Bread & Grain Storage

[M. Demetrius]

Waxed soft leather is reasonably water resistant. I use that to keep my charcloth dry from moisture (won't work if you fall in the lake, though). Pottery jugs were often waxed shut, amphora-style, right? But a guy carrying six ounces of hard tack doesn't want to put it into a one pound jug...I don't think they had oilcloth, but they might have. Not olive oil, probably, but there are other oils that stay fresher.
