Have you ever encountered the ‘deep sigh and rest your forehead in palm’ moment, otherwise known as when you cursed water for being wet. The moment when you were on camp or an outdoor adventure with mates and one of them has either previously learned their lesson the hard way or is just a little more prepared and intelligent than yourself. This becomes obvious when they unpack their dry belongings from their dry bag, which is conveniently waterproof. “Why didn’t I think of that?” was the question going through my mind as I was fishing my soaked belongings from the water and tried to climb back into a tipped kayak.
If you spend any sought of time on the river, or ocean, doing activities such as boating, fishing, or water sports then you will quickly become appreciative of all a dry bag has to offer. It’s a 100% waterproof bag that will guarantee to protect all its inner contents. The dry bag floats, unlike most bags that would sink before you realise it’s even missing. The welded seams and roll top make it impossible for water to enter the bag. Made of environmentally material, the dry bag is durable and heavy duty.
I have a 5liter dry bag for daytime trips on the boat, in which, I generally carry:
- Small towel
- Swimmers
- Camera
- Phone
- Car keys
Bigger bags are available, such as the 12 liter, 20 liter, 30 liter and 40 liter. They also sell other waterproof gear that all water sport, and boating/fishing fanatics are bound to love; such as waterproof phone cases, ipad cases, mp3 cases, duffel bags and backpacks. Having a dry bag is the difference between having wet clothes and wet electronics, versus safe, dry clothes, and electronics.
When in smaller boats like tinnies or kayaks, it’s easy and common for bags to go overboard.
