One of the hardest things for every prepper is where to store your supplies.  You have to find the best option for you.  Try to avoid places like self storage units as you pay a monthly fee for those.  If you have a basement use that.  Extra space in a closet or cabinet.  Use those.  If you have access to a DVR or a way to get a hold of digital video files too for the TV series Preppers.  Like these articles it has loads of useful information.
