Thank you all for the great input so far.

"Another option to the barrel system is the airtight plastic box that Gander Mtn sells for about $30. One of those will feed 4-6 for a week or so."

old_salt what is the plastic box at Gander Mountain you were talking about? Do you have a link to a picture or brand name?


Also I have read about people using the "Vittles Vaults" sold by pet stores. Do these containers stand up to the same abuse as the blue barrels? And is the lid as secure as the blue barrels?
