"Hellsgate Wilderness" in Arizona..... and the upper "Subway" in Utah are Both on my agenda in the next 60 days. As those of you "In the know" there is lots of pools so swimming and wading is mandatory. Hellsgate you cant help but swim on and off for about 5 miles....in and out of the water constantly.
Once again Im thinking there just has to be "something" better for keeping my lenses completely dry and safe than multiple dry bags and the ever present Freezer zip lock bags.
Ive tried a couple different small dry boxes and they always seem to leak somewhere. Weight is of great importance , yet a sacrifice has to be made somewhere.
In the past I use about 3 zip-lock bags for each lens and then everything in a dry bag , then all that in a supposed waterproof plastic box that always leaks.
Is this what actually works ? What do others do when they must go swimming with their gear for 2-7 day trips ?
Im talking about 1 body and two or three Manual lenses + a few small accessories.
There just has to be something "Bombproof" and "Waterproof" that isn't so cheesy as zippy bags and cheap Wally world dry boxes and ultralight dry bags ?
I even had a smaller pelican box leak......Im lost as far as what to do other than keep going just like described above with multiple zippy's and dry bags ?
I feel so cheap and yet cheated out of some product Im overlooking.....?
Here is a quick look at Hellsgate...not me and it doesn't show the extent of the water Holes at all.... 23 miles of wet hell.....lol.
