protect squashy things (food like crisps, sandwiches etc.) whilst in your bag

[chris_irwin]

I was just packing my bag for a Dartmoor mountain biking trip tomorrow, when I suddenly thought of something. Filling a small drybag up with your food and then blow it up with air. release enough of the air to roll the lid down a few times and seal it. The dry bag won't compress enough to squash the stuff inside. I doubt it would last a long time, but might work for a day, saves the weight and bulk of a clip lock container.

I'll try it out tomorrow and see how it works!

i always find my dry bags dont hold air that well, but different brands might do it different

You might be right, my alpkit ones seem to be alright. But I'll try it out tomorrow anyway. Even if it only lasts a few hours, I could always top it up.

I don't really like taking the bulk and weight of a clip lock, so normally I just use a dry bag and let stuff get squashed. So it will probably be a slight improvement over what I'm used to anyway!

If you snaffle a few inches of pringles you can get a hard boiled egg, a couple of pickled onions and some chedder in too!

Don't the crisps go soggy

worked a treat for a good few hours!

I have taken pringles in the past, but doesn't protect my sandwiches!
