:idunno I am thankful for suburbans, even if I can't get gas,(and can only push it to the cardbourd shanty village outside of town) it will provide better shelter for my family than some tiny mini something, I mean at least I can lay down' in the suburban, and maybe even fit underneath it for...

the family grain mill was the other one I was looking at :) I like that it can grind cereal sizes, and that you can get a flaking attachment has stone and steal burrs you can even make peanut butter.... and I think you can even get a motor that hooks up to it... and it is quiet and doesn't...

I imagine moisture, and rodents are a concern, and I suppose any little eggs that are in the food itself that in mind, if I buy whole grains, wheat rye etc, do I, should I go with the mylar bags and air absorbers, or have you had success, just keeping in bags, or five gallon buckets, and...
