However I have found it rare to find one that keeps the air sucked out. After a while they seem to leak air back into them, if you see what I mean, and you are back where you started.<br />I would suggest making covers for the wool stash and using them as sort of hassocks or footstools to rest your weary feet on after a hard days navigating or a hard night's hestering.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699622958354336741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-35915250099687671572017-05-21T00:40:31.556-07:002017-05-21T00:40:31.556-07:00I'm with the vacuum packers...no air = less sp...I'm with the vacuum packers...no air = less space taken! xWinters End Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924495691256051693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-14979272994696230662017-05-18T14:58:02.039-07:002017-05-18T14:58:02.039-07:00Could you use some bags of yarn as ballast?

They don't stipulate any specific sizes for the blankets. <br /><br />I am now near to completion of my second crocheted blanket for them; I made them the size of a single bed or large throw. You have to pay the cost of the postage for the blankets which is why I'm sending two together!Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-24680202307536335422017-05-18T09:35:53.128-07:002017-05-18T09:35:53.128-07:00Just a dustpan and brush, we did have a small rech...Just a dustpan and brush, we did have a small rechargeable vacuum but realised there was no room<br />Hard up Hesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561421853249973134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-66639221479952806462017-05-18T09:34:57.722-07:002017-05-18T09:34:57.722-07:00I see you can get them with their own handpump now...I see you can get them with their own handpump now too so even better.maureenlthompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178068495208176522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690929350463100222.post-24789177094692604492017-05-18T09:32:47.030-07:002017-05-18T09:32:47.030-07:00Do you have a vacuum cleaner on the boat?

I believe they are reusable time after time, just have to suck out the air again if you open them.<br /> maureenlthompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178068495208176522noreply@blogger.com
