I'm a backpacker with quite a number of food allergies and sensitivities so, buying to-go bag meals for my adventures is quite a challenge. As a result, I started dehydrating my own meals to bring from home. I read online that the freezer bag method sometimes results in issues on the trail so, I tried using food saver bags. They worked but, I wasn't really satisfied with the results. I was however immediately hooked on bringing homemade meals. After a bit of searching, I found that Bushka's Kitchen sells the same bags that they use for their meals which was an immediate selling point for me. To boot, I am not sharing my meals with anyone else so, the single portion bag is ideal.
I received my bags a few days after I ordered them - which was exceptionally surprising since Covid-19 has delayed the arrival of most of my shipments recently. The bags are beautifully made and easy to work with. The only issue that I discovered is that my Food Saver machine will not seal the bag. I'm not sure if the issue is my Food Saver or that the bags won't seal that way . Regardless, the internet gave me an easy work-around. Using aluminum foil wrapped around the edge of the Bushka's Kitchen bag and a household iron (I set mine to dry heat-2), the bag sealed perfectly.
I think I'm in love with these bags.
