Nice.
I just bought a cheapo vacuum packer though
Not seen those bags before though, need to have a Google for a decent supply of large mylar bags

In google .co.uk if you type in rain farm this forum is listed at number 6 on the search, I just wanted to see if typing in long term food stores will attract traffic to this site, and how long it would take to reach page one.

I got mine from USA it worked out cheaper back then. There is a company on EBay doing them at a fair price now though only not sure of the grade and I don't have a link to them, won't be hard to locate though not many UK sellers on the bay.

found those ones. Anyone know the storage life difference between using mylar and normal bags that come with the vacuum packer (clear but quite thick plastic)?
If it's years then I'll get a load of the mylar, but if it's only 6 months extra or something then there's not much point.

Depends on what you store, like white rice will store longer then brown rice due to oils, and so on.
They say white rice 25 years.
This is the one I use.
