The Incredible non editable zip lock bag

One of our modern inventions that is hard to beat are the ever popular kitchen Zip-Lock bags. These precious little gems are invaluable when it comes to survival preparations. I have enclosed several uses that I have found for these inexpensive items.

When on a survival exercise the Zip lock bags prove to be useful for everything ranging from storing foods to important documents.

These bags can be purchased in several different sizes ranging from the small 1 pint size up to the large 2 gallon capacity. I try to keep some of each size around. To those who have read any of my previous survival articles you will know that I am a firm supporter of the Dollar Tree Store and once again you can purchase the Zip-locks at the Dollar Tree.

I like to make my own mixes and as such the zip-locks afford me the opportunity to combine the various ingredients together so that all I would need to do on a survival outing is dump the contents of the bag into the required amount of water. Each bag would contain the exact amount of seasonings as well as the associated products such as dried veggies or rice or pastas. It is all together and makes for easy cooking.

For storage of these smaller zip-locks all the finished small bags can safely be placed in a larger 2 gallon bag for safe storage and added protection. Be sure to include instructions carefully placed on index cards for the preparation of the products in the package also.

Should you decide to take along other dry ingredients which would require the addition of the non-dry items place all the dry ingredients in a zip-lock. When using it simply add the non dry ingredients to the mix. Label it appropriately with a marker and once again do not forget the instructions.

Measuring out items such as pasta, rice, flour, sugar, drink mixes, etc into the zip-lock bags makes storage all the more easier. No longer will you have to maintain all the bulky boxes or the canisters but rather the bags only which take up a lot less space. Make sure to mark the bag appropriately.

Lastly in the way of food snakes store great in the zip-lock bags. Here you have several choices. You can store individual servings in the smaller bags or store bulk amounts in the larger ones.

Enough talk about the benefits associated with the zip-lock bags and food, now lets talk about other uses for these handy little items.
