1.Take a tour of your home to find any dead space. Dead space is in the interior of your home which has no functional use. Here are some common dead spaces, which can store food: a.In your food pantry – The key to filling your kitchen pantry is a rotation plan.

b.Under beds – this is a nice dark and cool space. Under beds are perfect for #10 cans.

c.Behind the head-board of your bed. Pull out your bed from the wall just far enough to store food buckets. Stack up food bucket to the height of the head-board, then throw a shamee or other covering on top of the buckets to make the space presentable.

d.Closets floor space

e.Closet shelf space – often there is dead space high above a closet shelf. You can stack boxes sometimes fairly high above the shelf. Test the shelf to see if it can support heavy weights.

f.Under desks – My home office desk has spare space for food buckets and boxes.

g.Under bathroom sinks

h.Under coffee table

i.Garages – Only store food in a garage if cool enough in the summer.

j.Under stairwells – Often under the staircase, there is dead space.

k.In an extra, unused bedroom

l.Underneath a sofa with hide-away bed – often there is unused space there.

m.In the basement – whether you have a finished or unfinished basement, block off a corner of the room to stack boxes.

n.In the laundry room – Due to humidity in the laundry room, make sure any items are waterproof sealed.

o.Behind couches - Due to the tilt of the back of a couch, there is often dead space at the rear bottom of a couch.

p.A mud room or utility room – If you have such a room and it is cool year round, this is perfect for stored food.

2.At your bug-out location.
3.Store food with other family members.
4.Store food with good friends and neighbors.
5.Store food with your survival group.
6.Store food in a rental storage unit. This is a good option if you do not have close-by friend and neighbors. You should never keep all your supplies in just one location, in case your primary home is destroyed. If you do not have a bug-out retreat, the rent a storage unit within walking distance of your home (under 5 miles). Find a storage unit which is well shaded and does not get direct sunlight. Heat is the enemy of stored food. If you can afford it, rent a temperature stabilized unit.
7.Store food at work.
8.Start a food storage program at your place of worship. Many places of worship have lots of unused basements and closets. If your place of worship has like-minded survivalist, then start a food storage program.
9.Storage caches on your property.
10.An underground shelter is an excellent option for food storage.
11.If you have farmers in close proximity to your home, establish a direct food purchase relationship with the farmers.
12.Nuture the wildlife around your home. Perhaps set up a salt lick or feeding station for deer. Find locations around your home where there a lots of rabbits and squirrels. Have small animal traps and a 22 LR rifle for hunting small game.
13.Obtain books that describe the wild foods in your region.

Where should you not store food:
1.Do not store food in the attic. The summer heat in the attic will likely cause any stored food to go bad.
2.Do not store food in crawl space. Crawl spaces often take too much heat in the summer and susceptible to rodents.
3.Do not bury food, even if in sealed, water proof containers. Ground water will eventually rot the containers. Or the containers can collapse under the weight of the earth. Or rodents or other animals will chew through. Or you will lose track of the location.
4.Sheds and barns – Gets too hot in the summer and attracts rodents.
5.Do not store any food near fuels and other chemicals. I do not store any food in the places where I store extra fuel.
6.You not store extra food in your fat belly. If you are over-weight, you have a duty to your family to trim down. An obese person will live 6 years less, on average, than a person with normal body weight. Do not deprive your family of your love and presence in those last 6 years.
7.At the Grocery store – Time and time again, the pattern is the same. An announcement of a pending large storm sends everyone scrambling the groceries stores. Groceries are then stripped bare within 24 hours. Then groceries stores are not replenished until long after the storm has gone. Do not rely on getting to the grocery store at the last minute. Instead at the last minute, I am testing the power generator, filling up the bath tubes with water, covering the windows, and perhaps topping off my fuel supplies. I can focus on preparing my home for a storm, because I already have enough food to last for months and years.

Food is so tremendously cheap in US and Canada, despite food inflation in the past three years. The story of Joseph in the Old Testament book of Genesis describes how he stored 7 years of grain in anticipation of a famine. The next Great Depression is likely to last 7 or more years. You have the opportunity now to store years of food for your family. When disaster strikes, the opportunity to prepare is gone. A mouthful of food to a starving person is worth more than all the gold in the world.
