RE: [Paddlewise] Dry bags

As a canoe camper I've used the larger size "backpack" style bags. It is 
nice if there are long portages to be able to hoist one pack on my back. I 
do, however, usually pack them with numerous smaller bags such as the OR 
stuuf sacks. In addition to double protection in case of a leak it is a lot 
easier to live out of a bunch of small bags.

I haven't yaked yet and have a question.

Do you yak'ers carry a large empty bag to place the smaller bags in for 
portages etc. Or is there a better way to avoid numerous trips ?

THANKS,
Hal

I've found the really huge bags to be handy for carrying gear from the
landing point to the campsite, and also as a form of floatation, beyond 
that
they make great gag gifts  ;-)
