BEST REUSABLE BAGS for Camping and Hiking

[@NinaRoush1]

I love the stasher bags, it keeps my cilantro fresh for a long time.

[@erikas.44]

Wow! It was fun to see some old cloth diapering brands have ventured into storage. I used Bumkins covers for my kids (14-19 years ago) and some of the covers are still working for friends. I'm sure their bags would be good too. I use the slide seal and zip bags for both camping and hiking and have worked great.

[@alexandrarose7818]

Love the mention of the paper bags so you don’t have to track down your reusable ones! I think I’ll definitely pick some of them up along with some stasher bags. Awesome review.

[@amanda.outside]

I'm so glad you liked it! 💕The paper ones definitely come in handy!

[@codelinx]

Three bumkins are okay for single day use, but after that they don't keep treats well, but others great bag for some uses.

[@BuriedCitadel]

Exactly what I was looking for! Very informative. Thanks Amanda!

[@LoveFrom713]

I love stasher bags!!! I was skeptical at first but, omg I'm hooked now! The fabric/velcro bags are my least favorite.

[@amanda.outside]

Yea the Stasher bags are definitely my favorite!!

[@galemartin3277]

How long did it take to receive them?? I ordered almost 8 days ago. I can't get a response from them.

Just stumbled across the stasher bags yesterday and I'm already in love with them great breakdown of the video in the different bags

[@acm5739]

Super late comment, but I have been using the same set of 5 Re-Zip bags daily for the past FIVE years and they are still as strong, clean, and tight-sealing as the day I bought them. Can't speak to the durability of Stasher bags, but there's absolutely no reason to worry about the Re-zip one wearing out!

[@amanda.outside]

Mine are still going strong too! I love them!

[@arw1013]

Whoa! This is so good to know. Thanks for sharing the update, I'm definitely sold on Re-Zip now!

[@annagiese4916]

That you for doing such a great comparison of all the bags!!!

[@amanda.outside]

You're welcome!

[@matthewgardeningintexas1364]

I love Aforcli's bags more because great value, great price ! I have been eliminating plastics from my household as I'm super concerned about the environmental impact of all the plastic we use, as well as its affect on our bodies when we cook food in the microwave, or even place them in the dishwasher. As these are silicone, they are dishwasher and microwave safe, and also can be used to store food in the freezer. I use them exclusively now and do not ever have to buy ziplock bags anymore.

[@emmittsufzanlin5560]

Thank you for.... they're perfect, i really love them.

[@adohrfarms]

I have bags similar to the re-zip ones. Mine aren’t dishwasher safe, which is why I’m thinking about splurging on the stasher. Thanks for such a comprehensive comparison!

[@amanda.outside]

You're welcome! I do love the Stasher bags and it's so easy to be able to put them in the dishwasher!

[@joynerjoyner1830]

Great Review! Thanks for sharing.

[@tomnoyb8301]

#1: Smellyproof bags, #2 ZipVac bags. ZipVac bags enable re-vacuum sealing freeze-dried goods. Included manual vacuum sealer weighs only one-ounce. As any hiker knows, freeze-dried costs more than ten-times as much, but weighs one-tenth. Pre-made meals, such as Mountain House don't require resealing, nor do homemade vac-sealed meals. But, what if one wants to buy and use cheaper bulk freeze-dried (e.g. meats) on long-distance trails? Sure, one could use a regular ziplock, but freeze-dried quickly absorbs moisture from the air, gets heavier and potentially spoils. ZipVac solves these issues.

[@shaynalinkie]

Do you find the stuff in the bumkins fabric bags goes stale quickly? I am going to make some for my daughters lunches but am wondering if I can pack a couple days ahead or not.

[@siamakzahmat]

Great video, Amanda. What would you recommend for office use? I need something for carrying 4 to 6 sandwiches.

[@minivanadventureclub8720]

Great review. I have the Homelux style ones and I use them a lot for camping but I kind of hate the plastic part. It's awkward sometimes to get it on and off and it makes the bag so bulky. One thing I sometimes do is kind of roll them and put a big rubber band around them instead of using the plastic slide. Fits better in the cooler, and works for non liquid things. I have been wanting the stasher bags but omg they are RIDICULOUSLY pricey. I just can't. I'm so glad you showed how they can open if you push on them. That's not going to work for me so now I don't have to covet them :)

[@Louisiana666]

Have you tried any of those beeswax wraps? There are multiple brands but I think the most well-known is bee’s wrap. I have a few and they’re pretty cool!

[@bittybigq]

We love to use those reusable bags for our camping trips!

[@amanda.outside]

Aren't they the best! Definitely one of my top car camping hacks!

[@bittybigq]

@@amanda.outside We use those silicone bags to marinate meat for trips. Put them into freezer the day before so they become a big piece of ice. It then keep the temperature cool in the cooler for other items!

[@Sarah-mi2rv]

Super helpful and practical video! I'm new to stasher but love them thus far!

[@kaylaholzberger9233]

Thank you so much for this awesome review! I went to Amazon and QUICKLY got overwhelmed, this has helped me not buy something that may not be user friendly to me! I have recently have made some changes in my life to live a better more earth-friendly/animal-friendly life!

[@amanda.outside]

I'm so glad this video was helpful!

[@okashi10]

Thank you for the helpful review!

[@usbornereader5462]

Great video. I have the Stasher & Re-zips & love them both. I use the Stasher for fridge/freezer only & the Re-zip for fridge/carrying about. I'd never heard of the Bumpkins & look forward to getting a few of those. Lunchskins, on the other hand, are the only ones I didn't care for. The box I received was defective & I have to tape them down the sides to use.

[@amanda.outside]

Sorry to hear about the Lunckskins, but I’m so glad you like the Stashers and ReZip - they’re definitely my favorite!!

[@clairewallace1458]

thanks for doing this comparison! what would you recommend if I wanted to bring a serving of hummus on a day hike?

[@danuelliaramdeen7373]

Great video love it. Its the way to go

[@disabledcamperhardnocks8068]

Do you have a suggestion that will work in a stove to heat food up. Like a canteen cup or something? Thank you in advance.

[@Seriously140]

On the Rezip, what do you mean by Blue Avocado? Is that a color? A style?

[@BjornarFrantzen]

Love the bumkins!!!!

[@eliselewis]

Great helpful video!! Thanks so much!!

[@sibarra417]

het amanda I have a question...I recently bought reusable silicone food bags from Walmart and i put them in the dishwasher and they got all messed up...do you have a special way to wash and clean your bags?

[@zorazorazorzzora8333]

Thank you! First time viewer ..I heard you mention you make your own granolas.... any recipes in particular?

[@alk945]

See her comments below the video. She linked everything

[@shuwenli7445]

like your content! wondering if the lunchskins' peels on the paper bags recyclable? thank you!

[@Jennaye17]

I just bought the rezip bags. Do you hand wash them or put them in the dishwasher?

[@alexisasplundh8606]

What kind of bars are those?! they look so yum!

[@azentboyspike5354]

I like the variety and good reviews.

[@amanda.outside]

Glad you like them!

[@jarrodhockley]

little tip, if the bag is not water tight, then its not air tight either, and so things will perish quicker, or go stale sooner etc... also any woven material or vinyl containing bag will be a bacteria magnet.

[@JoseRamirez14]

Anthony Hockley I have stashers and wash them by putting water and soap in it and shaking it around so I know for a fact it’s air tight and water tight. She was just saying that if you have liquids in it and have a little air and you squeeze it hard enough it’ll open, thus letting the liquids out

[@shaynalinkie]

The bumkins bags are machine washable and the inside is food-grade and food safe

[@BlackJester57]

great video!

[@DrMarvinLara]

Those ones at 2:45 you got from Home luxe aren't good for storying liquids. It will slowly drip out if you tip them over

[@janine1744]

This is cool thank you

[@panchaguzman3719]

Those are cool see I learn something everyday, plus I'm always out and about I'm going to order some

[@meln5499]

Which is the best for meat in the cooler, car camping?

[@learnginniecookingchannel4193]

Yes these bags are just awesome, we have a product review video too on our channel for more info on them. Yes available on Amazon. Makes life very easy with loads of savings.

[@gastoncruz4885]

Can you add boiling hot water in these to cook food like oatmeal?

[@WasatchWill]

Good overview of those bags. Those HomeLux ones look like they could work for holding and rehydrating homemade dried meals. Have you considered trying them out for that? Probably be good to have a cozy to put them in too for insulation if they could be used for that.

[@amanda.outside]

That's actually why I originally bought them, but I've noticed that meals don't rehydrate as well in silicon. I need to test it a little bit more!

[@barnaclebill1615]

Nice review thanks!😁👍👍

[@pixellyperfect]

I don’t think you mentioned it in the video... how are the rezip with liquids? You mention moisture but not specifically a liquid like a sauce?

[@pdub6453]

I really want to love my stasher bags but it has kept the flavor of my dish soap so that everything I put in it tastes like soap.

[@DivineN23]

I’m trying to find some that are good for chips. I have some they are too thick and they break the chips. I need a thin type like real ziplock bags.

[@javiersarmientoyunge9924]

thanks for the review! i got a question. the second ones that you have reviewed, they have silicon smell?

[@amanda.outside]

Not that I've noticed!

[@chanthataing7042]

Exactly the video I was looking for! Will start doing my research. Those paper sandwich bags are such a great idea!

[@amanda.outside]

Glad it was helpful!

[@PunkRockRog]

Stashed does ALL of the other stuff as well. #yaknow

[@audreynguyen8788]

what is the difference between the material of the bumkins and lunchskins cloth bags?

[@amanda.outside]

So they both are made of a waterproof fabric. The main difference with the ones that I have is the zipper closure on the Bumkin versus the velcro closure on the Lunchskin bag. The Lunchskin bag also feels a little bit thicker. Lunchskin also sells bags with a zipper closure, but I haven't tried them yet.

[@r9f-anne952]

Thank you for doing this video. It was helpful even though I couldn't catch a lot of the words in it. You talk really, really fast, too fast for me to follow well. Next time you do a great video like this, slow down a little bit? Is the ReZip made of the same material as the Stashers? And what about the ones with the slides that go over the top of the bag (couldn't understand the name) - are they platinum silicone as well? When you say they will "stand up" does that mean they will stand up by themselves, so you can pour something into them? Thanks.

[@amanda.outside]

The ReZip bags are made of a type of plastic. The Stasher bags are made of silicone so they are plastic free. The HomeLux Theory bags with the sliding top piece are made of silicon too. When they are full of food, they can stand up on their own, but you would have to hold them upright when you're pouring something into them. Hope this helps!

[@jenniferhayes1294]

You can go to settings on the video and slow down or speed up a video. I find it a really helpful feature.

[@haideelance8188]

I slowed the speed down to 80% and still had trouble understanding all that was said.

[@VOLTCLOVE]

I work with rezip, can we reach out to you and send you some?

[@myunbrickable]

Where are the zip tops

[@richardk7379]

Zip Locks are much cheaper and will last a while. Much lighter also. Pretty important when hiking. Then you just pitch when they get cruddy. Thanks for vid.

[@Pwrcritter]

I need Amanda Hugginkiss..

[@bluesky-pb9di]

I bet everything she has on the table adds up or more than 100 dollars.

[@PhoenixBorealis]

The stashers alone make up half of that.

[@adithyasriramoju685]

Don't use plastic bags for storage of food

[@matthewgardeningintexas1364]

Use peva bags or silicone bags from Aforcli. It's perfect for avoiding waste of money and for your heathy
