@Dryadwoods Lots of assumptions on your part, most of them false. Most food packaging is not done in a "sterile" environment. Basic cleanliness is all that's required. If you have doubts, take a tour of a commercial cannery or dry pack food processing plant. Further, the PURPOSE of the 02 absorber is to prevent the growth of bacteria, no oxygen = no life. Beans don't have a "shell" and neither does rice, wheat, pasta, legumes, etc.all of which are dry canned in "less than sterile" conditions.

a lot of those "sidekicks" need milk. where are you going to get milk after SHTF??
-
why don't you put the cut on the top of bag, then put in the oxygen absorber, then vacuum seal it.
-
on amazon they now have actual Mylar bags that come with absorbers its 60 but you could easily fit your own dried food or more than one of these cheap side pasta mixes in you get like 30 bags as well so its about the same price but way more food.

That's way to much
-
@TheLawClerk or if you're that worried about it, get a vacuum sealer. Less cheap but more secure.

Duct tape is not an oxygen barrier. Do you worry that because the integrity of the package has been compromised, you have actually shortened the shelf life of the food?
TheLawClerk 4 months ago
@TheLawClerk Duct tape is indeed - technically - "gas permeable", but generally less so than the food packaging material itself. So, if you are worried about the tape, you should worry more about the packaging in the first place. This method REDUCES the available oxygen to less than what was in the bag in the first place.

@ZombieTactics Could you point me to the study, literature, source which shows that packaging material is more "gas permeable" than duct tape? I can't believe that the method you recommend will preserve food for the four year time that you claim.
TheLawClerk 4 months ago
@TheLawClerk Rather than an extended back-n-forth in a forum not well suited for such conversations, I'd simple recommend that you not follow any advice of mine you think is questionable. The technique in question is one I've used and tested for a couple of decades, and works quite well.

@ZombieTactics I just cringe when people are giving out advice that can directly impact one's health/life. The way you are presenting your opinion, as fact, is misleading to those who don't know better or can't do the research. I like your videos and am a subscriber, not trying to cause conflict. However, what you are stating as fact (duct tape and packaging materials) is not fact, nor supported by research (see BYU and LDS studies available on the web).

@TheLawClerk I go with what I know works, and I find that a lot of so-called "reasearch" is based upon a lowest-common denominator understanding. Few people analyze STSTEMS, and draw their conclusions based upon isolated examples or perfect cases. I am comfortable with being an iconoclast, as I work in an industry where I get paid to explain things to people with PhDs. No drama is necessary, go with whatever you think is right.

@ZombieTactics I'd further offer that I have regular access to lab equipment (O2 trace analyzers, etc.) and that at no time have I ever observed/tested a greater amount of oxygen in a package prepared as I suggest than the original package had in the first place. I find that conclusive in nature, but you are free to be of whatever opinion you like.
