For long term storage emergency food I put up various dried foods (beans, rice, pasta) in mylar bags. You can get 50 quart size bags with oxygen absorbers for around $25-$30. Fill them up (1.5 pounds each is the average I found), throw in the O2 absorber, squeeze out the air and put the end on a 2x4 and seal with an iron. Simple to do and fairly inexpensive as you can buy all kinds of beans, rice and pasta in bulk. Sealing vitamins in the bags is a good idea, too. They are supposed to keep up to 25 years.
