Storing food in mylar bags

[frozentootsiepop]

Do you use 3.5 mil or 4.5 mil Mylar bags?

[scablematic]

where did you get the different size zip lock mylar bags from?

[chuckbyf1]

Don't forget to feed the weevils

[playdrums]

Watched the whole vid of basic shit everyone knows, just to see the ironing of the seam part, which I don't know about. And you cut the video off.....Thanks....So did it work or not with a household iron??

[scablematic]

where did you get them bags from????

[dixieunited]

this my sound like a stupid question but why use mylar and not plastic food save style bags?

[chuckbyf1]

@dixieunited Mylar blocks all light and is a little tougher then the foodsavers. Some people use both. Seal em in mylar and put that in a food saver. Most people mylar then buckets.

[dixieunited]

@chuckbyf1 thank you that makes sense...

[youmantube22]

yea i store my weed in similar bags. Keeps it nice and fresh until i need it:)

[kornphr34k]

good video. thank you for sharing

[psycofloyd]

Kev, bro, that stuff ain't food man.

[mediamaker2000]

OMG! At 2:23 in the video - in the upper left hand corner of the bag looks like a face screaming to get out!

[Denomolise]

what is a good website to order these bags?

[cowboysaver1971]

hey kev, where do you get the mylar bags from and how much are they ?

[OurTimeIsOut]

I was told to freeze the rice first to kill of the buggers.

[acv2s]

@OurTimeIsOut I usually freeze for a couple of days, unfreeze for a day or two, freeze again and after that, I let it sweat it out, and finally store.

[mattandpatti222]

I don't know. I used mylar with O2 on cereal, nuts, and they all were bad after I checked them out a few months later?

[hogkillerjp]

thanks for the great video,always learn from your vids.

[chopperboi89]

I've heard you can use one of those "Food Saver" sealers on Mylar bags and it will pull the air out, and give a great seal on the bags, know anything about that?

[WatchMan815]

300-500 cc o2 absorbers are plenty for 1 gal. bags

[GamingSwe]

I miss your farming videos :/

[Garrisonpea]

I haven't tried those ziplock bags yet, might have to get some of those.

[PatriotPrepper]

Mylar and O2 absorbers are proven technology. They work. KEEP ON PREPPING

[tigersurvival1]

thanks for the fishing & trotline info i hope you have a great week

[happycamper777]

I use an old CO2 paintball tank to blow CO2 into my bags, hopefully displacing O2. Sound good?

[alzathoth]

can you use a vaccuum sealer with mylar bags?

[Machi74005]

Will you be rotating your stock and using directly from that mylar stored source ongoing or will it be set back strictly for long term use in emergencies only?

[DrunknName]

question for ya. Can you do a video of things you would store to go with the items you stored in this video like your kids and things wouldnt eat just plain oats all the time or plain rice what else do you store to go with these things?

[blankthree]

walmart, the preppers food house. how about a food saver vacume packer to draw out the air and seal the bags.

[gasdorf]

do weevils have peckers ?

[blankthree]

walmart, the preppers food house.

[adaman04]

Great video Kevin!

[Bkgbakon7]

I use a hair straightener to seal...very fast

[RAMKING61]

This might be the most important video you've ever made.

[watuwaitn4]

Quick question: After you open the regular mylar bag, can you repack and reuse/reseal the bag again?

[znotzelda]

Well at least in the bag it was just the lesser of two weevils.

[agun17]

You could freeze the bags after sealing them if you are really concerned about bugs in the food.

[kumquatsta]

expected self life?

[survivalistboards]

@angie7dino - if stored in say a 70 - 80 degree temp range, rice should stay good for 20+ years.

[ViciousRanger]

@survivalistboards

Great video, just two questions though:

A) Which website if any, do you recommend for Mylar bags?

B) Any tips for killing the insects in food, or is being oxygen depraved good enough?

[DrunknName]

@ViciousRanger the website he talks about is in the video for mylar bags and as for the bugs no oxygen no life.

[tracycolorado]

it has been reported to kill insect infinstation and their eggs , you freeze the product for thirty days , let it thaw for three days , freeze it for thirty days , then you seal it with an oxygen absorber

[manofreedom]

can you use a vacuum sealer on mylar the same way you can on the plastic bags as with a "food saver"????

[fetch33]

@manofreedom

Do a search on youtube for that. You can do it but it involves using a regular vacuum sealer bag as the mylar doesn't have the air channels needed to get the vacuum.

[VaperSteve1975]

Good job buddy! Keep up the good work!

[etekballer14]

i have the exact same iron as you.

[MYAR15SaysImFree]

i just did 10 5gal buckets of rice and wheat yesterday. I got 20 1 gal bags left. got some pinto beans to do tomorrow maybe

good vid. those ziplock bags seam easier to seal then the regular bags i have.

[AnnBearForFreedom]

I'll be interested in seeing how the buggy rice fares. S'pose it depends on how long the bugs can survive in a very low-oxygen environment. So yeah, I'm looking forward to a 2, 3, 4...6 month check in on that bag. Keep us posted!
