Just a hint folks. Look in your yellow pages for a restaurant supply house. If they are anything like the 'Clark' food servive equipment house near us you will be real happy you found them.
Food safe plastic bags, 18"x6"x 36", 200 for $36. Candles by the case, pure parafin lamp oil 5 gallons at a clip, and much much more.
As a note, I use two of those bags to each of my small drums I am filling. I expect to have a LOT left over.

We looked at those bags, but could not come up with a way to seal them. How are sealing them?
Mylar seals with an Iron, which is why we are trying to get a large bulk purchase going.
Those food grade bags are cheap if you can seall them well enough to evac the air.

Restaurant supply companys are very good sources for your long term storage needs. Lesco Supply in Blue Island IL. (708)385-0101 was able to provide me with "Clear Bun Pan Covers" 21x6x35 at a cost of $19.75 for 200. Although they are not as thick as I would like, if you double them they are more than adequate.First I fill the bag with product (and 4 oz cilica gel) and displace the oxygen with nitrogen, see "www.survival-center.com/home1.htm" I then twist tie the bag and carefully tuck the extra top of the bag under where the twist tie is so as not to puncture the bag . The outer bag I then put a straw in and use that to suck the air out (no jokes please) effectivly creating a vacuum and seal that bag the same as the first. I then put the top on. I have found that if you put your Knee on the top you will remove a lot of the remaining air between the product and the lid. No problems so far. Safe Times

Greetings to you all in Jesus Name.
I just wanted to drop in note that you have the right place to shop ee oouoiu m.,mskm.emlidbmb,m.xjm yy nj85 DO YOU KN0W THAT A ONE YEAR OLD CAN'T TYPE :o)
I had my baby on my lap and she took over the keyboard.
Well, I have worked in the restaurant industry ever since 1984 and I can tell you that it is the best place to do your shopping.
A suggestion that I would share with you as well is for you to seek out someone who works in the industry as they will be able to get you better deals as the companies usually have a two tiered system with how they price their goods.
Personally, with the preparations which we are making here, I am going to use the contacts which I have made through managing kitchens to get good deals on needed items.
Regarding the sealing of bags, I would recommend looking through the home shopping networks to find those self sealing tools which give an airtight hermeticly sealed finish to a bag.
Another way that seems cruder but it works is to take a vacum cleaner and use it to suck all of the air out of the bag and then just tie it shut.
Another good place I have found to look to for supplies is the second hand shops and the pawn shops as there is usually a lot of what is now considered obsolete equipment out there that I have found people to be more than willing to get rid of as it is like a waste of space for the owner of the store.
As a side note, one of the main things that I will be counting on the keep our foodstuffs viable in the days to come is saying a prayer of thanksgiving to God over our food each time we eat I Timothy 4:4-5
God bless ya each and every one!
Yours in Christ
