Tips and Tricks

I just figured something out. Been using big (one gallon) ziplocks to put
my wet gear in, i.e. boots and waders, when I have to temporarily transport
them with dry items. They are a bit of a pain to use, i.e., one item per
bag.
I got some new pillows last week and they come in a very heavy zippered
plastic bag. These would be great for the temp transport. Just put one in
your gear bag, dump you wet stuff in at the end of the day and poof,
everything stays dry thats supposed to. You also get these things as
packaging on some curtains and blankets.
I also use a "space bag" for my heavy down jacket. They have ones now that
don't require a vaccuum. You put the item in and roll it up. This pushes
out the air. Its stays flat and removes the bulk. This may be good for
those all day trips where you want some rain gear or dry clothes (I
personnally have never needed these) in the back of your vest but don't want
to feel like Quasimoto.
