When storing in mylar bags with the zip feature, do you also seal the edges with a heat source? Now that I'm asking that it kind makes sense.

Yes. For me the zip feature is for after I open and am actively using the contents. Until then, I want it fully sealed.

absolutely - the ziplock is not airtite enough and likely to break open if the content food shifted bottom to top ...

if you have regular mylar bags storing food - make sure to stock a quantity of binder clips along with a color variety pack of Gamma lids >>> make yourself an eazy access pantry when you crack open those stored buckets - fold close and clip the bags even if they are inside the buckets ....
