Urban Survival - Long Term Food Storage

Here is a way to hedge against inflation by storing food at today's prices. Purchase Hard Wheat, White Rice, Rolled Oats and Pinto Beans from Costco or Sams Club. Buy mylar bags, oxygen absorbers and 5 gallon food grade plastic buckets. Using a household iron and a straight edge as a backer, seal up your food with a 2000cc oxygen absorber in a mylar bag. This should keep basic food staples like the ones described for 15 or 20 years.

will storing rice in bucket w/absorbers, lid duct taped, w/o mylar work?

[Survive2Day]

@assman255 Checkout the youtube channel delta69alpha.... he did a video showing just that - rice stored in a bucket for several years with no mylar / oxygen absorbers. While it was not scientific, he seemed to think the rice was okay, while a bit oxidized... He didn't use duct tape. also, I imagine it has to be pretty dry, as moisture will someone get in through the air...

I fell asleep 3 times....there should be a 5 minute limit for videos. I mean, thanks for all everybody does.....but geeeeezzzzz.......get to the point!

@jammin2marley eat shit stupid! there are a billion other vids for you and you short attn span to watch and leave negative comments on...drink your floride and eat your prozac

[ronbland123]

could you use a vacum sealer with the mylar bags?

[29render]

very nice...thanks!

get 5mil mylar bags, most places sell 3mil & 5 mil. mil is the thickness...great vid!

[prplehrt17]

funny how the companies selling the absorbers don't tell you to quickly use them or they will go bad, learned the hard way :(

[BizarroIsNo123]

you should seal all of them almost all the way leaving enough room to just drop the oxygen absorber into the bags and that way you can close just a small corner and not the entire thing.

There is an economic collapse coming but what do you know about Jesus Christ?

[archuka1]

I would think with everything sealed up good and absorbors, that any type of bucket would be good for storage or am i wrong here ??

Dry Ice gives of Carbon Dioxide(CO2) which displaces Oxygen(O2), as does Nitrogen(N2).

If you put Oxygen Absorbers in a pot and dry ice in a strainer on the pot, then the CO2 will keep O2 out of the pot, until you need the O2Absorber.

You can use CO2 or N2 to flush O2 from bulk package while you fill mylar bags, and another dry ice in a strainer on top of the bag during processing to keep O2 flushed out of product.
