This is not really long-term preparedness so I don't know where it belongs.

I`m not looking to store a barrel of anything more-so 5lbs, 10lbs or maybe 25lbs because we are starting to bake. The cheap plastic containers at wal-mart seem like they will not hold up or will let in moisture.

What is everyone using to store their baking supplies in?

Maybe you could try some of the 5gallon buckets that have a resealable top
the laundry detergent that i use comes in them and the top seals up extremely tight, might have to place the supplies in a trash bag to protect from the plastic of the bucket but its a good size for storage
plus they're stackable, somewhat easy to carry and can be used as seats if needed

Think in terms of "food quality" plastic containers that seal well enough to keep the bugs out.

I use 2 litre "juice containers" because they are of :food quality" and seal tight enough to prevent bugs and moisture from getting in. Be sure they are completely dried, after washing out the residue, before reloading them with dry staples.

We mainly use 5 gallon buckets. Some of them are square which is nice because that wastes less space but they do cost more.

Vittles Vault I have no experiance with the Vittles Vault but it looks interesting.

Good ideas for reusing containers. If you don't mind buying a container, I've had luck with snapware and lock & lock boxes. They are sold as food storage containers, but geocachers swear by them almost as much as ammo boxes. If it can keep a logbook and other contents dry for years on end in the woods, then it will definitely keep food dry.

Both brands have rubber gaskets built into the lids and wings on the sides that lock the lid into place and keep pressure on the gasket to make it air- and watertight.

In my experience, the lock & lock are built better and lock into place better. The snapware are decent, though, and a little cheaper.

I have found both at Target and Meijer, with Meijer being cheaper. If you look online, Lock & Lock have lots of neat different sizes and shapes.

Normal disclaimer applies - I have no affiliation with any plastic container company, I just hide them in the woods and stick food in them on occasion.

Hi ToddW

I like to use Addis rectangular deep clip & close containers at 4.6 Ltrs . They are food grade and completely air tight and allow easy stacking. They are microwave and dishwasher safe as well and can be used in domestic fridges and freezers also.

I've got a five gallon bucket, but I keep all the food in it's original bags and cans and pile it in there like a grocery bag. The hard metal stuff in the bottom and the soft bags on the top. I've got everything from canned goods to canned hams to rice in there, all in its packaging. I've also got a container that ice cream and coleslaw used to be in, but that's where I store my spare space blankets, ponchos, canvas gloves, etc. in there. It's under my work desk right now...

The squares use less space, but they aren't as strong if you are going to be stacking them. Nor do they have the round advantage- if you need to move it and you don't have a free hand, kick it over and give it a roll. :P

"Cover is not liquid tight and is sold separately. "

In regards to the square lids... if it's not liquid tight then that seems to mean moisture and lil critters can get in?

Those Vittles Vault look cool, especially since they are stackable and seal and front-loading so I can access them. I think I`ll get some to test out.
