This was supposed to go straight to the list but ended up in Chucks mail box by mistake. I've made about a dozen different sized bags from the material that they make rain coats and poncho's out of. . These bags have the roll top like a dry bag and after several years of service they are still good. I think they worked out to about $2 a bag. I always use a heavy duty garbage bag as a liner though. These bags have seen a lot of use in the kayak and on camping trips etc. I also have a Sealine Dry Bag that split at the edges where you roll the top down. It lasted about a year before it split and it cost about $80 from memory. Cheers Wilky A firm believer in make it yourself, then you have no one else to blame if it goes wrong. PS. It is official. We did not have a summer here in Tas. To have a summer you have to have 4 days above the average summer temp and we missed out :-( *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
