Is that the one where she tells you to use lots of bay leaves "to keep the bugs away?" If so, a good video, but the bay leaf is completely unnecessary. The food is in mylar bags and in a plastic bucket; why on earth does she think that bugs will get in?

If you're really worried about bugs, put some Diatomaceous Earth in with the food. It kills anything that might hatch after packing. (But the Oxygen absorbers should make it impossible for them to live anyway.) But skip the bay leaves and spend the money on storage food instead.
