I started with 25lbs bags of food, mylar bags, and oxygen absorbers. I put whatever food I wanted to use right away in other easily accessible containers and the remaining food ended up being packed in the mylar bags.
The process wasn't difficult. the only hard part is finding places for the full bags to go. I don't have much room for things, or rather, I don't have good places yet for things to go but I did have some empty buckets I had picked up from a bakery of which I put some of the bags in after I sealed them. They worked great.
Since I did these mylar bags I have come to realize that I am not left with enough food out of them before I need more. So, next time I'll pick up more containers when I get more food and then end up with a lot more of certain foods out of the mylar bags and ready to use right away. As it is, I did this a few months ago and have opened up three mylar bags. One sugar and two potato flakes. I could try and prevent such a need of needing to get into the bags, but I cannot afford to go to the store for these 25lbs bags very often. I am in the works to it with the help of other but that may take awhile. In the meantime, I've learned a bit about how much I need to keep out and how much is good to put up.
