there's been a lot of questions about sealing mylar bags on a blog that I
frequent and that blog is survivalist blog.com it's run by MD Creekmore so I'm
gonna do a little video of how I seal mylar bags
there's my bucket and the dog there's my mylar bag and in a second I'm
going to show you my hi-tech mylar bag sealing tool okay there's my hi-tech
mylar bag sealing tool right there it's just a piece of plywood with a 1 by 2
nail to it and I earn my o2 absorbers the lid and I've got about here's the
top of the bucket here where my thumb is that's about four inches of headspace
because once you seal this bag you got to fold it all down in there put the lid
on and I throw an o2 absorber on the outside too just to be absolutely
certain the oxygen that's been absorbed okay I'm going to show you how to seal
what am I Oh two absorbers were ruined so I got a hot hands which is the exact
same things actually better take some throw that in there
I've got my board here I've got my iron and let's go to Sealy we want to be sure
you get all the wrinkles out there's a little oxygen around that now I'm going
to cut the excess off
and I'm gonna let this sit overnight and uh that Oh to absorber will absorb the
oxygen and this will suck all down in there roman beans and then I'll throw
another one on top of it put the lid on it and it'll suck the lydian into it and
I make show you that tomorrow well it's been uh just a couple hours since I put
the o2 absorbers in here and it's just got almost all the air pulled pulled out
of it and I can still feel the o2 absorbers are warm so they're still
working so I'm gonna put the lid on this I'm gonna put another o2 absorber on the
top put the lid on it seal it and on top of the lid I'll write the date what it
is and the date and if you have any questions feel free to ask all I'm no
expert in food storage but I've got some that I opened recently that I stored a
few years ago as a matter of fact rice and beans right there so they're good I
mean they're still good you know anyway if I can answer any questions just ask
them in the comment section thanks for watching
