So I made a purchase that I have seen other survival sites talk about and I have to tell you these are AWESOME! I went and purchased a Gamma Seal bucket lid to seal up some of my food preps before storing them in the basement. These seals are air and water tight so you can even bury them if you want to go that route. I'm not much on the squirrel storage method but its more about what you like to do. Anyway, after giving one a shot I have decided to start using them for all sorts of storage in the basement. The lid enables the buckets to still be stacked so its a pretty effiecent storage system for whatever you can fit in the bucket. My wife even noticed how rigid the lids were and noted that they would be great for storing decorations and craft supplies in. I posted a link so you can check them out for your self.
