[at-l] Cameras and sweat

[Atcamel@aol.com (Atcamel@aol.com)]

I've found that putting a camera in a Ziploc bag works fine.  I've never had 
a problem with rain or sweat.  On the PCT last year, I decided to put my 
camera in a Ziploc bag and a small Golite stuff sack in my pocket.  At Rae's 
Lakes in Kings Canyon NP I put my camera-filled stuff sack down for a few 
minutes to filter water.  My camera was gone when I returned!  Evidently a 
marmot stole the stuff stack.  The vermin either thought it was a food bag or 
took it for the sweaty drawstring.  The worst part was hiking through the 
high Sierra without a camera.  I didn't realize the California trails were as 
rough as New York City.
