Hmmm, I know when my failed it wasn't due to vapor as we were only on the water for a couple of hours. I actually purchased a cheap dry bag when I bought the radio (one of those $7 jobs) and am keeping the radio in that for now. What dry bags for radios (or specifically the M1) do people recommend? On another completely unrelated note. I stopped at Rutabaga on the way back from Chicago and purchased a Trangia 27 stove with non-stick pots. Boy, I am hooked, this thing is great. Who knew one could get so excited about a stove. -Patrick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Sep 02 1998 - 10:19:56 PDT
