Tips to Better Enjoy The Outdoors From ZipVac
June, 2009

BARRINGTON, Ill., 6/2009 - Vacuum packaging is popular with those who hunt, camp and fish because it keeps food fresh longer and makes life outdoors more enjoyable. The lightweight ZipVac manual pump and patented storage bags (which won Best Fishing Accessory at the 2008 ICAST industry show) tuck away just about anywhere, making it highly portable. Even the rechargeable automatic vacuum pump tucks easily out of the way. Besides preserving game and fish, ZipVac has many versatile applications to prepare hunters or anglers for their trips to the outdoors. Here are some suggestions from ZipVac:

• Prepare meals in advance for your hunting or fishing trip and vacuum package in ZipVac Bags. Simply drop the ZipVac Bag in boiling water at the campsite. (Foods that need to be refrigerated or frozen still need refrigeration or freezing even when vacuum packaged.)
• Vacuum package towels to make them compact and keep them dry. A spare pair of dry socks can make all the difference in comfort.
• Vacuum package medications, maps and first aid items to keep them organized, dry and childproof.
• Since odors don't pass in or out of ZipVac Bags, they're great for storing food at your campsite in not attracting animals.
• Vacuum package batteries to prevent oxidation and extend their storage life. Keeps your cell phone and radio dry, too.
• Vacuum package film, matches and ammunition to prevent them from becoming wet or exposed to the elements.
• Vacuum package ice for a variety of uses. They'll keep food cold in the cooler and when they melt, you'll have fresh drinking water.
• Vacuum packaged ice packs can also be used to reduce the swelling for sports injuries or bee stings.
