Northern Tier: Sun Protection

[@bobthedog1010]

I am attending Northern Tier In about a month and was wondering If I should use the Sea to Summit Big River Dry Bag, or the SealLine Blocker Compression Waterproof Stuff Sack for my 30-35 Liter Dry Bag, both have there pro's and con's but am curious of your opinion.

Hi! First, I am not personally familiar with either of these specifically. Mine was a Sea to Summit 35L Lightweight Dry Bag. Which is very close to the Sea to Summit Big River Dry Bag. The differences being the Big River bag, as would appear looking at it on the internet, the Big River bag is a heavier duty material and has a strap along the side to lash down the dry bag. Two thoughts, your 35L dry bag will be inside a whale bag, and not likely to get punctured, although it could technically happen. And second, you wont need the strap down the side. Of the two options you mentioned, I would choose the Big Rover Dry bag 35 L. You wont need the compression straps. To make the dry bag smaller, just squeeze out some air before you roll it over to seal the dry bag closed.
