The $0 Food Storage Methods Nobody Tells You About

You've been lied to about food storage costs. The industry wants you to believe you need $200 buckets, $1,500 can sealers, and expensive branded packaging. Garbage works better. Glass jars: free, 30-year shelf life. PET bottles: free, FDA approved, 15-year shelf life. Mylar bags: reusable 5 times, costs $2. Same oxygen removal. Same chemistry. Same results. I'll show you the documented cases of preppers who opened 20-year-old wheat stored in soda bottles. Perfect. Edible. No degradation. Then I'll show you the one deadly mistake with moisture content that creates botulism and kills people with modern medical treatment available. This is brutal physics for real people who understand survival isn't about looking cool online when the supply chain fails.
