Ellen sent us 200 of the mylar bags she has for sale, and we tried them out. They are great!
The only thing tricky about them is getting the valve on the plug shut before the air can get back in, but we found out that if you tape part of a vacuum cleaner's flat nozzle attachment with duct tape (not shown in pictures) you can hold it over the valve hole till the air is all vacuumed out, then quickly turn the valve all the way to the right to seal in the vacuum.

I am anxious to see how they will do for long-term seed storage. The recent thread that Lotsoflead had about 5-year-old wheatberries sprouting at 100% germination is awesome! http://www.preparedsociety.com/forum/f36/sprouted-stored-wheat-berries-5663/#post58507
