Vacuum Seal a Mason Jar with a Handcrank Pump - Food Storage SHTF Survival Prep

How to seal a mason jar WITHOUT an electric vacuum sealer.

I didnt need a big expensive Foodsaver Electric Vacuum Sealer. This automotive vacuum pump and wide mouth mason jar sealer works well for the one thing i need it for... sealing food for storage in glass jars.

This is also good for disaster prep and SHTF food storage that works even when the electricity goes out.

were those tomatoes..how did you dry them?

[BubbleBeet]

@jedijohnny yep, those are Roma tomatoes. I bought the smallest Excalibur dehydrator - Model 2400. It fits 32 large Roma tomatoes so the small size doesnt matter. I like the small size because i can fill it in the kitchen then pick it up and run it in a different room. Its also easy to store in a closet when not in use. I got it from John Kohler's(the growingyourgreens guy) website discountjuicers dotcom for $105 - i found a coupon for $5 off - one word all caps: SAVEFIVE

Cool tip, thanks. kind of funny how some things when you see them make you feel like, I should have known that.

@woodturningjohn Thanks. It was a relief to find out a tool i had sitting in the garage could seal the jars. I didnt need the plastic bag feature of a big $100+ electric vacuum sealer so it seemed like a waste to buy one just for mason jars.

Nice video bubble..might have to try that...how long does it keep things preserved???

[BubbleBeet]

@flyguy1725 Thanks. From what ive read removing the air can keep food fresh 3 to 5 times as long.

creative

That is one heck of a good idea. Especially if you had no power. Thank you!

A real refrigeration style vacuum pump will pull a vacuum far better and far, far, far easier.

harbor freight has them for about $100.. a real pump will actually remove water.. the air you are still leaving is 20% oxygen, you know.... a real pump will peg that needle...

that looks more like a penis pump...
