[pct-l] keeping your bag dry

[bholt at ix.netcom.com (Bill Holt)]

And my experience from hiking the Coast north of Mendocino is you will have crossing issues and you, your bag and your pack are at risk for total immersion.

........
Plastic bags are fine for preventing rain that enters your pack from soaking 
your sleeping bag, but they do not do total immersion worth a damn. If you 
plan to use a boat, fall into a stream or must cross hip-deep water, your 
bag is at risk unless you are using one of these Advanced Hydroseal sacks.

.....does anybody have any ideas/advice to share on keeping down bags 
dry/yourself warm if that fails?
