    Like "Ryan_S" we to use the SealLine water proof bags. We've used them on top of the Jeep rack and on multi-day canoe trips. Great product and they do what they are suppose to do, keep your gear clean and dry.

    About 25 years ago I converted from dry bags to plastic barrels. I've never regretted it. Have taken my barrels everywhere including the Grand Canyon and South Nahanni. Harcostar barrels are blowmolded and nice but I've also used the rectangular ones available from US Plastics. I bought my Harcostars in the UK for $5 each and the US Plastics ones were about $20. US retailers are way overcharging for the barrels. Barrels or drums are more durable than bags. My barrels get thrown around a lot and I don't have to worry about cactus spines. I use a 30 gallon barrel for light weight things like tents and sleeping bags and 15 gallon barrels for other stuff.

    I have a huge (24"x24"x60")Cabela's bag that was given to me 10+ years ago, perimeter zipper with a double flap. It has held up remarkably well, having logged 1000's of miles full of gear and beer. Generally I use it as an over-bag, packing the inside with daypacks, duffles, coolers, ect. It's not water tight if you tossed it into a lake, but it's kept the insides dry on a 800 mile interstate run through hurricane weather, strapped to the reciever platform.

    I swear by my seattle sports dry bags. They've stayed completely dry inside even when I've capsized my canoe. I take a small one backpacking so I can keep my clothes dry and it works great as a pillow too. I don't know if sierra trading still has them (its been almost 10 years since I got mine) but they used to sell the cosmetically defective ones at a pretty good discount.
    X2 Second the motion for Seattle Sports Dry Bags..... Have 2 extra large and they have never leaked... (Dirt Dust or H2O)
