    That's not fair. I was assuming it either constantly rained or was always overcast. Not fair. Homer Simpson says "Doh!"

    I guess we know what happens when I assume.

    Hahhaha. Yep. If you look closely, you can see the edges on the left are wet. Had it in some plastic bags in the canoe. Plastic garbage bags do not make good dry bags.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    That's something everyone has to find out for themselves....they see the cost of a dry bag...and think "I can just use a garbage bag...."

    Lol yep. Those things are pricey! My sleeping bag was in a dry bag but I gave my heavy bag to my sister (from Texas) so was just going to use this blanket to supplement my light weight bag if it got cold.

    Using trash bags, yer sposed to put a bag in a bag. Secured separately and independently. And that in another one, and that in another one, and that in another one...on and on...use the whole box...
