Thanks for the very detailed advice on the storage of rice and beans. It makes good sense.
I think the plastic pails as you suggest are a better choice then a new 55 gallon drum. A drum is really too big to move if full. The welds should not leach anything under dry conditions since the food would be in a plastic bag.
But I can see the overall advantage of the plastic pail and I like the bit with the dry ice.
I would like eventually to have enough food to last for a couple years. That is a lot more important than 1000's of rounds of ammunition.
I have an indoor shooting range under the house that could double as a shelter. Since it can be closed off from the outside. The walls are extremely thick and the the two floors above each have 3/4" masonery product on them plus a metal roof on top, all of which should be good for stopping gamma rays from a distant bomb blast.
