specific bags, but you can re use them if you want. I usually freezer wrap my deer then put various packages together, then vac seal. When I open them up I can reuse the bag until it gets too small to use.

ya no kidding i stoped vacuming my meat that i will not keep longer then a month went back to ziplocks i swear every other bag has holes in it when i get my deer freezer i will make sure everything is layed out where i will not need to dig in to get to that one cut of meat i want

It's the only way to go Blood!!!

But you do have to be carefull rooting around in your freezer. If you put a hole in a bag, it's no longer vaccum sealed.;)And frozen meat clanking together can make a hole in a hurry.

We do use them, but they are so slow. We mainly use it for early season archery deer we shoot. During our gun season, we harvest about 14-20 deer a year, at one time, so we dont have time to use our foodsaver.

Nothing better for keeping meat/fish/veg. I think it is a must have applicance for outdoorsman. You will not lose any meat to freezerburn and the flavor also stays the same. Go get one!!!

I have been using a foodsaver for years. It works great for all kinds of things.

Our entire group has been using Foodsaver vaccum sealers for wow.....maybe 15 years or more?
I think to a man we ALL have one. I don't know how you can do without one if you want to keep meat and fish, and even veggies ect fresh for extended periods of time.
If mine suddenly stopped working I would seriously go out and buy a new one the very next day. Nothing worse than losing good eats to freezer burn. :(
How much does one of those cost?
They start out at about $100.00. You don't need the top of the line model. You can get a real good one for under $150.00. They are well worth the money. Just go to Wal-Mart.
