For years I have used 10 mil clear plastic bags used for asbestos removable, they fit nicely inside a backpack or bike pannier. by law they have to be indestructible and will last for years with no leaks unless you drag the bag across the camp site. I bought an endless lifetime roll of them years ago when I was guiding wilderness trips and gave them to the trippers.
We had our house fumigated about a year ago and they left us with about 100 Nylofume bags to store our food and when I realized they were the same bags Litesmith sells I was like, jackpot I'll never have to buy pack liners ever again.
About this stuff sac phase of mine It has been 50 years already So I’ll embrace the suck Dry bags to keep gear dry and dry bags to keep wet gear away from dry gear So no pack liner needed My method works for me and keeps me super organized The perfect cure for absent mindedness
Litesmith has several details worked out. They’ve got a great little Nitecore mod for the Nu-25, Trail Toes in various volumes, terrific hammock accessories, and so on.
I use something sort of close to these bags when rain is in the forecast..i get them from my work.....oh well Every ones kits and packs are different..thats why I enjoy gear so much because of differing opinions..keep on making these cool vids bungz..
Thanks for this advice which has been very useful to me. Nylofume bags are so light and tough it's almost unreal. They are priceless, yet so cheap. They truly are the perfect pack liner and you're the first one I ever heard talk about them. Thanks again!
My litesmith liner fail miserably on my last trip And it was the first time using it. The seam at the bottom gets holes in it really easily while I do agree that the litesmith does not stretch where it’s put together is where the issue is for me. I’ll stick with my trash compactor bag gladly. if anyone wants to give there’s up I’ll take theirs as well.
Nice review- I switch back and forth between the lite Smith and thermarest pump sack when I take my neoaire. 2 oz penalty but blows up the pad in three pumps with no mold.
Hiya everyone, would anyone have a hack for fixing the bottom of the liner in a squared off fashion? I find that I lose a small amount of pack volume with the envelope style form of these liners. Thanks y'all
Does anyone now hat Nylofume actually is? I only saw on article that said it was a nylon coated polymer....that could mean almost anything. How does it compare in puncture resistance to the GG bag? i think the GG bag is 2mil thick and made of low density Polyethelene (LDPE) right? How thick is the Nylofume? What happens once you somehow get a puncture in one? Does it loose all its strengh?
The transparency is the only value here. I tried your bag of choice and found it too narrow, the trash compactor bag is wide and long enough and I cut it down a bit to make the fit just right. I haven't worried at all about the liner at all. To each his/her own. Plus my arc haul has no sharp edges inside the pack like my osprey did with the hydration port hook near the top.
same here use a katabatic V40 40l & have no need for a liner since the V40 material is lined with a waterproof coating. it also far stronger than cuben & will not breakdown over time

You should be awarded a medal.

What a great find! Thanks.
As a side note, your reviews are fantastic. I just don't see why anyone would give a thumbs down.

So I’ll embrace the suck
Dry bags to keep gear dry
and dry bags to keep wet gear away from dry gear
So no pack liner needed

The perfect cure for absent mindedness
Love the level of detail, and the emphasis on simplicity in your videos! Thanks!

I never understood the double Velcro roll top system. great review, going to check these out

I need to try this type bag as a liner! Similar to these, I use a turkey cooking bag to keep my sleeping bag in. Nice find! 🤓
KrizAkoni Genius!

Thanks for the great intel.
Thanks, Bungzy...I just ordered some liners and a few other items from Litesmith.
Great reviews. You get to the point quick.

Bought a litesmith - but have not used it yet. Will report back from the Colorado Trail.
Great video. And thanks for the tips. Good, well thought out info.
I got the three pack. Thanks for the information.
Yea I have those bags. They're really for food storage because they block odors. Geat minds...
I prefer the Exped pump sack: durable, easy to compress air out of, dual purpose.
nice.... thanks for sharing. Going to order a set now :)
I like it! Thanks, great advice.
A saw poked a hole in my nylofume bag. Melding two worlds is tough.
Litesmith has some good stuff
Great info as always. Wondering how a 1 mil bag could be stronger than a 2.5 mil compactor bag? I like the clear material.
different materials.. Same reason 1/4 inch of steel might be stronger that a 1/2 inch of pudding :)
clicked on the link after watching and then remembered I already had these bookmarked. definitely getting the 3 pack soon
Next...something less noisy! ;-)
Again another great video! Zpaks is way too damn expensive

Jump to the 4:00 min mark for the liner

The "crunchy" noise these liners make would drive me nuts. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker for me.
Cuben is "the fabric of our lives."
I hate how noisy they are.
Pack liners are for neophytes. Get yourself some HMG pods, son!
Way too expensive
