do you put that in sealed buckets or something so it will last longer?

sir smithlabs! Five gallon buckets with mylar bags would be better wouldn't they? And you put in the moisture absorbent packets?

Yes, but I rotate stock, so long term storage is not needed. In SHTF, I will hunt small game, and net fish, for us, and my fur babies.

Oddly enough, I do have favorites, but I use them all. For SHTF use, the primary small game rifle will be a BB gun. I have a .177 calibre gamo pellet rifle with a silencer. It is legal to use a silencer on an air rifle, and this one is the apex of air rifles. It is effective for small game out to a hundred yards. A pellet gun is very inexpensive to shoot, and is also quiet which is smart in a SHTF situation.
For home defense, in a SHTF situation I will carry a 357 pistol and rifle.

oh wow really? sir smithlabs, what is the name and make of that air rifle so I can look it up. Our place has so many rabbits it ain't funny. You could live on the rabbits.
What about a shotgun for home defense?

The pellet rifle is a Gamo brand, and the .177 is the most common pellet, I am stocking up on those now.
I have taken a rabbit, with this rifle; at 60 yards, with a head shot. It went all the way through....
The US Military gauges lethality by penetration of 1/2 inch of pine board. If a bullet can penetrate a 1/2 Inch board, it still has enough power to be lethal. This Gamo will penetrate 2 inches of pine at 25 yards.
A Shotgun is good but is not very precise. It is a good choice for a novice, in case they miss. There are special shells for home defense with a shotgun. Nasty shells for a nasty job!

sir smithlabs, which model do you have or do you not remember? I thought you had a good memory? I went to their site but there's like a dozen models. Does yours have a scope? You just pump it one time?
