They seem a little beefier than the old style. My old ones had cracks up the threads and these new ones seem a little thicker.

I got mine from https://www.campmor.com for $4.99 each but they're out of stock now.
You can get them directly from Reliance Products but they're a little more expensive: https://www.relianceproducts.com/pro...ements/73.html

Good day for food storage. Bought 10 each of the 1.25 and 5 gallon mylar bags and a mess of 300cc oxygen absorbers.
Got a half dozen each of the 2 gallon and 5 gallon food safe plastic containers from Lowes and two of the easy open 1.25 gallon containers from Honeyville Farms. Stored 5 pounds of sugar and 25 pounds of iodized salt in plastic containers. Neither of these need oxygen absorbers or mylar bags. Bagged up 5 pounds of potato flakes, 3 pounds of pancake mix, 3 pounds of dried red beans using 1.25 gallon mylar bags and 600cc's each of oxygen absorbers. Sealed using a hair straightener. Came out great!!!! |

Case of 24 waters +1 GL jug.
Imodium AD, but the second box of 24 at 50% off, and the lady needed one anyways. I have never in my life used it, but if it helps her... A fire is around the corner, and my daughter said that the power went out at her school today. Almost a full tank of gas, so that shouldn't be an issue. Also: Did the math! AVG is ~73.47% savings reloading for the wheel gun in .38 and .357 vs Retail... 73.47% is a good way to prep. for anything. This reminds me, I should tumble some brass right now when the power is up... just in case. Last edited by the86d; 12-07-2017 at 5:49 PM.. |
