For all who may use mylar bags to store food in, Amazon will not sell them after early August. Heads up, preppers.
📦 Long-term Prep 📝
Their "reasoning" is because of drug dealers use the mylar bags and they block odors and aromas of what's inside, making it easier to smuggle.
We know it's to control preppers and what they do for themselves.
https://youtu.be/a-1RRzcXMdQ That isn't the video we watched, and I haven't watched it yet, but it looks like it will happen.
We usually get ours right from sorbent systems.
Fuck Amazon.
WTF. The border is WIDE OPEN and no one needs expensive mylar bags to hide their fentanyl. This is to stop people from surviving their famine plans.
Exactly.
First NAC. Now mylar bags. What's next? Aspirin?
Whatever is beneficial and easily obtainable will be taken away. They only have the best of intentions.
Hopefully they just ban mexicans for a while. See how things go
So I just read the rule written by amazon: Due to regulatory requirements, all Mylar bags that are not clear or single-colored must be removed from the Amazon store by August 5, 2022.
I did more of a dive, they're only removing patterned ones and multi-color ones that are under a certain size, 1 Gal. Then I looked up the regulation because I thought it was stupid, it's from a 2018 Trump EO on drug enforcement. Sellers had 4 years to comply and give customers alternatives. I'd never heard of such a long standing comply period, so I looked that up and apparently when it comes to sellers who make over a certain amount, they have a longer time frame, Amazon appealed 5 times and eventually Biden's regulatory douchebag forced the removal of these types of bags.
Thank you for actually looking into this. I use aluminized ones for food to keep light out as well as oxygen. Never saw anything about this before.
Yeah, I use a ton for storage and for repackaging the foods I sell. I got this notice about a dozen times from Amazon.
The little clear ones are good for rounding up loose hardware as they are tougher than ziplocs.
Totally agree, now you can't buy rainbow ones, only clear or solid colors.
The Amazon clip read by the presenter says that going forward, only clear or single colored bags will be sold. I don't know why one colored bags aren't as good for drug smuggling as multi-colored, but that's what the article says.
We bought a case of the big bags many months ago, and just got a shipment of dessicant packs and little bags for our freeze drying.
We'd love to freeze dry, but don't have the money for a machine. One day!!
yeah that machine is pretty sweet. My only issue is I'm off-grid. Do you happen to know how much power it draws?
Which ones do u recommend?
For smuggling drugs or long term food storage?
Haha. If you need it, go to alibaba. A lot cheaper.
yes
Long term storage please. I have a manly women’s basketball player smuggle my drugs for me.
Not that long ago you could buy liquid mercury by the gallon on Amazon... totally messed up my flying saucer plans.
Ty for letting me know
Wow. We should compile a running list of things Amazon has decided to stop selling, it would be informative on what to buy!
Thanks!!
I've been watching a ton of border security tv shows recently. They say quite often how dumb people are for thinking they can mask smells with coffee or in mylar bags. Dogs and humans can smell right through them. Amazons excuse has zero basis in real life, and law enforcement will say so as well. Why are they trying to stop the sale?
You can't. I've worked dogs for 18 years. Some guy would think he solved the problem and bring it To us and the dogs always found rhe dope. It's difficult tonwork with many products that don't have static. Even those static free bags have an ionization that odor can stick to. It's all molecular and the dog still can smell it. At some point the exterior of the container gets exposed to the product going inside. It van and will attach. Having said that I'm still looking for a way to trick the dogs by denying them odor through packaging and placement. It not easy and I've never succeeded.
You've gotten to work with dogs?! That is a dream job of mine.
You'd be crazy to buy them from Amazon anyhow. Their rate of cheap Chinese knockoffs the past two years has skyrocketed. Amazon has started allowing basically anyone and everyone to partner with them, and I've received several items in the past two years that were obvious knockoffs of what I was trying to purchase.
I buy mine from a site that specifically manufactures and sells food prepping supplies.
What site? Go ahead and drop a link.

I've bought hundreds of bags and O2 absorbers from them over the past two years and they're all still holding strong.
For the 5 gallon bags, I put them inside of Lowes buckets, fill them to the top, seal them and then put the lid on the bucket. I prevents vermin from destroying your efforts to store your food.
I just vacuum seal and place in 5 gal buckets for storage. Flour, beans rice, sugar, etc. I double seal my vacuum bags to ensure proper sealing. O2 absorbers for certain items. Can the rest in a pressure cooker. Just added more Berkey filters to the stockpile. Made my own cheap Berkey. And have a hidden hand pump for water well. May buy a solar backup for my primary well.
Fuck Amazon. It’s sad a bunch of people on this board can’t tear themselves away front their cucked Amazon Prime steaming service because they’re addicted to the programming.
USA company we use for long term storage. https://packfreshusa.com/
I don't need mylar
Did anyone even watch the video.
They aren't banning all bags, just the ones drug dealers use.
Drug dealers will use every bag made until they ban them all.
Point is why ban it it doesn't work to block odor from dogs.
