Hey there everyone, I was hoping that I could tap the collective knowledge of Paddlewise to find out what I can do to protect my camera when I go paddling. I know that they sell water-tight boxes like "Pelican" brand, but they are pretty expensive. I have been led to believe that this brand (Pelican)is the "standard" so I am wondering if I should just buy one of these. At the same time, I don't want to just pay for the name. I am sure that some of you have storage boxes for your cameras. So I was hoping that you could point me in the right direction. I would like something that will hold my 35mm along with a telephoto lens and a few other things like a flash, film and stuff like that. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help, Dave Gutierrez, Bahrain __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I have bought watertight plastic boxes at either REI or LL Bean, I forget which. They seal tightly with a rubber seal and pressure clamps and are available in several sizes. I know that they were not too expensive or I would have remembered what I paid for them.

Buy the best you can afford and you won't be sorry Dana *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
