Hi,
I am wondering for best method of keeping gear in pack dry. Let's assume
steady prolonged rain ..and some wind.
My limited exprience with pack covers is that when it gets real windy it blows off. Perhaps I did not have it properly secured? Don't know.
Do you like to line your pack with garbage bag then everything into zip lock bags? or do you use just a pack cover? or do you use both? I want to keep weight down but I also want to maintain some level of comfort.
What does an exprienced long distance hiker on a long distance hike do to keep weight down and gear dry (and you really need to keep gear dry to keep the weight down right? else the water will make it all heavier!)
So what is your recommendation?
