okay I'm doing some sealing up today some things I'm going to put in permanently in my backpack so this is how you do just a cheap cheap ziplock bag if you don't have any that good bags or the sealer back concealer bags or the regular sealer bags you take this and you just cut the strip off real simple add good scissor to do simpler like whatever so we cut that off all I did Lee we try to yeah don't the help me okay to cut that off you put your contents and then the ziplock that you or any cheap baggie the cheaper baggies are are fine for this if you're just going to attend the Legrand care they're going to get I usually put medical kits and things like this like gauze and things I need to compress down you put it like that and you take this and you cut off all the extra plastic you can while hearing Trisha cough the ends makes a lot of you and these will provide your air channels it's just a simple way to do it I've used straws I've done all kinds of things we use the red one here so you can see what we're doing but you take it cut it down you cut a lot of the extra off that would be okay but I'm just going to cut them off because there's less step back to seal through will melt the straw in there in the seal there we go and depending on what bag you have um try to use a lowest setting first put that down in there sometimes I put it in the food depends what I'm doing so now the straw goes across that's there um straight tasty better it probably doesn't really matter to be honest but you know put in your foot let it touch the food we have a cross like that now I'm going to start by setting out of the FoodSaver bag setting up here number two but one would probably work but we'll go with two for now and we'll seal it and hopefully I won't cut to the rest of the bag when your seal so let's go ahead and draw a vacuum on this and let it sit for a second so it doesn't cut through the bag there you go if you want you can put another seal above this I don't I just cut the straw it's all good I just call that good for gauze and stuff but as you can see it melted right through there and this is a simple solution for doing that I've had so many problems of the higher quality bags tend not to leak so there's that but like I said if you want if you want to put another vac you know the seal across the top I turn it down to turn the same down to one because I've had to melt to the zip right now and just do you'll have to find out what what a sealing timing is right for you and your bag one or two on the FoodSaver is generally right for ziplock bags Ziploc brand bags but you know double seal and you are good to go I'm this'll last forever unless the bag is a whole other not very quality bags but it's a good hard seal there and for things like that's fine for food it's fine if that's what you want to do I wouldn't because it can't take durability but if you do something like this and put in a bag all right yeah a bucket be fine but these bags are not as impermeable as this so if you want freezer bag the last a long time this bag will hold the vacuum just through air molecules getting through the plastic for probably about a week or two which is fine for my trips and camping meals I sell a lot of meals up if I want a disposal baton then take trash out and pack it out but there you go that's a very simple way to to use regular baggies in a food sealer or any bag you that don't have the crisscross the crisscross which involve the air channels in it you can add your own by doing top of the bag or just using a bag you can put it'll seal through a melt through it so there you go ah please read some every day - right thanks bye
