container question

[sacksjacked]

Looking for some suggestions for some storage containers, with a decent air seal. Not necessarily food or ammo related, but just in general. Any suggestions on a storage container with a decent air seal. Thanks in advance for your insight guys!

Uline screw top buckets. Of course all plastic does NOT stop oxygen over time. It is permiable, so don't forget the Mylar liners.

Standard 5 gallon bucket with a gamma seal lid. If you can't find the lids locally, they are widely available online. Anything sensitive should get sealed in mylar bags first. Or you could go Pelican or Otterbox, though I think that's beyond what you're asking for.

Leaktite Screw Top Black Lid for 5-Gal. Pail (Pack of 3)-209299 at The Home Depot

I've had good luck with these on a solid 5 Gal. bucket. Definitely not as solid or as air/water tight as a Pelican etc., but it sounds like it will do what you need it to do....

Option B:

More $ but pretty stout

If its not food grade as you said try the orange home depot buckets with the rubber gasket lid, they will work well. Test it, fill one with water, seal it and flip it. I havent had one that was properly sealed leak on me.

Sent from my phone, blame auto spell for the havked ip words...

Could also use 6" pvc pipe with an end cap on one side and a female adapter with a screw cap on the other side. Just make sure to use pvc glue.

Don't forget you can also throw in some dessicants and oxy absorbers.

^ This. These are cheap, readily available, and work great.

I've read so many different things about whether they're food grade or not...but if you'll be putting food in them just make sure to use mylar and you'll be good to go.

Mylar will definitely be used.
