I am getting things ready to go to the Palo Duro Canyon gathering, and I gotta tell you that my Foodsaver is awesome for camping. I wish I would have had one in my backpacking days.
I am cutting onions, measuring ingredients, and vacuum sealing everything at home, in my well-equipped kitchen, so when I am out in my Teardrop, all I have to do is cut open pouches and dump things into the pan, or onto the grill.
It is the camp cook's mis en plas.
And, no wasted food. You measure it. You seal it, you use it. Gone.
No, I don't work for Foodsaver. I just love to recommend products that serve me well.
Tip: You can ALWAYS find these things on sale. Just look. And, buy generic bags online. I get mine from Amazon.com, of all places, and they work fine, and are WAY cheaper than name brand at retail.
Bon Appetit!
