How good is mylar what is the longest item you can keep in mylar? Like grain or rice for example? Do you have to do something special to the white rice from the store to make it keep?

With out special tampering, what like 10 years?

I think it depends on what you store, should be 20-30 years for beans and rice, but with the SHTF crap creeping up on us, don't think you will have to wait that long.
It looks like Mountain House Foods meat items only store for 5-8 years.
Looks like the Tenn guy who posted here has an ebay- 50 1 gal mylars+ oxy absorbers for 25.00 shipped.
whats better mylar or #10?

I just bought 10, 5 gal 4.3 mil Bags with 2000 cc absorbers and 60, 1.5 gal 3.5 mil bags with 300cc absorbers off of Amazon for a shipped total of about $40. Just thought that I would throw that out there.
Also looking into vaccum sealing Mylar bags like the other posts, I talked to some LDS sales people and they said that it is not recommended for most mylar bags because it can actually increase the oxygen transfer over time. They said that the best thing is get all the air out you can and use plenty of the o2 absorbers. They also said that the bags are less prone to puncture that way.
I am just getting my stash all started, so I am still trying to get everything figured out so has anyone else heard this? It makes sense and saves me some time and money so I am not opposed to it.
Any other advice out there for those of us just getting started? Thanks in advance.
A #10 always but I look at it this way. many common items can be put up for 1/3-1/4 the cost of buying it in a #10 can.That is what I started with years ago. I switched to 5.5 mil bags right after that.1.5 gal 3.5 mil bags

Is anyone drying their own meat? How long do they expect it to last? Like Turkey, ground beef?
