I just bought some more storage buckets at Lowe’s - $2.39 and lids were .89.
One local survival thread posted that he gets his from a Donut Shop in the area for $1 each.
Might be worth asking your local shop. Also others say they get them from WalMart Deli department for free by just asking as they just put them in the dumpster.
I have had a 16” heat sealer for years and use that, but a hot iron works too, but do not want to melt it onto your iron.
Try this site for a video of how to seal mylar bags...

Oh, and they have lots of other very interesting ‘how to’s’ also. Like how to make your own Rice Crispies (the secret Kellogs doesn’t want you to know)
Can you explain to me HOW one makes rice krispies in the home kitchen? I can tolerate Quaker puffed rice, but I get ill whenever I eat Kellogg’s rice krispies, it has to be something in the extra ingredients, like the maltodextrin OR SOMETHING.
