buying a suitable backpack

[Jeffrey Crawley]

A bit more 'up-market' you can get a varient on the waterproof bags the US
Gov developed for the Navy SEALs teams. Instead of being heavily rubberised
it is a softer fabric but you still roll the top down and use one of those
ubiquitous plastic buckles to close it.

Or you can just use the trash bag . . .

As long as you're putting all your stuff in that garbage bag anyway ---
you might consider using that garbage bag to line your pack once you buy
it. I did not have a water proof pack cover. While we didn't experience
a lot of rain, when we did, stuff got wet. I learned that if I lined my
pack with a garbage bag, filled it, then tied it, everything stayed dry.
Buen Camino. Lydia
