I should have qualified my remarks. I use the garbage bag to actually to keep from loosing the water in case of a leak as opposed to keeping things dry. It's dry enough in the Guadalupes that my gear would dry out in a short time anyway.

On a serious note, I had an experience where one of my water containers developed a leak and the garbage bag retained the water. I was glad to have the setup otherwise I would have lost about a liter or more.
