I believe I am using the "Bacpacker organizing method" also. I have things everwhere, but....that is about to change. I am moving this week and there is a room that I am using only for prep items. My food buckets/tubs are labeled/dated but in the very near future they will be organized much better. I think maybe we (The Colony) do our prepping in such an everyday way of life that we just get relaxed about it all since we don't worry about prepping and just prep so we don't have to worry.
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
I write on each item the expiration date with a sharpie in a prominent location. On canned goods, I put a piece of blue masking tape and write the date on it. Lady, you are right about the seeds. I have a large supply but buy new ones every year as the germination rate goes down as they age. With the older seeds, I typically increased the number planted to compensate for the germination loss. Plus I try and plant some every year just to harvest seeds.
