Vacuum storage bags for filament: a good fit!

I got some of the bags like this to store my filament in and they work great! As long as you seal it up decently, you can vacuum out most of the air with a household carpet vacuum and it does pretty well in keeping the moisture out. I have a 40g reusable (heat in oven) dessicant from Amazon in there as well, and I think it does okay but I would rather have like 5 of the dessicant packs if I could afford more. I also have this meter inside the bag and --guess what-- the meter fits PERFECTLY in the center hole of a standard 1 kilo filament spool! Overall, it is keeping the moisture at 22 percent according to the meter (after baking the filament for 4 hours at 100 C the other day), which is pretty good considering the humidity outside the bag is 65+ percent!
