Tin cans are also more flexible in storage space demands.
There's big business in that now. You can go online and find sites that will sell you just about any kind of food properly preserved in #10 cans.
Like most stuff, the more you buy the better the deal.
But the point about the Mormons is right. They are masters of survival preparedness.
Good videos on YouTube show how they organize and store their supply's.

What's good about the mylar system is you can reseal the bag after you take out what you need.
