I kept my sleeping bag inside a pocket shower (a dry sack with a
shower nozzle at one end) or inside a trash compactor bag. I kept the
rest of my gear in other trash compactor bags. Simply twisted at the
top and even with a few punctures, I swam across a couple of Sierra
streams (yes, literally swam with my pack under water -- bear cans
work well as flotation devices) and none of the contents of my pack
got wet at all.
So knowing that my stuff will stay dry, I happily pack full water
containers inside my pack. It hurts less than when they pull me
backwards when packed in an outer pocket.

I also using 4 or 5 1 litter Platypus bags. The possibility of
occurrence of puncture of all the bags at once is zero. I change old
bags to new ones once a year. It is easy to count the amount of water.
At tent site, I need 2 litter for dinner, 1 litter for nighttime, 1
litter for morning coffee. Platypus bags are not expensive, compact,
replaced easily, connected to MSR water filter. I put 1 litter bag
into the top lid and use as a hydration system. I like this bag.

Hi Brian
Much as I would like to have everything on my iPhone I'm a bit skeptical
about the usefulness of this. I often fail to hear my iPhone if it's in my
pocket. Inside a pack it would be inaudible. Outside my pack it would be
easily stolen especially if the felon pressed the mute button first.
I think there was an app that claimed to scare off bears. The one time I
needed to do this I have to make a lot more noise than my iPhone could have
done before my visitor turned away.

I'll be away from email access for a few months so if you could take me off
the email list, it would be really helpful. Thanks.
