Ziploc brand Large Bags

[bigTom]

This is one of the very best things that has happened to my camping experience in several years.

Picture is of the 3 gallon size, it just fits in 1/2 of my ST Honda saddle bag when it is completely jammed full of clothes. Which means I can carry 4 with ease. Clean clothes, dirty clothes, shower stuff, laundry stuff. If I am on a long (like 2 week) run. Note the handles. Heavy enough to re use, this bag has 4 trips on it, still going strong.

I bought this box of bags sight unseen, the 2 bigger bags in this package are way more suited for pick up camping or real storage. Too big for me to use (since I got waterproof lash bags for the bike). But I have reason to believe that you can buy 3 or 5 gallon bags only now.

This is a great product, and fits into the seriously cheap category. Has to be seriously cheap to make my product list! You will not be unhappy with this bag.

AARRGGHH. I forgot MANAGE ATTACHMENTS. Doh!

where do you get these? They seem handy to have...

And I was really liking the 1 gallon and sandwitch bag sizes. I'll get some of these as well. Thanks for the recommendation.

Been doing the gallon size for years. I like to squish the air out of the clothes, then, seal it up. Also I got lightweight cloth bags (they might be shopping bags?) to carry all of them to the bike's bags. Bag, bag & bag! Then just flop the bags in the tent. Makes loading and unloading more enjoyable.

I tried using these bags earlier this year after reading it on the site. My son and I use them when we go camping with the boy scouts. Another great thing about them, if you do not open them up while camping you do not have to wash that set of clothes. We put a complete change of clothes in each bag. Shame I did not know about this years ago.

Just don't make the vacuum mistake. I saw where a guy copied the idea of those vacuum-shrink bags with ziplocks...
Evidently, there IS no VACUUM on the campsite, so the compressed clothes you took on your journey, now have to be stuffed back into bags...no problem there...then stuffed back into packs and saddlebags. Only now, they're all 1/3 LARGER than they were when you came out.
Ooooopth! :o
As a rule, I plan on normal expansion of clothing to be taken care of by food we ate, but not at 1/3 expansion. Also, dried foods don't take up much room anyway.

I've not seen these anywhere, Tom. Where did ya find them?

I've been using the "reusable" cloth-ish grocery sacks for about a year, pretty handy. Pack small when empty, tuff enuff to tie on for the trip from the grocery to the camp. Functionally disposable at ~$1.

This is MAN CAVE STUFF!!! Now we're talking! From the looks of the photo, they come in even BIGGER SIZES!!! Keeping stuff dry and organized just became that much easier and better.

I don't know where Tom found his but I bought some from Ace Hardware.

[bigTom]

Hey, Savvy, Welcome!

I bought mine at Wally's, but they have quit carrying them...I bought plenty so don't need any right now, good to know about Ace...

Glad you are here, enjoy!
