Maybe look at some of the self rotating systems like shelf reliance. If you're at all handy you might be able to make the same kind of thing yourself. Either way, just off the kitchen is a great place for a deep pantry. Going up and down the stairs gets stale pretty fast.

We're in a very small house...how I managed to raise three kids in what is essentially a two bedroom house baffles me sometimes 😯 our eldest daughter used the dining room with a curtain and the two youngest (boy and girl) shared a room until it was time to move the two girls together into our basement family room as their bedroom and we reclaimed the dining room.
There is an alcove in the room with two small closets, one on each side. One closet has the "chimney" for the family room fire place occupying it and the other is on an outside wall. It's not more than a linen closet in size but, I'm going to have husband shelve it and we'll be able have more storage for supplies. I could feasibly keep a fair bit of stuff there.

I'm going to remove/re-purpose or sell those coats/boots and build shelves (I already have the shelving stored away) and store my canned goods in there.

I know all about not enough space...but one thing missing from most preppers lists I've read is clothing. To me, clothing is going to be one of the hardest things to replace. You can't grow them or hunt them. We've started to save some of the good, well made clothes we have and have started to buy 'future' clothes for our daughter. Socks, undies, jackets, etc. All things we know will be hard to find in a true shtf.

My advice would be, if the clothes are worth saving, is to pack some of them up as another stored item. Imagine wearing out your last set of footwear and thinking back to a set of boots you got 5 bucks for???!

Give me some animal hide and I would make you a pair of maccasins if you wear out your footwear 😀

We can pick this conversation back up in the late fall after my first deer. 😀

don't forget rabbit skin, very soft for in door wear...makes great slippers

One of the things I did consider in my storage was clothing. My wife and I have enough packed away, both at home and at the cabin to supply us (and half the neighbourhood) for the next 30 years. I accumulated enough boots while in the army that I'll never have to buy another pair for the rest of my life. One thing I don,t do is throw away or give away perfectly good clothing that I can use later, rather than spending hard earned money to replace it.
For storage space, we have a 20 foot sea container at the cabin. This summer we plan to bury it and start using it as our root cellar and storage. Our neighbour gets a small backhoe every year to do work around the countryside. He dug in our water line and septic last year. He wants to bury the seacan close to the water line so that I can tap into the line and put a faucet in the seacan in case we need to shelter in there. Smart man. I'm going along with his idea, that way we'll have a root cellar and an emergency shelter in one.

rabbits swear by them...

Oldschool you will have to start a thread, i have quite a few rabit and red fox hides laying around. i was going to make a blanket for the kids but your idea soundes better. my 18 month old goes through slippers like crazy when he is up at the camp, usualy one pair a weekend.

It's roadkill season again. Saw a huge racoon on the side of the road today and that's what I'll be using to learn how to skin and tan hides. I guess you can tell how fresh it is if you're the one who hits it. Practise, practise, practise makes better.
I'm a FORD carnivore.

that is so nasty it is funny Ford Carnivore

Any bigger then that racoon and you would be praticing on that poor ford!
