    First the excuse, I had to order some Oxy absorbers. Ok, I dragged my rear on sealing up my dried grains and now I have weavels. How do I get rid of them out of the food? I read somewhere to put the food in the freezer to kill em off, but won't the grain sweat & mold when I take it out of the...

A friend of mine placed his possessions in storage in a hurry in 1999, left the state, and did not arrange for anyone to maintain them. He...

    Hello all, This is my first post on this forum. When I dehydrate some fruit and veggies, how can i store them without canning? Here're my thoughts: 1. put dehydrated food in a ziplock freezer bag with a 100cc oxygen absorber. 2. put that bag in a mylar bag (to block light) with another 100cc...

    So, has anybody ever vac bagged dried stuff, say, macaroni an cheese, dryed soup mixes, rice dinners, powdered drink mix's, salt, sugar? I would think it should keep longer then two years in good storage that way shouldn't it? Would it help to then pack into buckets and flood them with say...

    I'm relatively new to prepping, and have lurked here for a while. I've started accumulating foodstuffs, and right now I'm packaging beans for LT storage. I've bought them from Aldi; they come in 2-pound bags. I'd really like to store them in those bags, inside Mylar w/ oxygen absorbers...
