Be careful with vacuum packing expandable, compressible, materials. Things like towels and bandages. If the vacuum bag gets a leak these materials will expand and can put a tremendous amount of pressure on any container. This can kit a dresser or shelf system.

It also makes vacuum packing less attractive for any situation where you need to get into the vacuum bag often. Vacuum pack all your bandages in a FAK and after you open the vacuum bag your going to have problems getting it back into the same satchel.
