Rainy day food is owned by Walton feed and that is where my Montana hard white wheat comes from, I buy it from a local Seventh day adventist group that has a provision truck come around every 4 months to keep the shipping cost down low.

Mormon doctrine notwithstanding, I would say that from personal observation that oriental people are probably the best supplied of the population who is not what Glenn Beck calls a "prepper". They buy rice in 20 pound bags and boxes and boxes of dried noodles, dried mushrooms, and lots of other stuff that keeps.
I only keep rice, eggs, frozen vegetables, some tomatoes, popping corn, and some frozen fish in my house, but Mom and I could get by for a month or two from the stuff she has on hand. It wouldn't be a great month, but I'll bet that cake batter and creamed corn fritters isn't half bad.While you were hanging yourself , on someone else's words

Rice in a bag get's weevils if stored for any length of time, just like flour, that's the whole idea of the flour in the can. You also have to buy the rice in a can if you want to store it for longer periods and I have found that the Mormons have rice in cans at a better price than anyone else.
I wish they had some of the other products I store like dried fruit and such.Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

To store things like rice on board sailboats (which have little or no refrigeration) you put it in a glass container, and then place a little dry ice (carbon dioxide) on top. Let it sit for just a couple of minutes and when the dry ices is about 50% dissipated put the top on.
What happens is, the carbon dioxide displaces the atmosphere in the jar and kills all the baby bugs.
Dry ice can be used to arrest and prevent insect activity in closed containers of grains and grain products, as it displaces oxygen, but does not alter the taste or quality of such foods. For the same reason, it can prevent or retard food oils and fats from becoming rancid.

I think they have some pretty good freeze dried fruits here too.

We have some real preppers on this board.
I still need to organize my pantry...Only then can I see what is really missing. I need to get more organized. Period.

Preppers are just plum insane.........................I think.
Anyway, I'm no prepper, and I don't think starvation and rioting is going to break out in our neighborhood. But it does pay to be prepared. There are plenty of people whose homes are intact in NY/NJ but they're having to beg for food, etc.
If the power goes out for a week (it did that, once) I do not want my family to go hungry. As it is now, we'll be warm and we'll have something to eat. And that feels good.
Maybe next year I'll get one of these:

Nothing wrong with stocking up on non-perishables. I always stock up on toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies etc.
I'm going to charge a lot for toilet paper too.
