packing in all in.....

Hi,

Sharing a tip...

Something we tried last year and it really worked well

For packing bulky items like duvets - wet suits - clothes etc we used those "vac bags".

I was amazed at how small things like duvets and wet suits and clothes get when compressed. We bought the cheap ones from the £1 shop (or was it the 99p shop ?) and they worked fine. Made packing things so much easier

Was able to re pack for journey home using the airbed pump to get the ait out of the vac bag.

Regards

Surprisingly James ....... yes (well almost.... if you lay on /squish the bag too as you extract the air)

Sorry to go on about it, but you really will be surprised at how much things shrink in these vac bags and space you save

I got them from the local 99p shop.

Matt
