  • may be you can help me. if i vacuum seal my goods, do i need to use oxygen absorbers as well? or i can put them in the buckets with out there?

  • @echicao This would be a better question for youtuber Katzcradul to answer. Please visit her channel with this question. Good question, please let us know what she said.

  • Thanks for the video. I have been using the ziplock mylar bags but I also heat seal them. Do your mylar bags seal airtight without heat sealing?

  • @DanielSnedden After using the zip seals they begin to wear out and fail. So we only use the zip seals on things we need to rotate like sugar/flour and the things like beans and rice are better served with heat sealing.

  • just a quick ? on the 5 gallon buckets of sugar.if no o2 absorbers are used how did u pack?just a gamma lid?since i have 4 kids and i heard children in your vid, have you stored any koolaid mix just to offset plain water for them?just wondering......awesome videos please keep up the good work

  • @bubbaredneck59 We just expelled the air by hand sealed it up. Some use a straw and suck vacuum the air out of the mylar bag and then seal it. The koolaid would be a great thing to have on hand for the kids. The only problem I see is the amount of sugar it takes to make koolaid sweet enough for kids. You probably better load up on the sugar if you are planning on providing that stuff for the kiddos.
