Re: [at-l] wow: TWO-gal. freezer-wt. Ziplocks



I made a pack cover from 1.1 silicon treated nylon. It weighed 2 ounces. It was a
fun project. I still don't use it.

Gotta do something in January, though ;)

Silnylon does make great stuff sacks. Good old Quest in Florida - they are very
helpful, too.
