  • The nurse is right

    #2 isn't food grade anymore than #1 thru #7 are

    To prove the point mylar bags are #1 PET

  • @YuppiePrepper Again, read and listen to what people are saying.

    1- FDA considers HDPE#2 a suitable plastic for food products( doesnt mean used #2's are safe).

    2- Using any common ,clean,new or HDPE 2 bucket that previously held food is safe for your LTS.

    3- When using Mylars with your LTS, The bucket is nothing more than a container for the food.

    When people look past that, and want to argue small issues ( ex. pet1 mylar bags) it now throws that seed of doubt to new survivalist/preppers.

  • @YuppiePrepper cont- Look how many threads and articles are out about LTS and how to do it on the web. These films were put out nearly 4 years ago. Due to the severe lack of info for newcomers.They are kept basic and to the point. Talking about HDPE 2 was one of those. It is safe to say " make sure you have a clean or new hdpe 2 bucket....." vs " get a plastic bucket.." . That way Jimmy the tard prepper in newjersey doesn't walk over to the mechanics shop, grab a 5 gallon bucket......

  • @YuppiePrepper cont-...that held a caustic degreaser, plop his 5 lbs of rice in it and thinks he is good to go! I mean after all that PAW productions guys just said to use a bucket..they didnt say what kind....

    Use rule #2 below....all is good. Use a new one from HD,LOWES etc,,with mylar g2g. Use one that held acid,motor oil, cleaners...not a good idea, some of those buckets are NOT HDPE2 due to the chemicals they held.

  • These are about 8 yrs old? Leftovers from Y2K Which was overblown. High density poly esterine? Come on. Write a researched script and follow it. Other wise you waste time. Thanks for the correction NurseMeister. I have a feeling this vid needs a lot of correction.

  • @chuckbyf1 thank you for taking the time to tell us how we should do our vids. However, since your channel has zero films about long term storage, or even any preparedness related topics ,that you are just trolling.

  • 5 or 10 properly sealed buckets can go a long way for food security....much cheaper to do them yourself but they do sell them pre-made.......

  • @delta69alpha ...It’s the chemical designation of the type of plastic for RECYCLING ONLY. Food Grade only means that it lacks dyes, antimicrobials, harmful recycled plastic material

    #1 PET = FOOD-GRADE for stuff like carbonated beverages

    #2 HDPE = FOOD-GRADE high density polyethylene good all around plastic

    #3 Vinyl = FOOD-GRADE shrink wrap etc

    Plus 4-more flavors of plastic ALL CAN BE FOOD GRADE

    Not to push, but this is a common mistake, and if you continue the mistake, it becomes a lie!

  • I read that whole grains had oils and stuff that millers discarded for shelf life. read that whole grains start breaking down in 2 months

  • I wonder how to store flour ( so it doesn't get weevils ) I know rice gets better the longer you keep it and pulses get harder the longer you keep them so a stainless steel pressure cooker is a must in my opinion Tins of ghee get better the longer you keep them Ayurvedic doctors say that 100yr old ghee( stored in silver containers ) cures all diseases.

  • They really need to sell oxygen absorbers in lesser quantities. A sixteen pack of oxygen absorbers? By the time you get to the tenth bucket, the remaining oxygen absorbers are petering out, forcing you to buy more just so you can be sure you're getting the benefit of the oxygen absorbers... and wasting the rest of them because you don't need them. Sounds like a scam is being run on preppers here to me with these things.

  • @YuppiePrepper Wow! Re-watch the first 1 minute and actually LISTEN to what I say versus what you thought you heard- "generally considered food grade" is exactly what was said.

  • Great Video Very Informative

    

  • your video is great help thank you! and i have a question for you, how to get the smell out of the glaze/icing buckets from the dounuts shops? i have tried lemon and baking soda, soap and soaking in the sun. anything thing else i can try? thanks

  • @chuckbyf1 A "researched script"- wth over? OK for the SIXTH MILLION TIME, all you need do is go in less than :50 seconds to hear me state clearly- "HDPE 2 is GENERALLY CONSIDERED food grade." "Generally considered" and IT IS.

    Be interested to hear what LONG TERM experience you have in packing and storing food long term? I ran a mid size commercial cannery for 2 years in the late 90's putting up and selling over 1/2 million lbs. of food, been in the industry over 20 years, how about you?

  • So I picked up free buckets at my local deli, but the caps will not tighten on the pale because the strap has been removed. If the cap does not seal on the pale will that shorten the storage time of the food? It will still be sealed in the mylar bag.
