[pct-l] idea for waterproof pack liner

[cmkudija at earthlink.net (cmkudija@earthlink.net)]

Great minds think alike - and we've scooped Switchback!  I saw the ad for
those monster ziplocs and thought, hmmmnn, pack liner!  And I miss those
stand-up bags - those were particularly useful, but I guess I didn't buy
enough.  The "jumbo" size also worked very well as a clothing bag (for extra
protection for insulation & socks).  They can still be special ordered
directly from Johnson & Johnson's website.

you will know how low it was.

Ziploc makes a new "big bag" in XL and XXL sizes.  The XXL looks like it
would be *perfect* as a pack liner (in lieu of a garbage bag).  The material
is thick and strong and it actually zips up at the top --- completely
waterproof!

  Remember a few years ago Ziploc made quart-sized bags that were thick, you
could pour water in them, and they would stand up?  These big bags seem
identical to those old quart bags (except of course these are way bigger).

  Worth looking into!
