I love mine, and use it to the extent of being the brunt of everyone's jokes. In fact, on one 10 day deer hunt I shrunk all my clothing into a tiny, tight bundle. Since I had un-shrunk clothing, and a large Mule Deer to pack back, I actually took the Foodsaver pump and bags with me. Butchered and vac. wrapped the meat, shrunk my clothing, CHARGED FOR DOING THE SAME FOR MY 4 BUDDIES who had jacked with me...

I seal my PSK in an extra long 6"wide bag, which I can later use as a water bag if I need to. Stronger than any other bag I've seen reviewed here. I also have several tiny pocket fire kits, and pocket first aid kits (Minor cuts,etc) vac. packed in minimal pouches.

Remember, you can make the bags as small as you want to. I have a few that are 2"square!
