After destroying $400.00 worth of equipment while swimming with my Grizzly I deceided to look for an alternative. I flipped my grizzly in a creek. When we got back to the shore the hard case on the back of my Grizzly held the water in (Murphyism: Waterproof cases will only hold water in...not out.) The water destroyed my digital camera, cell phone, and a bunch of other equipment.
Search for the solution: Now that I ride a horse well technically a Grizzly I realized that I no longer have to carry all of my stuff on by back. (As I did with while hiking or riding my Trials Motorcycle) So, I could allow myself a few more ounces of weight.
I went to REI and looked into waterproof cases. They had a fair assortment. The nice part is that I could put the gear I wanted to protect on the foam to see how it would fit. This case cost me about $35.00. They were a little cheaper on the web but I was in a hurry and enjoyed the convenience of inspecting the case before buying. My brother in law said that he has used these cases in the past and has been very happy with them. He said that they are 100% waterproof.
I have attached a picture of the "Pelican" brand waterproof case. I have customized it to hold my more delicate electroics. Bottom: cell phone, Right GPS (even though it is waterproof), Batteries, the hole on the upper left holds my digital camera. It was busy taking the photo at the time of this picture.
Now before I make a questionable water entry I put my electroics in the protective case.
My wife says that I worry too much. I say "Worrying helps, most of the stuff I worry about never happens!!"
