Mylar food storage bags are ideal bags to store your food in. The trick with this bags is that they create an “oxygen barrier”: air can’t get into the bag so your food won’t go bad. That’s basically what these bags do. They are a great asset when storing food.

Mylar bags have to be sealed before they’re completely airtight. You can do this with a (professional) heat sealing unit or just with your clothes iron. Mylar bags are designed to be easy and to not require specialized equipment so everyone can use them.
First you store your emergency food in the bag, then you iron the opening so the material melts together. Of course you can’t frequently open the bag to add stuff, so only do this when you’re sure you have everything you want to store in the bag!

Mylar bags also come in large sizes of 6 gallons so you can first put your food in the Mylar bag, seal it and then put it in your bucket. This way it’s airtight and well protected from puncturing.
