dry goods in buckets, w or w/o Mylar

[jerrymrc]

For long term Mylar in the bucket is the only way to go. For beans/wheat 02 absorber or the dry-ice works well.

Also...can someone possibly post a picture of an O2 Absorber? Where can I find this item? How big are they?

Are the two I use. And 300cc are like 2.5"X2.5"

Are those gamma lids really worth it? Do they just make opening/closing the buckets easier? Also, any places in the springs for getting wheat or oats in bulk?

Whole foods has or can get you bags of winter wheat berry's. I have been storing popcorn from sam's cub for 2 or 3 years now in the big 5 gallon water bottles. So far looks good. Popcorn makes really good corn bread. and can strech out the wheat flour for less than a third of the price of wheat berry's. $16.?? for 50 lb bag IIRC.

Thanks! I'm going to have to try that, I'm almost addicted to cornbread!

So you will need a grain mill for the popcorn to get it to cornmeal size?

Does anyone have any recipes for any of the whole foods they are storing to aid in rotation?

Yes, you will need a very good grain mill for the hard popcorn. I tried the hand crank grain mill once. Then I sold it and bought a electric one. I have solar power at my mountain hideout.
