[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2318637, member: 1242"] Actually, vacuum packing and DE have both come under fire lately as less than optimal ways to store food long term. Studies have shown that the plastic packaging is O2 permeable. Mylar and O2 absorbers are a much, much better choice, although I suppose that you could vacuum seal the mylar with the absorbers. If you are gonna store food in plastic buckets, seal it in mylar first, then store the mylar in the bucket. I've seen several posts on survival boards where folks have used DE and then opened containers to find bugs ... Again, O2 absorbers will make the container completely inhospitable to bugs, etc. Like most things in life, I'm sure results vary from person to person due to variances in skill and care taken. But forewarned is forearmed ... [/QUOTE]
