Great idea if you are not sheep hunting and risk dropping your pack in the water. You could have ammo can for main storage, but I like transferring them to a pack.
@@northernplanit2082 Let me reply in a more informative way. For storage both your way and mine are great. The primary benefit of both our ways is the preservation of ammunition. Your way does not require the reusable desiccant mine needs to preserve or extend the life and quality of the rounds. Mine is faster to get at, if I need to and I save time vacuum sealing the rounds as well as the cost of the Vacuum Sealer and the plastic.
Hope you have better luck with these "bags" than I have. The bag material I bought proved to be porous enough that after about 6 months, enough air had gotten in that the rigidity of them was gone. This left mine no better off than if I had put stuff into zip lock bags. I think it must have something to do with the fact that they intend for them to be sealed and then frozen. Mylar on the other hand, with oxygen absorbers worked great for me. Best of luck to you. :)
Really? Very interesting. I use different bags for food. No idea what brand and I am interested in vacu-sealing some ammo... What I have learned with food is to study the seal... if the seal is off, air will get in in 5-10 min. So before I put in freezer or fridge or sous vide tub, I wait a few minutes to see if it has lost and compression.
Great video! I am new to vacuum sealing ammunition, but think its a great way to store them. What brand of bags are you using? I like that the bags have a strip in the middle for product description. Just subbed and rang the bell!
wouldn't it be better to leave the .22's in their boxes when putting them in the bag to increase their impact resistance and to ensure the reliability of the priming compound during later use?
@@northernplanit2082 … I would say less cartridges per sealed pack … so that most ammo stay dry when opening each pack as necessary in a grab and go situation. No resealable equipment out in the ‘wilderness’.
I thought about that, but the bag would need to go on the outside. once the vacuum is punctured it could allow humidity in. If you want extra protection the second bag should go on the outside. Good question though.
You’ve used masking tape to mark and identify your bags...bad choice...place the identification inside bag...masking tape will dry out over time...curl and fall off
I have not used masking tape. The bags actually have a white writing surface strip on the plastic. Your comment on putting identification on the inside is a good one though. Thanks

I am sure it is possible, but as soon as you need 1, the other 999 are no longer sealed. I think 20 per bag is perfect so you only use what you need for most occasions.
Personally I prefer not to carry an ammo can in my pack when hunting moose in marshy and wet terrain. When I fall it tends to jam into my back. I find that having dry ammo in my pack is a less painful experience...but to each their own
