I'm making my first trip in August. Planning to put my stuff in my backpack (that I uses for backpacking). I have some individual waterproof bags. But, I'm also thinking about using a trash compacter bags as a liner. I use this when backpacking, but don't have to worry much about tying it at the top.

I was wondering if there is a "best" way to tie the bag when using it as a liner on a canoe trip.

I'm really excited about my first trip....4 of of heading out for 6 days in early August.
