I'm thinking of bringing meats for our fishing trip in July.
Anyone use a vacuum food sealer?

I use a Tillia. Vacuum pack fish for the freezer. Works great. Keeps
the stuff very nice. The Halibut I got in Homer last July is still great
shape. Commercially vac packed and sealed. For a fishing trip, I would
just use the Baja Vacuum pack. Put the meat in a good Ziploc and submerge
the bag except for the top in water, forcing out the air. Then freeze.
You are not going to be storing the food for a long time and that is where
the vacuum pack excels.

Bill, I like that!
Understand the idea of forcing the air out of the Ziploc by submerging the
bag
in water....excellent! Tried to do a search, but coming up empty on the
Baja
Vacuum Pack. Is that a stainless steel vacuum jar?
thanks,
