@GOPerfect We use to own the Shelf Reliance one, it eventually failed as did several other ones we have tried. The only small can FIFO rack we use are for soup sized cans and it’s two that we got from a supermarket going out of business. We do use the Shelf Reliance racks for #10 cans and find they have held up well after a decade or longer.
We keep a small pantry upstairs for the regularly used stuff and just backfill it as needed. PM me if you want more details.

Great idea, but dam that is expensive. Just buy more cans with that $100

Buy by the case and put date on each case. Think how the quartermaster would handle stores. Look at cans in boxes at Aldi's.
I have cases of all I need. Dated and stowed. I have one case of all foods open at a time that we use from. Just looking for an easier way to stack them on the shelves.

Its pricey for what it is. I have plans to modify one of my shelves for a flow system, I made a prototype out of aluminum coil stock, but wasn't completely happy with the design. I should probably get on that, empty shelves get full quicker than full ones due to wasted space.

I have done very similar in the garage at the land. Always use the space provided.
Lol. I have a series of plastic shelves that have become full. I cleared a space in the basement as a temporary storage area today and was going to reorganize everything tomorrow. Gravity had other plans. One of the shelves failed tonight. Lesson learned. Do not overburden the shelving unit.

I have a series of these lining the left side of our shipping container at our rural property -

They hold a surprising amount of weight. They seem expensive until you price out what it would cost to build shelves from wood which wouldn't be as strong and tend to waste more space.

you could even forget about the backing board and just use the wall for that .. just add some metal "L" brackets to to it
to anchor to the wall studs for the weight .. you have the 1/2 inch gap on the back side to play with for the "L" brackets ..
and would save you a big chunk of plywood ..

A setup somewhat like this is on my to do list. I have wallspace in the basement available, just gotta find the time.

How do you keep the liquid in the cans from freezing?
Most of the food that was brought out last spring had been eaten while out there throughout the year.
I have looking at different ways to keep all types of food stuffs for long term, over the winter storage
Attempting to learn what will work. (Short of deep burying.)
I did a few plastic tote setups as a trial run, I'll see if anything works.

I learned from my elders that canned goods last the longest at a well regulated temperature of between 50-60F. Which is usually basement temperatures here in Upstate. Or if you bury them around 6 to 10 feet below ground.
I've been eating canned and preserved goods that are right now circa 2016 -- no ill effects.
My elders also showed me how to butcher chickens/turkeys, cows, deer and other animals on the spot with minimal waste. In other words, I don't mind getting my hands a little dirty...

Good to know. I keep canning soups, stews, and stock faster than my wife and I can consume them.

For prepping, I do recommend getting a mix of no salt added and regular for the veggies where possible.
I also recommend getting some canned gravies, broths, and canned fruit (helps keep morale up). Don't waste the water that comes out of those cans! Use that for the beans and rice as added flavoring.
Also, try to practice using a cauldron and a dutch oven using either charcoal or wood.
It will make for SHTF less confusing and you'll have one less thing of "second" guessing yourself.

I stockpile the canned goods. Have some that are 2018. Still good!
I wish I knew how to

KISS method .. just cut it up ... package it and freeze or can it ... why do you need select cuts off beef or deer .. ect .. ??
if you want to butcher .. there are tons of vids on youtube on it .. how to section out the cuts and what not ..
a co worker hit a deer with the shop road call truck .. bring the deer back .. ok .. it was like late summer temps ..
no processor open for that .. i just cut up what was useable for stew meat and wrapped it up and tossed in the freezer ..
25lbs of free meat ..
