I have owned/own Duluth Packs, Bills Bags, Watershed and various dry bags. The idea of using a 70L backpacking backpack with smaller dry bags inside, instead of two 60L Bills bags, seams like it would be great in the ADK or Boundary Waters for portaging. A hiking backpack is more comfortable than what we customarily use. I would put stuff I did not care if it for wet month outside of the backpack. I tried packing one and I can get all my crap in/on it.
Anyone do this? The one negative I can think of is if the padding gets wet on the backpack how long will it take to dry?
