Thank you very much for that video! I have reopened and thrown away like 20 good oxygen absorbers because I wasn’t getting that tight brick bag look! Oh well, got to expect a little waste in the learning process. I would like to point out something that you all could mention in your next video (that would help us beginners); and that is, that the 300-600 ccs per gallon is not rated for an EMPTY gallon. I thought it was and that was a big part of my problem. Apparently, the actual ccs needed to absorb all the oxygen in an empty gallon bag is 800; 400 for bags containing loosely packed goods; and 300 for tightly packed goods(give or take). I was packing my rice in 2 gallon Mylar bags and NOT filling them completely up. I also assumed that 2 gallons was 2 gallons 🤔. 2 gallons of rice is not the same as 2 gallons of oats by weight. Even without filling the bags to the top, I had packed roughly 17.5 lbs of rice which is actually 2.5 gallons and provided only 2 gallons worth of oxygen absorbers! Whew! I’m glad I made these little mistakes while there was still time. Jesus is coming back soon, but this world is going to go through a lot of hell first and there ain’t gonna be a rapture! God’s people, get ready!

Those “pinholes” are NOT holes! It’s just a spot where the metal coating has worn off. Mylar is actually just a clear plastic, coated in metal. This tiny “pinhole” of lost coating does not affect the functionality of the bag! This information comes directly from the manufacturer.

I think I know why a lot of people have problems with their bags being puffy. I am not impressed with Wallaby bags. I bought them because they were so highly recommended and I think some of them are probably good. Not sure about the ones with the gusset bottoms. I saw one comment on here where someone asked why, if you do the same product at the same time, is one hard and the other soft. I think I have the answer. It is because you have pinhole leaks in your gusset bottom. I went to check on some of my stored beans and rice and so many of them were soft...they were hard when I put them in the storage bin. I redid them, same thing. I happened to hold a gallon gusset bag up to the kitchen light and the bottom seam was barely holding together. I have used over 20 of them and am having to redo 18 bags. Out of the ones I haven't used (7 left) all but 1 were useless. Most had either seams that you could see light through where they barely met or pretty big pin holes. SO...your food may not be that good if your bag is soft. It may have holes in it where air is seeping in. The bags feel thick but I do believe that somehow the gusset bottom is causing major problems for a lot of people and they don't know it. From now on I will be holding every bag up to the light before filling them. This has meant so much extra work and expense.

Yes I packaged 25 (1) gallons. I like to use 600cc for each one. And (2) silica gels for bottom of my Lars. The silicon gels are safe and to keep out moisture. -- anyhow I didn’t see 15 mylar bags sucked all the way so I ordered more air absorbers and RE-packaged them again. When you use the machine to close mylar bags I seal vags 2 times to make sure it’s air tight. Some times you think it’s completely sealed but there’s a tiny tiny tiny hole.

Thank you so much for your video. I did exactly what you said: bought the Wallaby mylar gallon bags; used the 400cc oxygen absorbers; squeezed as much air out as I could and then quickly sealed with a hair straightener. I then decided to buy a vacuum sealer. I'm doing pretty much the same as before, but removing almost all of the air out (with the vacuum sealer) before I finalize the seal with my hair straightener (which I have to do because the seal from the vacuum sealer isn't sturdy enough). The bags are pretty solid at first, but after a day or so (sometimes quicker) the bags are filling with air. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but clearly this method is not working for me. If anybody else is having a similar problem, I'd love to hear how you overcame it. Or if anyone just has any suggestions for me I'd love to hear.

Thanks for a very informative video. I'm just getting started using mylar bags. I've used the Food Saver plastic bags and sealed them with the food saver. I have also used mason jars for accessibility. About 1 1/4 inches must be cut off of the plastic bags to access the inside. Mason jars are accessed by popping the lid off and replacing the lid when done. I see mylar as a more expensive longer-term bag accessed much like the plastic bags. I tried to make a chart telling me when to use what, but, it quickly got complicated (my inexperience). Our goal is to build up a primary stock of food for long-term storage and stock for shorter-term to augment the food we use from our pantry. So it is a 3 fold goal; daily use in the pantry, when replenished from our short term then in an emergency in the long term. My question is how would you recommend what container to use for what? Another is: what about egg noodles, potato chips? Only an oxygen absorber in mylar for them? Keep it up, As I watch your videos I'm more confident because you tell both the good and the bad.

So i ran a sink full of water and dunked all of our mylar bags and squeezed them under water looking for signs of a leak. And there was NO evidence of a bad seal. We used 1gal bags with two 500cc Oxygen absorbers(overkill, i know) but for our first time i went overboard. But i think my bags are puffy because i wasn't focused on squeezing the excess air as my wife sealed them. Thoughts???

I’m glad you mentioned not using oxygen absorbers when storing sugar in Mylar bags as I was intending to try bagging up some sugar. But as I thought about it, I began to wonder if one could use canning jars for long term storage of sugar using either oxygen absorbers or a vacuum sealer with a canning attachment. I assume the sugar gets hard in a Mylar bag because of the pressure created when the oxygen is absorbed. A canning jar would have a fixed volume and therefore the pressure would be reduced rather than increased.

Thank you for this! I have a question that i can't find the answer for. Maybe someone here can help. We did a bunch of Mylar bags and they all looked vacuum sealed; but then sometime later, maybe a few weeks, i noticed they looked like they have air in them again. Not a ton of air, but not tight like they were. Am i loosing air through possible little holes or is that normal? Thanks for reading!

What are the best kind of beans to package with the mylar

You definitely should want the bag to tighten up from the oxygen absorption. How else will you know that the bag has done its job after years??? It's also a good indicator that you put enough oxygen absorbers in or that they were still good.

I have a vacuum sealer. Will that do if I put the bags in a 5 gal bucket???? Will it last as long???

I'd like to know if there is any benefit from putting the flour in a brown paper bag and then putting it in a mylar bag with an oxygen absorber for sealing? That way, the food would not be touching a metal bag.

When I seal my Mylar bags, sometimes there is a tiny wrinkle in the seal line. How do I make sure there’s no wrinkle. If there’s a wrinkle, will this jeopardize my food storage? Thanks for your insight and advice. Dee

Glad you covered this subject. I had the same concerns as Ryan. What is the best way to extend the shelf life of powered sugar, powered cocoa and baking goods for sweets in general? I would love a video on your emergency bag. The hubs and I need to do one and I feel unprepared to this correct.
