We carry our clothing in a transparent waterproof duffle pack (goes inside the Sealine bag) and I always sit on it to compress it before I close it up.  Great way to make a bag smaller!   :)

Yes, Tim, we follow MSU hoops.  We are going to the game with Oakland tonight.  We don't have season tickets, though.  Just lucky to have a friend who offered us a couple tickets tonight.  

We still have a Duluth pack that we bought used from Canadian Waters in 1971.  And are using the cook kit we bought (new) from them in 1973.  THAT I would sometimes like to upgrade, but probably won't.  At 65+, I don't think I'll need to trip with new stuff.  Well. . .someday, a new knee, probably.
