Can I drag these bags (unable to lift). I need to clear out my basement and I'm unable to carry the bags up the stars.

Depends upon how much weight you have in there how sharp the items are and what your floor that you're dragging it across it. Not so sure anything woll drag up stairs without tearing but these are some of the most durable bags I've come across

These are very strong bags of better plastic than most. They can be dragged but not over sharp objects or rocky surfaces. No bag is going to take that kind of stress.

The 6.0 Mil bags are VERY durable and you can drag them depending on the surface that you have and the load you are carrying.

Not really. You could rest them on the bar at the top, stabilizing the item(s) while you descend or mount. I usu have someone hand me heavy items once I am up on the ladder or hand things down to someone.

Yes, I love these bags. They are very sturdy and it makes it so much easier that I can carry them with straps over my shoulder. I fill them to the max and carry them over my shoulder. It makes it easier to carry them over my shoulder when they are heavy. I've not had any problems with them falling off my shoulders.

Kiera,I would not use space bags for anything anymore. I've had nothing but problems with these. I thought they had made improvements recently, but I still have a 99% failure rate. I've tried everything, but with no luck. I thought they might be good to pack for a recent move, but they re-inflated and pushed the box they were packed in wide open. I'm sure others have had good luck with these, but I would stay away from them.

yes they can, but please note that these are not waterproof bags. They are really water resistant stuff sacks.

Yes, they can. I am on my third one. My husband is the one who put them up and took them down, and he didn't have much trouble. I believe he just scraped the residue off with a putty knife.

I don't think so. I move them to vacuum and they don't seem all that bad. Of course I wouldn't want to move the very far every day. I'm in my 60's and don't need any help to move them. Hope this helped.

You just have to pull. I was trying to be delicate as to not break it but it's ok to just yank. Honestly I returned mine it didn't work at all.

yes you can. these are a good quality bag. and they are very durable plus they are light weight so you don't carry extra weight.

I have never tried doing this. I am not sure, but I see others have already addressed your question. I'm sure it could be done if you transfer the contents into one of the FoodSaver type bags and omit the vacuum step like someone else mentioned.

Not unless you are carrying it. The wheels are not sturdy enough to hold it by the handle and "drag" it up. You would have to lift it over the stairs. The bag and frame are good, Just not the wheels

They are in a channel on the frame, so they dont lift when you push down on the loader. I use mine just as much as the bucket and have had no issues so far.

No, they're not. There are also no handles so the unit is quite difficult to move. We are looking for laundry bags to put inside each section.

The bags are sewed onto thin rods with ends that are curved so that they "fit" onto the hanging rods that connect the two ends. this way each bag can be lifted up and dumped into the washer - I guess -. I don't do it that way but you can.

They are fairly tough. I have 4 in an overnight comfort/survival sling pack that is strapped to each of out ATV's Last year I wrecked on an ATV and cracked some ribs. It was very hot that day here in Okla. My two sons got the machine off of me. The pack was under the machine. Bags did not bust open. I think you will be fine with packing them in home made MRE.. Good idea by the way. Wouldn't hurt to make one up then throw it around some and see how they hold up.

Hello Madison, First let me say that I love these bags. They really save on space. I cannot quote a weight limit for you, but my experience is to only place items in these bags that are compressible. You can load up these bags, but don't use the handles. Too much weight and the handles will tear out. Why not put your books in a box or cover them with plastic. Use your space bag for compressibles. This will also avoid the sharp edges of books that might tear the Space Bag. Good luck!

No John, they are very troublesome. I think our machine just stopped working and we got rid of it. The bag fits, it didn't expand and fill up. It seriouslt may have been our cleaner and there is not a thing wrong with the bags. like I said, they fit well
