Hi! I'm new to this site and I love it! Never thought of looking for a site about this.
Bit about me: Love Camping and Backpacking. Spent past 10 years as an Assistant BSA Leader to our local troop. Married 10years. Have 2 daughters. Hubby is a construction worker (builds homes).
We built our home and are still in the process of looking for a great kitchen design. It's perfect space for what I need it to do, but after 2 years of really getting into this food storage stuff, I realize that the kitchen is all wrong. It is still under construction (falls of being married to a construction worker, lol). I could go in right now and pull down the whole lot and start over. There's just no space. Previously, I kept food storage in the office...which is now the baby's room. lol!
What I'm looking for: Pics on building the perfect layout for bugging out at home. Is there such a thing for these ideas?
We've recently looked at some houses to buy, and one of them had...instead of an actual kitchen sink, it had 2 stainless steel buckets. Like the ones that you would use to feed animals or keep outdoor stuff in. The drains were easily popped off underneath and the strainers were put in to keep them from leaking. Then water was collected. Now I thought this was a great idea. Would I convert my giant cast iron sink to buckets? Probly not. But what are some good ideas for building a prepardness kitchen?
My kitchen is 8'10 x 12ft. There is about 3 more extra feet on it, but thats for the hot water heater, which also needs a cabinet built around it. Have an idea for that? Love any advice
thnx
