Vacuum assisted storage device

A vacuum assisted backpack device, the backpack device comprising:

• a body having a base, a first wall, a second wall, a third wall internal to the body, and a fourth wall internal to the body, wherein the first wall and the second wall are coupled to the base and third wall and second wall form a first storage compartment and the fourth wall and the first wall form a second storage compartment;
• a vacuum compartment bounded by and located in-between the base, the first storage compartment, and the second storage compartment;
• a vacuum compartment fastener configured to govern access to the vacuum compartment by removably coupling portions of the first wall to the second wall;
• a vacuum container configured to be received within the vacuum compartment, the vacuum container defining a vacuum storage cavity, and the vacuum container comprising an air impermeable material;
• a vacuum cavity fastener governing access to the vacuum storage cavity, the vacuum cavity fastener forming a removably air tight seal that is configured to be sealed and unsealed;
• a vacuum pump positioned within the second storage compartment proximate to the base and in communication with the vacuum storage cavity, the vacuum pump operable to pump air out of the vacuum storage cavity;
• an air conduit connecting the vacuum pump to the vacuum container, the air conduit passing from the second storage compartment into the vacuum compartment;
• a first shoulder strap and a second shoulder strap coupled to an exterior side of the third wall so that the third wall separates the first shoulder strap and the second shoulder strap from the first storage compartment.
