    I used the cheapo dry bag versions Wally world sells for mine. I know others have used sea to summit bags, which I will probably switch to.

    BTW - Welcome to White Blaze!!

    I use the plastic bag that the grocery store puts the groceries in. They are cheap, light and easily replaced.

    I like the ultra light silnylon bag and rope that Backpacking Light sells. It has a large Odor prof zippy inside. It will hold up to 10 lbs of food
