Nashville Mayor Worthless W****
There are so many decent people in Tennessee; why can't any of them get elected to public office?
All this comes a week after I attended a book signing of "A Murder in Music City". The case involved the brutal 1964 murder of Paula Herring, a 19-year-old freshman at UT who returned to her suburban home for a weekend visit. At the time Nashville had a sot mayor named Beverly Briley who was apparently having an affair with Paula's mother. That woman got around, mainly with every powerful man in the city. They needed to keep her quiet so a murder coverup was put in place. It was a disgusting, sordid affair as well as a disgrace to the city that tolerated Briley's behavior.
I hope Nashvillians will toss this mayor to the lions. America has many problems, and evil rulers is right at the top.
"A Murder in Music City" is a great read, in case you have any illusions left about American justice.

Where does the bivvy fit into your sleep layers?
It's the outer layer to keep my bag cleaner and dry. Depends on the weather and if I'm in a shelter of some sort. I get winter at home -30 without the wind chill at times.
Only worn in bed - a set of polypropylene long john's, beanie hat, booties. Fleece bag liner, perhaps a thin sheet, cozy wrapped hot water bottles, sleeping bag, 1.5" Therm-a-rest pad, dry clothes for next day (at least under stuff - shorts,socks,shirt perhaps in a freezer Ziploc), bivy.
When I get up I instantly hang the open bedding out in the open air so it can 'dry' as much as it can from the residual body heat. If necessary I'll hang it so a good size fire can dry it by radiant heat, under a tarp if necessary and turned as required, might be before bed time or breaking camp. Plan ahead the night before so the stuff to hang is already set up for use in the morning, while you are eating breakfast, planning your day, breaking camp I never leave my stuff out when I'm not there.

Best storage for flour, sugar, etc.

No "keeper" container will do it for the kind of storage you are asking about. No vacuum sealer will do it either.
Here's a table of the storage times you can expect for different dry foods at 70º F in mylar with oxygen absorbers and how to adjust those estimated times for higher or lower storage temps:
https://www.usaemergencysupply.com/i...e-of-dry-foods
Powdered eggs are actually only good for a year, though, and even egg crystals only store 5 to 7. Shortening powder will keep the listed 15 years, but butter powder will likely only be good for 5. Also, beans won't go bad, but stored raw they may turn impossible to soften when cooked after 5 to 10 years in storage. And brown rice can be stored for 5 to 10 years, but only if it is parboiled brown rice (5 to 7) or minute brown rice (7 to 10). Other than those quibbles, the storage times given there are fairly good estimates for storage at room temp in the average home.
Sugar will last forever as long as it is kept dry and protected from vermin. Flour, on the other hand, has a relatively short shelf life even if refined, and a very short one if whole-grain. Baking mixes also will not store because the baking powder in them dies in a couple of years. The only practical longterm storage there is to store the intact whole grains plus a grinder to turn them into flour as needed and to store baking soda and cream of tartar or another acid to make your own baking powder.
For canned foods, any kind of canned milk, tomatoes/tomato products, or acid fruits won't store well for more than 2 years. Other fruits and vegetables, assuming good storage conditions, will last well at least a couple of years longer, and plain canned beans and meats more than 5.
Most oils will only last a year on the shelf, if that. A few exceptions like macadamia and camelina will last 1-1/2 to 2 in nitrogen-flushed brown glass/metal. (Any oil in plastic is well on the way to rancid when you buy it; don't bother trying to store it.) Olive oil in tins will last 2 to 3 years on the shelf if it's the genuine cold-pressed, unrefined EVOO article. Most nuts in metal cans will only last 1 to 2 years. In anything else, their life is measured in months. For longer storage of oils/oily foods, the freezer is your friend. For fats/saturated oils solid at room temp, you can expect a shelf life of 2 years or longer depending on how saturated the fat is. Tallow will last the longest of the animal fats, clarified butter/ghee will last a year, and commercially canned butter will last 10.
As for search, you can use "Search" on the first gray navigation bar at the top of all the pages here and choose Advanced Search, or you can use Google's Advanced Search restricted to this domain (which will actually work better).
Welcome to the board! It sounds like you're a total noob to food storage, so you have a lot to learn and are going to want to spend a little time reading the pinned threads at the top and doing some searching.
