  1. I truly appreciate the advice and information you've offered. Food costs being what they are, I want to make sure I don't mess up the storage of these items. Thanks again all!!!
  2. Greetings to all preparedness enthusiasts! This is my favorite forum, as I love to read all the tips, ideas, and experience people have for preparedness. I have three questions. 1. I was given several 40 and 50 pound sacks of various dry goods (ABC soup mix, flour, rice, etc.) I do not have access to a dry pack canner. However, I do have lots of 5 gallon buckets with lids. I also have mylar bags and a vacuum sealer that can handle the bags. Is it better to fill a bag-lined bucket, toss in some absorbers, vacuum it, and call it good? Or is it better to make smaller bags and then fill the buckets with these? 2. Are there any special or different handling things I need to address when sealing bags or buckets at high altitude (6000')? 1 less absorber, not so much in the bucket, etc? 3. What are some "out of the ordinary" items that you may have dry packed? An example would be a 5 gallon bucket of Frosted Flakes. Thanks for any input and advice you have to offer!! ...
