Drybags

[aussie]

Morning, California

What brand drybag do you use? What size and why? And where's the best price you found one?

Thanks in advance.

I use a shitty one that I bought from cabelas or bass pro shops, it was fairly inexpensive (I'm thinking 20$ or less for a sleeping bag sized one). I also bought that waterproof backpack from costco that someone posted about a year or so ago.

55l is 14.5 gallons, a standard home depot bucket is 5 gallons if that helps tanc. Mine does it's job (it's white with a blue bottom so now I'm not sure where I got it) and I bought it when they have their quarterly sales. If it's something you won't need that often one of the heavy duty home depot trashbags does its job as well.

Tanc,

Swing by your nearest REI they have a drybag that I use when doing the cliffs at PV its red w/ black bacpac straps perfect for doing the trails and such after being in the water. they hold a 62# wsb as well as all your gear
w/out getting you wet/slimey for hike back up. I don't remember how much I paid I think it was like $30-40. Another nice thing about REI products is they carry a lifetime warranty, My mesh dive bag is also from REI and I've exchanged that one about three times in the last 20 years.

I found this bag on Amazon for around $65 two months ago. Haven't used it for climbing the hill yet but will def fit all of your gear and fish. Its almost too big and I wish I had bought the next size down. The back cushion is clutch for extended carrying.

I've got one that Sears use to sell. It's about hte size of a 5gal bucket. Think it was about $20-30. I also have one of the Costco dry backpakcs that went on sale a few years ago but I haven't used it yet....

My Costco dry bag/backpack has served me well but has now begun to let water seep in. I can't tell how it's getting in... I know it must be through some seems, but I can't figure it out

Inflate it and put it underwater and you will know where it leaks

Cabelas Boundary Waters dry bags. I've got six of them up to five years old. I use four for dry storage on the boat, and the other two for ditch bags. They are tough as hell, easy to repair if damaged, and relatively inexpensive.
