Letter Re: Advice on G.O.O.D. Bags

Hi there,
Do you have an opinion on what is the best G.O.O.D. ^[1] bag?

1. Waterproof?

2. Backpack?

3. Multiple ways to carry it?

4. Wheels?

Thanks and keep up the good work. – KJ

JWR Replies: Unless you have a bad back, I’d recommend waterproof whitewater rafting “dry bags” in a backpack configuration, like this one ^[2]. It is prudent to get them in earth tone colors–or at least spray paint them to tone them down. And, as mentioned before in SurvivalBlog, anyone with a bad back should consider a small wheeled cart or even a wheeled golfing bag.
