Thanks for that Doug. I'll take a look at your review of abandon ship bags. My only concern with dry bags is that I don't keep the survival gear in the airplane so it gets a lot of wear and tear being moved around. I was concerned that a dry bag may not stand up to the wear but then again I have no experience with dry bags. I just want to be sure that if I ever have to ditch...the survival stuff goes with me, rather than to the bottom of the sea.
