RE: Keeping sleeping bags dry

I carry a 4 mil trash bag if I think there is any possibility of rain.
It also makes a nice small ground cloth. It just goes in as a pack
liner. I've not had much luck with pack covers. I've never had a bag get
wet but I'll also be the first to say that rain isn't all that much of a
problem most of the places I pack. I've used the OR Deluxe stuff bags
(light dry bag) if I know the pack is going under water (stream/pool
crossing).

Jerry,

What do you do to keep your sleeping bag dry if you just stuff it into
your
backpack?

I've been stuffing bags straight into packs for about 35 years. I've not
snagged one yet. The stakes ride in a sil pouch in an outside
pocket....with the TP. The only metal in my pack is the Ti teapot with
the stove inside. There just isn't anything in there to snag it.
