Hope this isn't out of line. Just wanting some insight and recommendation for a vacuum sealer for all these fish we catch. Thanks.

I also use to seal spare batteries or radio battery packs. Anything we carry on the boats that gets used only once in a while, but must be kept dry.

Not out of line at all pmojoe389. I just bought this for under $80 on ebay.

No particular brand. I thought it was going to be one of those appliances that I'd use a couple of times and than stick it on the top shelf of the pantry with the popcorn and waffle makers. But it's brilliant. I always take Biltong ( beef jerky ) with me whilst sailing or kayaking and by packing up strips of 6 in each packet it's so convenient and keeps it dry. Never thought about the batteries Bob. Good thought. I have matches and paper sealed up as well just in case the gas cooker doesn't work.

I've yet to find bags that are suitable for 'boil in a bag' food. It would be so convenient for what we do. If you know of if they exist or where to get them, please let me know.

I buy a lot of high quality meats and fish and decided to just get a really good vacuum sealer. It's been very well worth the money. Weston Pro-2300 in stainless steel.

If you only do this occasionally, this might be overkill. Either way, it'd be the last one you'd ever have to buy.

During this years Fraser trip Paulo had a pretty cool manual vacuum seal system. I remember to think man that's cool, and then forgot about it.
Guess what Santa brought me?
It contains reusable ziplock bags in different sizes and a manual hand pump which is very lightweight and works very well.
That allows me to vacuum seal things from food to clothes while I am on a trip.
Take some serial out and then vacuum seal the rest again.
Brilliant.
It is called airLock.

To my knowledge and Out of my experience, I can suggest you a Vacmaster Vacuum Sealer and it works perfectly fine for all my vacuum sealing needs.
