One of the joys of car camping is the ability to lug along a big cooler with all of the meat and booze you can imagine. But for backpackers, carrying along the extra weight of, say, a wine bottle is usually out of the question. That's where the PlatyPreserve comes in. Not only does this handy little pouch protect the taste of an opened bottle by completely eliminating the presence of oxygen, it also folds up into practically nothing when it's empty. So there's no more feeling guilty about taking up space in your pack with a heavy empty wine bottle, or no more desperately trying to get the taste of white wine out of your plastic water bottle. As good as this is for backpackers, we'd also recommend the PlatyPreserve for car camping. Fill it up at home, and you don't have to worry about breakable glass bottles at your campsite…or in your big cooler.
