[Nomad]

 Storage buckets,
 You can get them at fast food places, bakery's, food handlers and large chain stores.
 Use them for brass sorting place in baggies and they can be stored neatly, food storage,
bugout items all can be stored....Grab and go........ 
 unused clothes, place in a garbage bag in a bucket take the vacuum suck out the air and
the buckets can be marked and stacked neatly.....
 Lots of ideas out there share them......

We did some dehydrating with our garden excesses this year.  We vacuum-sealed everything we didn't intend to eat right away, and stored the rest in a 5-gal bucket with a gamma seal lid.  For those who aren't familiar, the gamma lid replaces the snap-on lid of your 5-gallon bucket with one that has an easier-to-use screw-top.


Food2store in Meridian has them, and you can find them all over online.  I also found that Zamzows sells buckets with gamma seal lids for about the same price as I've seen just the lids for elsewhere. (IIRC - $14?)  They are a speckled gray color, I think... not the plain white.

Do they make lids that have a vaccum port on them?  That would save some time.

 What we did was place the items such as cloths, sheets and the like in a garbage
sack and hook up to the vacuum cleaner and pulled out the extra air and put
on the lids nice for packing summer clothes {mom's stuff}........

Wakl-Mart on Overland has buckets, gammar lids, 15 & 55 gal water barrels also.

Best prices I have found. They look to be the same brand Container & Packaging sell. Which is who Winco, and Food 2 Store also source from.
