The 5 Gallon Bucket Food Storage Project – Part 1-A

This is the beginning of an on going project where we are going to build two 5 gallon buckets of long term storage items. During the project we will choose more items, keep track of the nutritional profile and discuss vacuum sealing, mylar bags and oxygen absorbers.

The first video went a bit long because I explained the total project and went over the first five items so watch part 1-B for the conclusion.

The first items in the bucket are 2 packages each of Garbanzo Beans, Lentils, Elbow Marconi, Cranberry Beans and one large Box of Minute Rice.

The Food Storage Blues

Performed May 10th at the Naperville IL Stake Cultural Arts Festival. There were 16 acts that night and we played last. Mormons are encouraged to keep a supply of food for emergencies, so this is a spoof on food storage. My friends and I wrote a blues song about the lighter side of keeping a food supply.

Lyrics:

I got my food storage
But no place to put it.
I got my two year’s storage,
But no place to put it.
It’s under my bed,
Behind the door,
Stacked in a pile
In the middle of the floor
With a table cloth on it.

Yeah, I’m feelin’ kinda queasy,
From what I ate.
(Girls: What did you say?)
I said I’m feelin’ kinda queasy,
From what I just ate.
(Guys: What did he say?)
(Girls: He said he’s feeling queasy
From the food he ate.)
I should have checked
The expiration date.

(Guitar solo)

I got cans of wheat,
But no wheat grinder.
(Girls: What did you say?)
I got red wheat in #10 cans that I packed myself at the stake cannery and it’s in my closet and my garage and my attic and my crawl space,
But no wheat grinder.
I got barrels of beans.
But I don’t really like ‘em.
All kinds of beans.
But I don’t like beans at all.

Girls:
I got soy beans, chili beans,
Wax beans, kidney beans,
White beans, butter beans,
Boston baked beans,
Green beans, lima beans,
String beans, yellow beans,
Red beans, navy beans,
Black beans, turtle beans,
Broad beans, pinto beans,
Burke beans, jelly beans,
Mung beans, canary beans,
Maverick beans.

(Trumpet solo)
(Drum solo)

I’m going to throw it all away.
Buy Snickers candy bars.
(Girls: What did you say?)
I’m going to throw it all away.
Buy me Snickers bars.
I’m gonna to trash my 72-hour kit.
Toss it in the dumpster and stomp on it.
If there’s a natural disaster,
I’ll live on Snickers bars.

All:
If there’s a natural disaster,
I’ll live on Snickers.
