Now that my backpack is waterproof then why I need dry bags either? Have you got this question? Now let’s explain the advantages of putting the dry bags in backpacks. Read on please…
1. Protect your essentials from being wet. This could happen when it rains or you cross a river or you may put liquid in your backpack that may leak. By putting your gears in separate dry bags can avoid them getting wet.
2. Separate your wet and dry gears. You can put your already dirty and wet gears in dry bags. For example you can put your wet towel in the dry bag after swimming in a lake. By this way you won’t get water around all of your other gears. The other example is to put your tent. You can put the outer section in the dry bag as it is wet and then put the inner section of your tent in another dry bag. So they can be kept separate from each other.
3. Reduce the volume of your backpack. A good example is to pack your sleeping bag. Just threw it into the dry bag then squeeze the air out and finally roll up the top to the minimum volume. This ways can reduce the volume and keep your backpack compact.
4. Pack everything individual sections. You can easily recognize different gears.
5. Give you gears more protection especially when you transport your backpack by car, plane or whatever.
