These expandable bags can be a bit confusing. That’s why we’ve decided to forgo the witty writeup and instead provide a simple FAQ:
How large of a bucket will I need to submerge the pouch in so that it has enough room to expand to its full size?
You actually don’t need a bucket or water or anything. With both the Duffster and the Backpacker, all you have to do is unzip the pouch and then they’re ready to expand! And what’s more, each comes with a reusable City Bag with the capacity of 2-3 normal plastic bags!
I noticed that there is no air pump included. Am I expected to provide my own?
No, once again, all you need to do is unzip these eco-friendly PVC/BPA free bags. You don’t need any additional equipment: no buckets, no air pumps, nothing!
I have a bit of a weak microwave. Should I add a few seconds to the cook time to ensure the bag is fully popped?
Cook time? What? Look, I don’t know how to make this any clearer: these things just UN-ZIP! Seriously, that’s it. You know the zipper thing? You just pull it open, and then you JUST PULL OUT THE BAG! WITH YOUR HANDS! AND THEN YOU’RE FINISHED! It’s really that simple.
My car was built before airbags were a requirement, so I’ve just got a Duffster taped to my steering wheel. What’s the maximum impact these Sacs of Life can protect me against?
Okay, forget it. I’m done here.
