The Preparedness Podcast – Episode 102 – Repacking for Food Storage, Part 2

Last podcast, I started a small series on Repacking for Food Storage, where I talked about what my goals were and how I was increasing my food storage and how I was going to go about doing that, specifically, in how I was going to repack the bulk foods that I’ve purchased.

In this part, I continue my discussion on the issues I’ve been having with various aspects of repacking food, including issues with mylar bags and old O2 absorbers.  Discussing the various aspects of using Mylar and Foodsaver bags for food storage and giving tips for using both.

Food storage should be an important part to your preparations, but from experience, I know that this can be one of the more challenging aspects to getting prepared.  By sharing the errors and successes I’ve experienced, I’m hoping to spare you the time and expense of making the same mistakes I have.

One of the things I did was to transfer the Morning Moo (milk) that I bought into mylar bags and reseal it in the same bucket.  These types of tasks, including doing inventory and inspection on your food, is hard work, but it’s worth it.

The Preparedness Podcast – Episode 101 – Repacking for Food Storage, Part 1

Up until recently, most of my food storage has been of the “pantry” storage type.  Meaning, most of the foods that we eat on a regular basis bought from the grocery store. We have some long term storage foods in our storage plan, but recently, and for obvious reasons, I’ve started to increase these. I had some specific ideas on how I wanted to repack some of this food, but it didn’t go the way I had hoped.

Up to now, all of the long term food items that I had were packed in cans, most of them factory sealed. This time, I’ve decided to buy bulk food and repackage it myself in order to take advantage of lower costs and stretch my food budget. While I started my plan of increasing what I had, the first step was really to take an inventory of what I had. During this inventory, I opened a couple of cans and was surprised on what I found. Let’s just say that you should plan on storing more than you think you need.

Anyway, this is part one of the three part series on Repacking for Food Storage.
