I discuss how I decided on Thrive Food for my family's longterm an...

CaptSyn commented:

I wasn't impressed with Thrive products. We opened every can we had to repackage them into smaller amounts. Out of the 18 cans we have, only 1 was full to the top. The rest were literally half empty. We won't be wasting money on their products again. I brought up the issue with Thrive and they co...

redneck food storage

This is the no mylar and o2 absorbers technique. Its a theory, seems to work for what I store.

beast12101 • 9,082 views

CaptSyn commented:

Interesting method. I use mylar liners with homer buckets and oxygen absorbers. A little more expensive than your method, but then I've got the permanent storage space for longer term storage.

I use the liners to prevent any problems from the orange dye used in the homer buckets, even though the...

@gwynn1975 I picked up a couple 2 inch ID O-rings, 1/8 inch thick, today at a little country hardware store. They seal the H2JO very well. I placed one under it and one above. They both stay in place when the parts are unscrewed but can be shaken out, so I think they will do nicely. Cost was onl...

guyotchannel • 8,173 views

CaptSyn commented:

You should know that the 38oz Nalgene branded bottle does not work with existing plastic Nalgene parts. The threads on your bottle are way too different for lids and such to make a seal. It's a great bottle otherwise.

Thanks. I've got a Tramontina 18 inch blade. Since watching this video set, I've made the same mods, with the exception of the compound grind.
