Is Your Stuff Stored Safely?

Is Your Stuff Stored Safely?

By:


I once had a great business idea of selling sprouting seed mixes to people who thought the Apocalypse was coming to get them or something like that. Seriously. I actually offered to help them acquire the product on their own, but they were lazy and told me they just wanted a finished product. While that was great, because I made more money doing it like that, I needed a place to store my products.

I rented a storage container that was brought in from off-site. I had to pay delivery and pick up charges, the location was less than secure, the products were not secured against vermin and weathering as much as I would have liked and there was absolutely no climate control inside the container. Shipping containers are great for shipping, but not always for long term storage of valuable goods.

I moved my operations to a warehouse and started storing my products there. The warehouse not only provided the security I desired, it also was less expensive and climate controlled. The machinery available to use to move my products were great and the people operating it were easy to work with as long as I paid them. I continued that business for a year and figured I missed the boat on the end of the world so I needed to find a real job.

The warehouse storing of commercial goods is a practice that dates back to the times of ancient Egypt. The reason Joesph was supposed to have saved Egypt is because he oversaw the Pharaoh's warehouses and granaries. He increased the holding capacity, started hoarding grain and created a monopoly when crops started failing for a long drought. While this scenario might seem far fetched, the basic principles of bringing your goods from far away and selling them at a higher price locally has made the fortunes of many men and women. In Proverbs it talks about the wisdom of bringing goods from far away to render the best value for the goods purchased.

Wisely creating supply for a market that is demanding is made more complex because of modern transportation. You can ship grain from around the world to feed your country if you have enough money or fuel. If you run out of money or a natural disaster strikes, you can face the cold hard truth that most food is shipped from far away and very little is stored locally. Maybe I should start selling sprouting seeds again. The Apocalypse could be coming.
