I realize that is basically half the quantity that Terry was asking about...but unless it would be subject to extreme changes in temperature, leaving it stored in its original bags inside your home would appear to be safe storage to me... PS: Unlike Evan, I do not have to load it onto a cart and into the car...my food is delivered by the manufacturer...I just have to put it on the shelves.

When Tedi sends me to get dog food at Cosco, e get 20 bags of 40 lbs each. If my math is right, that is 800 lbs. I oad it onto the cart, load it into the car, and load it onto the shelf at ome.

Sounds like that show on nat geo. usually only keep a month, but I don't know why it wouldn't stay just ine in the bag as long as there weren't any rips or tears and it was in a dry place. "Use by" dates are over a year (which is a scary thought for people and pets!). I'd be afraid of repackaging in big plastic containers with hat we know about plastic now. guess is there is a disaster freezers won't work unless you have another rrangement (solar). ou know if you really had noting to do, you can "can" meat using a ressure canner, big quart or better jars and those would last forever. athy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC elebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions isit _http://www.pinehillgsds.com/_ (http://www.pinehillgsds.com/) n a message dated 7/11/2012 2:22:03 A.M.
