This short video reviews a useful device for packing and preparation for adventure activities. I recently obtained a Fresh Saver Portable Vacuum Packing System that uses 1 quart and 1 gallon vacuum packing bags. The rechargable unit is small and portable. This is going to make a huge impact on how I assemble and prepare kits for outdoor activities.

This video revisits the adventure cache tube with a subscriber suggested improvement for improved burial durability, as well as, vacuum packing ammo with a Food Saver. “A “jim” cap is a much better option than the plug, it can hold more pressure, is all rubber, water? proof and can be cut away with a knife if there is need. Plugs have a tendency to break easy..the bolt is galvanised but the wing nut is not and is its weakest link. No hub jim caps are designed for water proof burial.” – thank you to YouTuber jplerwill REACT 04-24 Reusable Easy Access Cache Tube An Easy to Build Adventure Cache Tube for approximately Size 4 x 24 inches Storage Volume 300 cubic inches (approximate) MATERIALS • Pre-Cut ABS Pipe 4 x 24 • 4-inch ABS Knock Out Inspection Cap • 4-inch Test Plug – OR- • 4-inch Rubber No-Hub “Jim” Cap • Small Tube Silicone Caulk • ABS Glue (silicone works great though) • 36 x 8-inch roll vacuum bag material • Food Saver Vacuum / Heat Seal Machine – or Clothes Iron Download the PDF file by clicking on the link below: www.box.net ALOKSAK® ELEMENT-PROOF BAGS www.loksak.com www.rei.com bepreparedtosurvive.com www.thewaterproofstore.com

Hi
I am attempting to make some home made MRE’s for long-term preparedness storage.
They will consist mainly of dried goods (pre-flavoured rice / pasta / noodles etc) plus some candy bars, tea, coffee etc.
Assuming that the shortest lifespan (sell-by date) is on the candy bar – lets say 1.5 years – how much could that lifespan be increaced if all the food is sealed into a single bag using a vacuum sealer machine? and stored at the following temps:
Peak Moment 167: Nevada County locals Jim Wray and Loraine Webb show us the how and why of packaging bulk foods with nitrogen. They’re using equipment available for community members to use at minimal cost. Jim demonstrates packaging: make plastic bags using a heat sealer, fill with foodstuffs, suck out the oxygen with a small vacuum, then replace the air with nitrogen and seal. Loraine, organizer of The Neighborhood Readiness Project, has arranged with several locally-owned grocery stores to sell 25 pound bags of grains, beans and other bulk foods at just above cost. Loraine’s vision is our having food caches in every neighborhood in the county, so that, if the trucks stop rolling in an emergency, we’ll have food for ourselves AND to share with our neighbors.
Whether your using the Ziploc vaccum bags or the Food Savers, they enable you to somewhat weather proof your kit for use in the backcountry. It saves space and ensures that when you call upon your gear its just how you left it, ready for what you need it for.
