the egg in the eggnoodles will go bad and mold......even in a mylar bag . bexarprepper has a vid about eggnoodles in mylar , after 1 year they went bad . anyway good vid

"Stand your ground".. good for you. I'm also doing the same thing. I don't live in the city and I'm across the street from a major lake with lots of storage area so I'm not leaving..

If you want to save more space and eat a whole lot healthier, buy a pasta machine and the attachments and make your own pasta out of the wheat I hope you have stored. There is NO nutrition in store bought pasta. Wesson oil!!!! Toxic man!!! Use coconut oil, lard or olive oil---please! Thanks for the video.

you mentioned your grandmother. All old timers had thier stories of the depression. My grandfather siad they sold eggs. Eggs was thier only income. When they had no money for food, the only thing they had to eat was the eggs they could not sell. So, with no money for other food, no way to raise a garden because of the drought, they lived on eggs, every meal, for a year and a half! Morning noon and night, nothing but eggs. When they could finally get some other food, he never wanted an egg again.

Nice vid, is the first intro music from the game Ricochet? I''m lookin into getting a bunch of thsoe lids. Very usefull. Cheers.

[TheSpartanReserve]

the bugging out strategy is the only one some folks have, for instance, lets say you are a prepper that lodges in a shared house or any manner of other types of living, for lots of folks options are limited, however i agree with the vid, any that can batton down the hatches where they are and ride out the storm are wise to do so imho.

antioine dufour great guitar player, good taste in music! god bless

[okieprepper]

@cooncat46 That's actually Andy McKee's playing in this video, but I do use Antionie Dufour in my other videos in fact he is my favorite guitar player. Thanks for the comment.

[heirloomessentials]

Make sure you use it and rotate it. That way nothing goes to waste and you're sure you're stocking things your family will really eat. Good job!

[1994buttons]

Your oxygen absorbers are probably no good if you left them open??

[okieprepper]

@1994buttons I opened the sealed bag they came in, used them as directed and disposed of the ones I did not use. I don't know if that answers your comment because your question is somewhat vague.

[lildrestl3]

Egg Noodles don't last as long as Spag.. Spag. has no eggs in them.

[ningram4]

You should eat out of your food storage,  and replace stuff, that is called food storage rotation.

Good video! THanks. Anthony.

I don't think you need to think about this too much. I've used white bin liners for brewing malt apportioned at 7lb per bag. The bags were closed by twisting and the 'open' end placed down in the bucket, a rubber lid topped it off. Poor storage makes brewing malt go slack and this can occur in a few months. After four years I returned to my malt stored outside to find neither had it been eaten by mice or rats and after brewing it showed that no slackness had occured.

DOLLAR GENERAL CORN & GREEN BEANS 2 FOR 1 DOLLAR, USE $5 DOLLARS OFF $25 PURCHASE MAKES THEM EVEN LESS.

[okieprepper]

@whittle4u That reads like an advertisement! Thanks for the hot tip. :)

Have you checked the zip lock mylar bags after they have sat around for a few months or longer; to see if they remained vacuum sealed?

I like the zip lock design but have been afraid to try them. I have been using the heat sealed type for some time and havent had any leaks.

One more question: Can you reseal/reuse the zip lock bags? IE; can you open a bag, remove part of the contents, add new oxygen absorbers and reseal the same bag?

Thanks for making/sharing these videos

[tinsnanna]

were you get the zip locks? thank 4 the ur videos suded :)

[okieprepper]

@gatekeeper1006 Yep you can reseal them just like a regular ziplock bag, that's the main reason I use them. All of my bags are keeping their vacuum.

[Kashmir2000is]

@gatekeeper1006 Don't be afraid to use them, if you haven't already started to. They are great.

We like to store maccoroni because it seems to expand more during cooking, is easier to cook in a small quanities in a smaller pot (speg. noodles will have to be broken) and seems more versitile in different dishes for us. Great video.

[tigergirl205]

Once oxygen absorbers have been exposed to oxygen for more than I think 10-20 min they are no longer good. You have to use them all when you open the package.

[okieprepper]

@tigergirl205 Re-vacuum seal them or zip lock.

[vonhismean]

French bugout. Oklahomans stand there ground. Amazing how similar our food supplies look I shop at Sams aswell.

[okieprepper]

@vonhismean Right on brother, C'est La Vie!

[TribulationWarrior]

Thanks for posting. I have been using plastic cranberry juice containers to store a lot of dried food in. Beans ,rice, oats ect. They are kinda square and so are stackable into a small space. Do you know of any drawbacks to this method that I should be aware of?

[okieprepper]

@TribulationWarrior If these containers you're using have the same mil thickness of a milk jug then to problems are infinite. But if they are the thicker ones used in quality OJ then you'll have better success in the long term. The most important thing you can do for your particular choice of containers is store them in a cool, dry, dark environment and add oxygen absorbers to help prevent condensation from forming which would lead to bacterial growth inside the container. Hope this helps.

[okieprepper]

@okieprepper Also beware that oxygen absorbers deplete the air in your containers and cause a vacuum effect. So if you have those containers with the thin plastic walls you might see them cave in on themselves. I've seen 5gal bucket that began to cave in from this, but they didn't lose their seal. A thin container might though.
