Vac master can’t be beat.

I use my foodsaver to seal up tge front feet off my ‘rats. My little dog loves them, especially in the summer time.

I wrap meat in Saran Wrap and then freezer paper trying to keep all the air out. Game meat, except birds and fish, keep at least 2 years without freezer burn. Fish and birds get vacuum sealed.

We save bread wrappers they really do a good job.

I have a Foodsaver 4400. I bought it online several years ago for around $150. We buy hamburger and other meat in large amounts, then break down into smaller packages for the 2 of us. It has paid for itself just by lack of freezer burn. Found a pound of hamburger in freezer that was 2 years old, looked like the day in was packaged. I buy quart bags in large quantities online, they work for most everything we need. Only buy the Foodsaver bags, the cheap ones don't seal good. Seems like we use this on a weekly basis. This is a good unit.

I cut paper towels to fit just in side the bag to catch any liquids that come up in the vacuum stage.

I have 4 Food Savers. I have that many because we will make a lot of venison sausages at once and it takes all the Food Savers to package them. If I only used 2 Food Savers it would take all day to package because they always get hot and don't work for a while. So, when one or two get hot and won't work, I have back ups.

I have the old white food saver do 4-5 deer every year with it plus some small game. I buy avid armour bags from amazon

For $15 this thing is amazing.

I laughed when my buddy showed me this, but after he butchered 2 moose and a couple deer with his, I bought one of my own to replace my worn out counter top unit.
This thing is freaking awesome and the bags are washable and reusable.

It's nice that you can cut off a hunk or bologna or cheese and seal the bag right back up.
