1. Stick the nozzle of the vacuum inside of the bag.
2. Wrap your hand over the nozzle and bag to create a seal. (Make sure there is no leaks.)
3. Turn on the vacuum on, and when you feel your clothes are small enough, take the vacuum nose out and QUICKLY tie a tight knot to seal everything.
Done! Now you can relax and think about your upcoming trip. Enjoy!
