[pct-l] MSR Dromlite 4L - any problem with lid leaking

[chelin at teleport.com (Sharon & Chuck Chelin)]

Good New Year's Eve,

My experience with the 4L Dromedary has been nearly the same as Mara's, even
including the recall, except I do not use the hose and bite valve.  I only
use it for bulk storage.  No runs, no drips, no errors:  It has been a good
container, and it makes a good pillow.  I clean and freshen the inside of
mine with a diluted solution of bleach, and so far there have been no
problems with the liner.  Occasionally, the soft threads become sticky and
balky, but a touch of ChapStick fixes that.

Drink up....

Steel-Eye
