learned about the plastic wear from the farm workers in Wellton, they take a big trash bag and cut a head opening and the arm openings and make an instant rain coat and it would be warm too.

Before being injured I used to like to backpack quite a bit. I got to where I didn't pack raingear because the plastic trash bags did the trick just fine like you said. And there were at least 5 dozen uses for a couple of extra trash bags, whereas the rain gear was more limited. Gotta pack light when you're haulin' ALL your supplies on your back!

You are right and plastic bags should be in all the bug out bags.

LOL, you put supplies in your back pack?? I always over filled mine with rocks and that was one thing Bill refused to do, was carry my rock bag.

He only wanted to haul out the choice ones for lapidary, but not I, if they were weird enough, I thought of ‘crafts’...
