I can pack many meals in baggies for the weight of one freezer bag and three freezer bags weigh about the same as my 3-cup container. To clean the container I just put about a quarter cup of water w/ a drop of camp suds in, snap the lid, shake, empty the wash water out responsibly and then rinse. I like the rigid walls of the storage container better than I do the flexible freezer bag. I also like not having to carry dirty freezer bags in my garbage, especially on longer trips.


You've sure got me thinking there pika..

I do tend to go pretty overboard with the ziplocs, myself.

This may call for another long session of raging aspergers syndrome, spreadsheets, and gram scale fiddling to find the break even point wink
