   Find food storage canisters with an airtight seal. I got a good set at Costco for under 20 bucks..and they come in a variety of sizes. Store them in that, and keep the containers in a cool, dry place. Since they’re dry (the beans) you don’t have to worry about spoilage.

   Get a bunch of mason jars and store them in those.

   Look in the yellow pages…There’s places that sell exactly what you need. Air tight comtainers…

   I’d use some sort of vacuum sealer. It gets rid of all the oxygen so the microbes that make food go stale or bad can’t live.

   Miami Milly is right. Any big box or outlet will have airtight containers of the appropriate size. Cool and dry is the way to go. Cellars are usually somewhat damp so I wouldn’t put them unless there was no other choice.

   Seal them in airtight baggies, Reynolds makes one for $10.00 and you can buy the larger gallon bags for it. I have one and use it every other week, grocery shopping for meat. This way you are able to open one bag at a time and not waste the whole thing. The Reynolds one I have, those baggies you can open and reseal it with the air sucker thingies, LOL

   For $10.00 it’s SO worth it since it is just the two of us (with meat especially) and the baggies are $2.95.
   Go on-line for a coupon, I did!!!

   All you have to do is buy plastic or glass storage containers and make sure they have a tight fitting lid, then store in a closet or in the cupboard, just so you don’t store it in a damp place.

   The way the big companies do it is in a food grade bucket with a gasket lid, mylar bag inside and oxygen absorbers.

   The bucket is your first line of defense against bugs and other vermin. Then the mylar bag is the back up in case you bucket gets a crack in it or didn’t seal like you thought it would.

   You use the oxygen absorbers to remove all the oxygen that way bugs and bug eggs that may be in your food already can’t thrive and eat everything inside.

   You can find all the supplies to put up your food in buckets at my store FrontierSuvival.net

   Here are some more detailed instructions on how to store the food in buckets:

   In a 5 gallon bucket I would put 3 of the 500cc packs in a 6gallon I would use 4. One in the bottom, one in the middle, and one on top.
   Make sure you have all your bucket set up with the mylar bag inside and ready to fill before you open the absorbers.
   They will start absorbing oxygen right away after opening. If your not going to use all of them at one time you can store them in a canning jar with a air tight lid, I like to fill the bottom with rice or something to help remove as much air as I can.
   Put an absorber in the bottom of bag add product until about 1/2 full now another absorber, shake the mylar bag to make sure its getting filled in all the cracks.
   fill the rest until about 1 inch or so from the top. Top it off with another absorber.

   Line up the bag tops. Now some people use a regular iron and a board on the bucket to seal them, I have found that a hair straightener iron works just the same but alot faster. Seal kind of slowly, all but about 2 inches. Now squish out all the air you can. Seal the last 2 inches. Put on the lid and your done!
