It's great that you rotate, even small pantries suffer waste because they don't open things in the order they were bought, and I know that I lost homegrown potatoes because they came in over a long period and I just threw them all in the same bag.

Everyone should buy dried goods in bulk, it's not even prepping you just avoid having no food or paying abnormally high spot prices in the supermarket.

In terms of storage there are lots of options, some more pragmatic than others. Glass is probably the best option but you're limited by the size of jars, they are fragile and the lids degrade if stored in the damp.

Small plastic barrels are great, they last forever, don't suffer damp, totally pest proof.

Ceramic pots are far better than plastic, but are hard to air seal. People have largely forgotten how to use ceramics.

But there are some hazards Id warn you about that preppers find out the hard way.
>pressure differential condensation
You can get condensation inside a storage vesles if it's air tight and the temperature drops. This cycle repeats over and over until absorbent foodstuffs like oats start to rot, the rotting creates a deoxygenated environment, very bad things grow in a deoxygenated environment.
Sometimes you actually want a vessle that's NOT airtight to stop condensation inside it.
