Food Sealing Adventures!

I am so happy with the knowledge that 9 families from our ward and multiple other families are now 1 step ahead on their emergency preparedness!
 
 
We sealed our food today in mylar bags with an oxygen absorber with high hopes that it will stay good for 5 years vs. changing it out in 1 year.  We learned that cereal has high oil content and cannot be stored for that long and some granola bars (specifically Sunbelt) have no preservatives and should not be eaten past expiration.

 
Also got reminded how good it feels to have this part of 72 hour kits DONE.  It's a lot of effort but will be worth it should we ever need to use them.
 
Some of the items people included are:
granola bars, oatmeal packets, formula, rice cereal, easy mac, ramen noodles, hard candies, fruit roll ups, hot chocolate, drink flavoring packets, jerkey, dried fruit

 
Great work everybody!
