Not to worried about putting a hole in a granite gear water bucket rather getting it hung and having it yank me off my feet. I hang my sandals back there and never had a problem. Of course there's always a first time isn't there :exclamation

In the past I've always just put it away wet. Don't recall too much in the way of negative consequences either. But I have a new system this coming year.(No hassle, no stress, no digging around for stuff......everything categorically grouped via various sized waterproof duffels).

I'll have to give that water bucket hanging off the back of my pack a good hard look. Maybe I can snug it down with a shock cord of some sort (something else to get hung up  ;D )
