I just read this letter from the new edition of Backwoods Home magazine. I really don't know if the author is correct,; but it does make sense. It is certainly not something I had considered as a multi-use container. ........................

Best water and air tight container to store food
I read your every issue from cover to cover. In your Nov/Dec 2008 issue "Ask Jackie" section she talks about storing food, but don't use ammo cans. Her answer was so-so to OK. The BEST water and air tight container is a 1-gallon paint can. These can be had at any bulk paint store; I buy them by the case and store food, etc. in them. They have lids that are water and air tight, and have a handle on each can; plus with a marker pen you can identify what's in each can. They can be opened and resealed many times; the lids are metal also. They don't break like glass jars.
