I always carry my food in dry sacks, not so much to keep it dry, but because they’ve been the most convenient way to handle large amounts of food on long hikes. However, I’ve always struggled with the regular sacks, as their narrow openings make access a bit awkward. So I wanted to try making a more rectangular one with a larger opening for easier access. This is the first actual prototype with some process pics.

Finally after 11 months my Hilltop Packs' dry bags arrived. Not the fault of Hilltops, but USPS. The originals are now probably being sold on a street market in Egypt.

Hilltops did me a replacement set.

So, noch ein #Drybag… kann man 2024 nicht genug von haben.
Best #camping and #backpacking #drybag ever: the inside of a Starbucks Traveler, cut open, washed and dried, with a piece of #ducttape over a length of scrap paracord. 100% waterproof (ocean kayak proven).

True. ☝️ Yeah I'll keep the accessories minimal. Not going on long trips anyway. Not anytime soon, at least. 🙃

If I ever go on a long day trip with a group and need to pack extra, an alternative is to strap my 5L #drybag to the handle bar. Maybe* a small pannier bag that goes over the frame in front of me if it won't be in my way when I pedal. Plus my light #backpack. That's it.

My old #Blackrapid strap's shoulder pad has a new life with my dry bag's strap. The Blackrapid strap was old & worn so I ditched it but I kept the shoulder pad (which has one zippered pocket).
