Dry Bags

Went fishing with Lively Baits the other day and had a great time! While we were out I mentioned that I had a "Dry Bag" that really met my needs. "Post it!" he cried, so here it is...

The one on the left is my emergency kit. On the right my wallet, cell phone, license, keys, etc go into this thing every trip and I have yet to get anything important wet. However, they DO FLOAT! Also, being hard plastic, they are not susciptable to puncture like the overpriced ziplock dry bags.

Hope this helps
Bob

I have a peanut butter jar attached to the rear hatch in my T140. The jar fits in that small round hatch. I attached it with a thin line, drilled a small hole through the top of the jar, pushed the line through and knotted/siliconed the line on both sides of the top.

Now it is captive in the kayak. Makes a great place to store things like keys, wallet, etc. that you won't be using while out on the water but must take with you.

Tip - over time, the plastic will crack - at least my first one did. I solved that by wrapping duct tape around the jar.

Some of us simply must accessorize with prettier stuff. Bob - the plastic jars are a great idea, but Rik, duct tape? Sheesh.

I'm going to start saving my jars for poor 'ole Rik.

Back in 1929, I learned to save everything.....
