    Anyone try a bag alarm?

    I agree with Alipilgrim; many times there was not even a broken hook to keep my things dry. I had to perform some miracles of piling and balancing everything in a dry spot or something that could be used as a bench...Take ziplock bags because you'll need them, for sure... :wink:
