Food storage results part 3

man ur confusing get to the point

[luvUtube247]

MMMM extra protein...lol

[videokid001]

Does anyone know of any dvd's or books with this sort of preparation information?

my new years resolution is to prepare alot more as i dont have any food for LTS : (

so any books or dvd's that are recommended? Cheers

[Anothercoilgun]

Will effect barter but not cooking and eating. Just more protein.

Bugs are good protien, eat 'em up

[RecurveBow1983]

if i store it in the bags it comes in i get mine in 10 pound thick plastic bags will that work?

[delta69alpha]

Not for LTS, for short term (few months) it will. These films showed that just in buckets with sealed lids will fail.

[pdsavage]

cook it up and feed it to chickens or some other animal...

[rkytk]

In Oregon, they say that the worm is part of the fruit. Before eating unsprayed cherries, I was told to submerge the fruit in a bucket of water. The bugs float to the top and can be removed. The same might work for the rice in an emergency. If, in the middle of a volcanic winter, you open the rice and see those little bugs, think of them as protein and add a bit more spice to the cooking pot. These videos constitute an excellent survival handbook. Thank you for the effort.

[CommanderBubba]

Have you tried vacuum sealing (seal a meal etc.) rice for long term storage and did it work?

[delta69alpha]

Yes,its nice and yellow now.Been in a sealed bag for over 6 years now.

Mylar is the way to go if your gonna store for long term ,

[CommanderUTube]

Where did the bugs come from if the container was sealed?

[delta69alpha]

Over time, the buckets aren't 100% air tight. There may have also been bugs already there when it was bought (eggs) and with plenty of air etc over time they hatched.That is why with any LTS you should use mylar bags and o2 absorbers.

[CommanderUTube]

Thanks. That's useful info.

[WurledPeas]

@delta69alpha My wife's family are Asian and grow rice. Weevils are just part of the scenery. The eggs were likely in the rice to begin with and for whatever reason they just didn't hatch for a while just as you said. I have had the same thing happen with noodles.

I look at bugs as bonus protein.

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]

zombies? how bout warewolfs and vampires

[mmmbad]

Hi Bob, I really love your videos. On one particular food storage web site, they warn against using mylar bags. They say that the mylar breaks down into formaldehyde after awhile. I'm of two minds regarding the mylar, but I don't want my food to get buggy. Have you heard anything about this? Thanks!

[delta69alpha]

MM, If that was the case then why would such companies such as EE,Walton,honeyville etc all use them?

There are different grades if mylar, some food grade ,some not food grade.

It would also be wise to see the time frame it takes for a mylar bag to break down into formaldehyde.If i recall its a VERY long time.

Bob

[mmmbad]

Thanks for your reply, Bob. I'll look into good quality food grade mylar bags.

[AndrewXAnarchy]

How did the bugs get in there?

[gijoegotogo]

i have a theory , i live in Alabama and an out side metal shed will easly get to over 200 degrees inside temp, that high of temp killed the bugs and/or eggs. since the inside temp of your home never got hot enough to kill the eggs =bugs.

[TheCassandraReview]

I just posted a video to you what happened to my 1999 rice. I inspected everything and didn't find any bugs. In fact I opened a pack to check to see your termite bug but not there.

I don't know if the freezing helped.. I can't for the life of me remember the freeze time I think it was 72 hours.

I got discoloration as well, If I have to trade or give away rice I'm using this one 1st.

[delta69alpha]

The rice showed in this line of movies was not frozen. The batch that we ran through the freeze movies was for frozen for 3-4 days and it killed all the bugs.

[SPCkeith]

If stored in buckets will i be fine? Like if the buckets are bug proof? I mean will the bugs just appear in there? Or do they migrate in? thanks

[delta69alpha]

No, the buckets are not bug proof. The bug eggs are already in the grains or they will find a way in over time . The rice shown was in buckets with decent seals and still got bugs.

[4evrMT]

Great vid. You have a great public service. Thanks.

[yogiudo]

hey no problem w/ bugs - extra protien!

just gotta cook em up.

[MrBOOCH]

don't fret it too much. put the rice in a cast iron pot or dutch oven with sawdust and heat it slowly on hot coals for about an hour and then re-seal in a container. when ready to use, just make sure you make yourself a sifting screen and sift out the sawdust. and BINGO, good to go. i got this info from my grandpa that grew up in the depression.

[jonrbbar]

good grief bugs! lmao. I love your guys' videos. Thanks for making them.

[SunnyDaysRFun]

dude, you are way long winded.

[pyronaft]

checked every two monts, lid open lid on, lid open lid on for 5 years. lots of air contaminated with fungus spores comes in.

you can also dry your grains with silicagel (labquality)+freeze it for some weeks+filling the bucket with argon.

[rebelyellshooter]

Great Video. The info is excellent. Thanks, Guns do Help!

[jonrober333]

Thanks for the video... look forward to more!

[mortal780]

Isn't it more likely to introduce bugs during periods of opening and closing? And couldn't this happen even if it was mylar wrapped?

[delta69alpha]

mortal if this rice was stored with mylars and o2 's it wouldnt have bugs in my opinion. Could bugs have been introduced, maybe. I can not say for sure. either way this was a shortterm storage item and wasnt bagged or o2'd.

[ArboriusOwns]

Couldn't you freeze it to kill the bugs or at the very least you could compost it.

[delta69alpha]

could compost it or as i said we will more than likely pass it on to the livestock. But stay tuned we may put the "freeze the bugs theory" to test here soon....... Bob

[ArboriusOwns]

Lol yeah I posted my comment before you mentioned the livestock.

[delta69alpha]

no problem. it's an option for sure if you were not comfortable with eating it.

Bob

[beast12101]

Are the bugs really that bad, besides slowly eating your rice. They wont hurt you will they? You dont want bugs but if it happens you arent totally screwed are you?

[delta69alpha]

true, really bad event, and we needed this , like i said in the movie we could pre-wash the rice prior to cooking. So you really arent hurt to bad. BUT if the container is at fault you run the chance of infesting other food items close by. When i found the bad "jug" the bugs were all over the outside of two jugs. one jug was fine, one was infested due to a bad seal on the lid.

[rebelyellshooter]

Yea, 10 min. after a fly lands on you'r meat, A Maggot is born. This is serious shit. Be carefull beast12101..

[beast12101]

sure but meat and flour/rice bugs are abit different.

[Milkman12114]

You just infested your other bucket.

[delta69alpha]

yip ,infested an empty bucket and when this rice is tossed or rotated out to the livestock, i'll just wash the bucket out. pretty simple really. ;)

Excellent job guys.....good information
