  • Today I'm prepping some long term food storage. I'll be using 1 gallon mylar bags, standard lunch bags and 300cc oxygen obsorbers and using a standard "food saver" style vacuum sealer.

    Would the paper bag break down after 20 years or does it hold up since there is no air?

      If you did a proper seal on it I would think it would last quite a while, but since I haven't had one on the shelf for 20 years I couldn't say for sure

    Could you please tell me what brand sealer you are using, mine won't get hot enough to seal a mylar bag. Tganks!

      Heat sealer that came with my freeze dryer not powerful. Bought skinny flat iron for less than $20, works great even on 9.5 ml mylar bags.

    Arent you supposed to use only one method? Either oxi absorber or vacuum sealing ? Not both.

    • @MikeJrOfficial
      @MikeJrOfficial  2 роки тому +1

      How could both hurt? I don't know about "supposed to" but most people only do one or the other

      For foods requiring maximum oxygen removal, doing both is quite acceptable.

      I wouldn't know but I check them regularly and they're holding. I have no reason to believe they wouldn't last 20 years

      @@The_Healing_Facilitator no, but thicker bags are preferred. Make sure you use a good heat sealer on the bags though. The standard vacuum sealer at Walmart will not heat up enough to get a permanent seal on the bags
