Got these empty honey buckets for .50 cents each at a grocery store. Good for smaller items and portions, requires a smaller mylar bag and oxy absorber too. I did about 12 of these last weekend.In order of access after occupying the shelter, my nutritional plan is:
1. First Two Weeks - Daily Ration Boxes
2. First Two Months - Freeze Dried Serving Portion Food
3. First Year - Half Size Buckets and Canned Goods
4. Next Ten Years - Full Sized Buckets and 100kg drums
I plan to keep acquiring new food in my rotation until we have another ten years worth of 100kg drums and full sized buckets. This super long term reserve will probably go into the silos. At present the silos are a hodge podge of all kinds of food, most of it due to be rotated out and replaced. I always wanted the silos to be the long reach reserve where I break that stuff out after ten years of subsisting on the plan above.

Where do you get your Mylar bags? Never tried them but seems like a complicated process to use. From what I've read you have to use a piece of wood and a clothes iron to seal them etc?
It sounds complicated but honestly, it isn't. You could teach your dog to do it while you go and watch television.

Get the right size bags and absorbers for your system.
You're absolutely right about the approach.
Open the absorbers seal only when you're ready to use them all within a couple of minutes.
1. Put the bag in the bucket.
2. Pour the foodstuff in the bag.
3. Is the iron hot? Iron one of the absorbers on a towel with a few strokes until it is warm.
4. Throw the absorber in on top of the food.
5. Hold the board behind the edge of the mylar bag and smoothly seal the bag shut by pressing the iron down it in one slow stroke.
6. Fold the sealed edge over and close the bucket lid.
Done.
Be careful not to breathe in fumes from the mylar when it is being melted with the iron. These fumes are quite toxic temporarily.
to-date you're the only person I've heard of that has a cobalt-ready food storage supply. most everyone else has a year at the MOST.... usually pitifully less.

Those look like frosting buckets available for free from the bakery department at the local grocery store. Are they 5 gallon buckets?
