    Do you recommend using a Backpack Liner, my daughter has small dry sacks, would she need a waterproof liner.

    Hi Rhonda
    We didn't use a backpack liner but had all our gear in either separate dry sacks or plastic bags. Made it much easier to pack everything in the backpack if its all in separate bags. We had rain for a lot of our trek so our backpacks had their covers on all the time but even so, would still use bags for everything inside. I tried to keep most of my clean clothes as dry as possible and completely separate from all the dirty stuff. I took 3 sets of trekking clothes, some getting worn for 3 days at a time (they were pretty smelly by then). The one set of clean clothes lasting the 8 days, and I looked after them like they were gold!! Best thing was being able to have a wash at the end of the day and put something clean and dry on.

    Hey,
    Go to the local vet and pick up a large body bag for $2.50 as a pack liner. Much better value and they are better anyway. A bit gruesome I know but they are great.
