How do you do it?

There are many many subjects I could ask this about, because lets face it, you all do this whole crazy military life so much better than I do and I have it pretty easy so far.  But the question for today is how do you do your food storage?  I know we have all been counseled to have some, but lets face it, who wants to move 400 lbs. of wheat and legumes?  And when you get the more exotic, but admittedly more than just a little ways out of the way assignments (like Japan) where storage doesn't come as easily, what do you do?

We have started trying to accumulate at least some and my mother-in-law did some dry pack canning for us at her local cannery (thanks!) for stuff like rice and powdered milk that we will use.  But I am not up for trying to do home canning outside of a little freezer jam (because contrary to what my husband thinks, it really does taste better than Smuckers.)

So ladies (and any guys out there) what do you do?  Do you try to grow a garden?  Do you have a deep freeze?  Have you given up all together? (I'm leaning that direction, although I believe on having enough toilet paper on hand in an emergency!)  So please post comments and let me know your good ideas.
