The 5 Gallon Bucket Food Storage Project - Part 4-B

This is the next video in the long term food storage bucket project. Today we first take a look at some of the items from the earlier videos which are now vacuum sealed. We then discuss adding Bisquick, Ronzoni whole wheat pasta and Quaker Oats.

This is part 4-B so make sure to watch part 4-A for the first half if you have not already done so.

Jack, Great Video series. Is there a vacuum sealer that you would recommend?  I don't think you mentioned the brand you used in the videos. Care to share? Thanks!

I am using a product called the "snorkel vac" from Safecastle. I like it ok, not in love with the bags it came with though. Just ordered the ones Tammy (dehydrate2store) recommended from DC Enterprises. I will give them a go and bring out the vac sealer in the video series after they get here.

I have had a few of the ones that came with it loose seal just sitting around and not even being touched. I blame the bag though not the vac machine.

I found your 5 Gallon Bucket Project today and have been watching the whole thing through. Great stuff. I've been looking for this exact thing and I'm happy you made it. However...what about the "adjunct storage bin" part? That seams like it should be included, if for nothing more than some suggestions on fats, oils, and canned meat. What about a summation video that discusses the whole system as completed?

Still looking for Part 5...

I agree. Hoping there is a part 5 video.

you could always dehydrate bacon and eggs to bring the fat, and protein.

hey brother.. have you dehydrated bananas/ apples etc... not only can you eat them as chips but grind them up and put them in your water for vitamin waters, put them in oats etc.. easy fast way to drink and get your vitamin c/etc... make trail mix for on the run.. great informative series.. i have couple hundred pounds of food stored dehydrated and air sealed.also , if you live in an area where you have a decent size lot.. plant some fruit trees (dwarf, easy conceal-ability)

Did this series finish as I thought there was the sealing of the buckets and more fat to be added? Anyhow just went to the supermarket and the corned beef has a date of 2015 on it wheras most tinned meat was ok till 2013..

Some Thoughts:

-The Bisquick will go flat in 2-3 years. Still edible but flatbread now vs pancakes.

-A great follow-on would be cooking methods in detail. For severe conditions how about a demo of thermos bottle cooking for energy efficiency?

-Concerns about "loss of nutrition" normally boil down to loss of flavor long before the food becomes inedible or no longer digestible. Acceptance by the eater drives most of these comments. But why add more stress when rotation prevents the problem?

thank you.

Great series. Very well thought out. I didn't see the the video anywhere where you were going to add the seperate adjunct to the buckets to help make up for the fat and protein defincies.
