I have often wondered what all the hoolpah was about with the "food grade" buckets if you were putting the stuff in mylars anyway. Glad you pointed that out.
I just bucket packed a bunch of stuff from the LDS cannery (Im not mormon) in buckets from Lowes. These were 2.36 each. They are dark grey and non light penetrating. I lined them with a 10 gallon zip lock jumbo bag which is food grade and pushed all the air out of them. Did the same a year ago with feed wheat and dent corn from the feed store, I used a jumbo oxygen absorber and checked them yesterday, they actually pulled a vaccum when opened! They looked great and I am not worried!
If you are worried about food grade plastic. Just went to Home Depot #2 HDPE on the btm. Bucket and lid with gasket $3.46 each tax included. Most people could afford to buy one a week. It would't take long to have enough for your preps.
I for one am sick of seeing people's cheap preps. For instance, I went over to one persons house and he had a survival knife made out of some sort of China steal that he bought new from a Dollar General store for 3 dollars. He thought this was a great deal and said it was just as good as a 100 dollar knife when in reality this knife would not last more than a couple of days in a real survival situation. I believe you need to spend more to get more, just my 2 cents.
Perfectly Said. Damn right, your going to do what you have to do in a bad situation. It's just like if you were in the middle of the desert and you didnt have anything to drink. Drinking your own urine will keep you alive a little longer. Who gives a shit, you got to do what you gotta do to keep you alive.
hum. I got rid of the old number 5 water bottles because I read up on BPA. I would use none food grade buckets but id line it with some thing safe. hell even news paper might work. I believe bpa was put into plastic as a soft kill. Population control. If im starving ill eat anything and wouldn't care but i'm not right now so i try to prep bpa free. (I've failed so far being I found out the 200 cans of food I got have BPA in them). It's the fact I don't trust when the gov says BPA is Safe.
How much of your own food do you produce? I have worked at food processing plants and I can tell you if you buy food that other people (insert illegal immigrants here) produce you are eating much worse than bpa. It's okay to try to stay bpa free but jumping in the bandwagon for every scare tactic news story doesn't take into account all the horrible stuff you put into your body that the news doesn't talk about. Grow your own or bpa is the least you need to worry about.
Me like most don't produce most of my food. I do garden and grow veggies but not enough. My biggest crops are hydroponic. When you talk about processing plants are you talking about meat? I've watched food inc and about GMO foods so I know they are bad. I know the crops in mexico are watered with human waste. I don't think I am jumping on the bandwagon. Just looking at the facts. I think if some one has no choice it's better to prep with bpa then not prep at all. I don't want to c ppl starve.
Fuck it, man. I chew tabacco, drink beer, eat things high in cholesteral, but you know what, I enjoy my life. So eat my shit hippees! Oh, nevermind, it's not "food grade".
Do what you can is the best advice yet. If someone can only afford to put away a couple of bags of rice and some tuna.... well... that's a whole lot better than eating dirt. There is nothing wrong with starting off small and put away 20 bucks worth of stuff away a month. No one needs to buy from special suppliers. No one needs to spend obscene amounts of money. They just need to do the best they can.
All you need to A-1 Steak Sauce and a water filter.
A cheaper way to obtain bulk food is to get it at a bulkfood store. The bags they have keep it good (store it in a dry, cooler place and away from rats/mice).
fuck yeah, if i'm starving/thirsty i'm gonna eat/drink it too! stupid pc people...God forbid you should brush your teeth with baking soda, it's flouride free, but scratches enamel off...the pooor shall inherit the earth!
I commented in one of your other videos about grocery store bakeries and dairy queen & even Mickey D and Burger King giving away FREE FOOD GRADE buckets that used to contain pickles, strawberries or icings. They are glad to GIVE THEM AWAY FREE. We have not had to buy the first bucket.
It would SUCK to get the SCOURS eating something that leeched chemicals. Elderly people (mom) and even kids would be EZ to get sick from this. You don't have to be rich to get ..
Well if plastic is thay bad millions would be dead from chewing on non food grade ink pens... I have been by mcdonnalds and there have not been any pickle buckets to be had
We get our main supply of FOOD GRADE buckets from Albertsons Bakery. Each time we are in there we walk over to the bakery and ask. They usually have 2 or 3 with great lids. One time we hit the mother load and got 10 with lids that have great seals absolutely FREE. We are poor and like to save money everywhere we can.
Dont giv up so quick... I said if you can get the food grade stuff fine but if you cant do not sweat the plastic thing, besides all food products that ever showed any leaching from BPA plastic were liquids... Would it be ok with you if I used the home depot bucket as a toilet? By the way the simble on bottom of orange bucket says it is a food grade plastic
you got to make a few friends around town then DS . burgerking usually has a shit load of buckets for some reason vs McD . get flirty with the grocery store and donut shop workers too (especialy late night donut shops,night shift people will give you their soul if you empty their garbage once or twice
I agree Dave. If you have the money for Mylar bags then fine, but if not, then a clean 55 gallon barrel with a 55 gallon trash bag liner will be OK too.
LOL! The really funny thing is that these are the same people who will be drinking out of puddles and toilets after TSHTFcuz they didn't put back enough "spring" water!! :)
I tend to like people who can make their own instead of buy someone elses stuff. Homemade usually doesn't look like store bought, but they show someone who has learned that old saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention." Without imagination and the ability to "make due" a person isn't going to survive a hardship where the day doesn't go exactly as it is suppose to.
I Agree! people put too much stock in name brand products and how things are "suppost to be done". almost any device, tool, or what ever can be made or improvied for a temporary or permanent solution to your problem. people should think of -how- they can fix their problem instead of what they can -buy- to fix it. 5*s
your great Dave, you call a spade a spade. lol. wish there were more than 5 stars to give you! - maybe youtube has another 5 stars tucked away in mylar somewhere...you can have those to. anyways, the phrase 'politically correct' is rather ironic dont you think? haha
I agree! I save old Folgers plastic coffee containers, they work great, and make my stuff taste like coffee. People pay good money to get that taste too. Win win.
Amen brother... I put a whole bunch of rice in buckets I got from a restaurant, (Used to have pickles in them) (No mylar either). The rice has a tiny bit of dill flavor to it now.... Tastes pretty good!!! LOL
Who cares, We know what you look like and you'll eventually get hatemail and beaten up, so shut your cock hole and live with it!
