolled oats (just vacuum packed and I've had them at 10 years) and chickpeas or great northern beans for great breakfast options either savory or sweet, with some sugar, imitation vanilla, maple flavoring, and savory spices. Great video! If even one family applies this, you've helped all of us. Thanks.
Yes!!! I have so many fats stashed away. I would add them to the bucket if I was sure it would last 10 years but I know better. Fun fact, the Pecan and walnut oils I press myself have lasted over 3 years without going rancid. I design mine to work with my pantry. Like my wheat buckets. I have enough salt stashed away I'll probably never run out so that doesn't have to go into the buckets. That's what I'm hoping happens with this video. Hoping someone that is considering self reliance or emergency preparation sees this and it gives them that little win they need to keep going.
Thank you! Truthfully you could put them from the freezer to the fridge and gradually bring the temps up but you'll still have an issue in a humid environment. When it's 100° outside, the hot car is the fastest way to evaporate it all but parking them in front of a fan works as well. Which I do in the cooler months
in the spring my apartment got flooded by an overflow caused by the nuthead who used to live above me. because I keep most of my food in buckets, the ones in my living room kept my food dry and mold free
Honey is a near-perfect food, especially for storage. And for many people, a teaspoon of honey per day will help with or even cure pollen allergies, but for that purpose it MUST be non-pasteurized locally-produced honey. I love honey in my coffee for sweetener, far better than sugar, and coffee is an antioxidant too.

Thank you. I learn better by doing and seeing someone show me. I suspect im not the only one in that regard. I can't stand just being talked to about the news. Drives me crazy. Unfortunately it's what most channels devolve into when they run the well dry of ideas

Good video!
Psychological tip - call your storage your Pantry, it's a term that everyone is familiar with and it will encourage food rotation.
Good idea!! I hate wasting food so I do everything I can to rotate it all
Love the gravy packets...but there was still space throw a few more spices in lol
Lol of course there was. I had to keep it under $50. Which in today's economy is very tough to do
Great video! Simple and effective for people wondering how to get things started so they have some insurance.
Thank you! Hopefully everyone has something. Never know when you might need it
Gravy...the since the beginning of time food champion

It's what makes the world go round

Great vid Anthony. Would like hear some other options about avoiding condensation in transition from the freezer

Nice job. And congrats on 10K !

Be warned. It can get kind of addicting if you ever need to break into it and it saves you
Good stuff!!!

Put honey in there as well. I would also rotate out critical medications. I like pasta, would do that if rice is a no no in your diet.
I make sugar buckets for all things sugar related. Only thing that's frustrating is having to heat the honey to get it back into liquid form.

White Rice cooks faster than Brown Rice. This could matter for time and fuel expenditure.

Gravy is a nice touch,with enough of it I think you can make cardboard edible.😅
You ain't lyin. Gravy is something that is a requirement for certain meals. Granted, I prefer homemade. These work in a pinch
Man I hate those recipe sites. Lol
They drive me nuts. Gotta scroll and scroll just to see if the recipe is stupid or not

Will an oxygen absorber work instead of freezing the products first?
@superchet4408 in theory it should work but I've never tried it
