I can't recall seeing much discussion on this, and so would like to solicit some advice from the good folks on this list. I have used one of the roll-top backpack/drybag things without problem for flatwater pursuits. However 5 or 10 minutes immersion in flowing water and exposure to sundry accompanying riverine forces allowed enough river into my bag to dampen the contents, which included some sthuff which I had REALLY hoped to keep dry (that's why I put it in the drybag in the first place, right?). No real problem THIS TIME, but . . . So. Question then: when it really must stay dry, wadda ya do? Must I "double-bag" everything for insurance? Any drybag style clearly superior? Any dryness prayers or appeasements to the river gods I need to invoke? TIA! ByeBye!
