Hi Barbara!
That will happen if no forum is started, maybe in leisure or something!
If I recall when we were mods we could move threads around. Regardless of whether we get a forum or not, perhaps a sympatric mod will move this thread to another forum.
Don't be fearful.
I know that is easy to say. But I assure you that you will be much less fearful with a couple dozen buckets and boxes of food in long term storage. No need to get preachy or teachy with you sister. You know the truth better than most! You are strong in the Lord and the power of Might! You do not have a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Tell the devil to take a hike. Jesus is Lord of all. Remind the devil of that disastrous day when Jesus rose from the dead an put a hurting on him. Remind him of where he is going. Tell him to move along in the name of Jesus!
Storage space...
That is not uncommon sister. My daughter has the same issue. She has a two room house with not a lot of room.
I have seen some pretty innovative solutions. I know of one where they store all the food in 5 gallon buckets. They arrange these into a rectangle the shape and size of their bed. In their case it is 7 X 5. They cover the araingment with 1/2 inch sheets of plywood and they place the bed on top. There you have 35 buckets of food.
This buckets in this image have no lids. The lids seal very well, and in fact you need a special tool to open them.

Some people make end tables or tables out of stacked buckets or boxes. The Mormons sell all their canned food in boxes that each hold 6 #10 cans. People sack these boxes two high and three across, cover the stack with a fabric, and call it an end table or bedside table. We currently have almost 32 5 gallon buckets filled with food packed in Mylar bags. We have all of our prepper food stored in our bedroom! against one wall we have a 4 x 5 stack of buckets. Against another wall we have 12 more. We have several boxes of the Mormon food across the foot of the bed. We have a small 5000 BTU air conditioner to keep the temperature at about 70 during the hot months. Food lasts longer if you keep it in the 70s. You lose about 1 year of storage life for every degree of temperature over 70. Keeping it all together in one place means you do not have to keep the entire house that cool all the time. Unless you have tons of space, this may be a little difficult, especially if you want to keep it hush hush.
