Can the infamous ziplock bag be made better?! In this video I test a major hack for making your own any-size ziplock bag... but does it work?
If there was a way to save some backpacking weight, reduce my plastic waste, and save me some pennies then I'm all for it! And that's why I HAD to test out this trick for ziplock bags to see if its the newest Backpacking Hack!
I definitely think I could have done a few things differently. In the end, using an actual torch may have helped get the hanger hotter which may have made it work better. Also, as I went along I definitely got better, so it takes some practice! I've made a few more since making this video and have definitely found it to be more successful, but its still not 100%.
**UPDATE: After filming this video I continued to practice this technique and got better and better at it. I was able to make quite a few water-tight ziplock bags, but could only do it consistently with the freezer bags.
So a little bit of practice goes a long way! Hope you guys like the video! What would you use this for in your backpacking kit? Do you know any good backpacking hacks? Let me know below!
And as always...
Keep Moving Forward!
