For low light situations i think getting an attachment with an LED light on it would work, because in the previous streams the only drawback besides D/C from s8 in buildings is the low light performance.

https://www.amazon.com/AMIR-Rechargeable-Adjustable-Brightness-Smartphones/dp/B01N985HG0/ref=pd_sim_107_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N985HG0&pd_rd_r=425SS243P73HQVMCA10Y&pd_rd_w=hqXqy&pd_rd_wg=64VDg&psc=1&refRID=425SS243P73HQVMCA10Y

it doesn't have to specifically be this product but, if it's attached to a wide angle lens and has a LED light it might be perfect unless you want him to get an LED light for the actual selfie stick. (i would much rather prefer Ice switching to the teradek system inside clubs just so the low light performance is the best it can be)

If you are going to be sending like 6 powerbanks (i'm serious send over 5 powerbanks) to easily charge get a multi usb super charger

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YRYS4T4/ref=psdc_12557637011_t2_B00P936188

Of course you want to send more adapters for the different outlets, multiple because the hotels only send him one.

Losing his wallet is shitty content now, plus he will be going to places where there are a fuckton of pick pockets. Solve two problems with this.

https://www.amazon.com/Venture-4th-Travel-Blocking-Passport/dp/B014UULU7M/ref=pd_bxgy_468_2?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01FWC56RW&pd_rd_r=H5N9JTAB5A6T5SGT075J&pd_rd_w=0S218&pd_rd_wg=Oy2iJ&refRID=H5N9JTAB5A6T5SGT075J&th=1

Ice can wear this around his neck, and just pull it out to show ID and take out cash and his credit card, leave his passport with his other shit. Put a reminder to always tuck it back into his tshirt when he isn't using it.

For the weather:

Here is a drypack, so the powerbanks and extra phones/wires don't get wet.

https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Ready-Waterproof-Backpack-Snowboarding/dp/B01BIN27SA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1499109716&sr=8-5&keywords=dry+pack

If that won't work with the teradek backup, just get a poncho

https://www.amazon.com/Frogg-Toggs-Action-Poncho-Blue/dp/B00DIGKQH0/ref=sr_1_7?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1499109863&sr=1-7&keywords=poncho

If tried to find a waterproof case but I'm not sure if they would work with the stick/wide angle lens, since you will be sending him the equipment please look into a something that could both use a wide angle lens on top of a waterproof case.

Also tell him to buy a couple more S8's. I know that is a huge investment but this retard is gonna break everything. And obviously get him unthrottled internet anyway possible.

Goodluck manager.

All jokes aside, its a clean design with an interesting fabric. But I feel like these do the same for a fraction of the cost.

u/UsualRaspberry · 6 pointsr/aspergirls

Why not use a dry sack/bag? They're used in hiking/camping/backpacking to keep things like clothes and electronics dry when you're outdoors and it's wet. But you could use them to keep wet things inside the back from wetting things outside it. The above link is just an example; they come in all sizes.

u/mnemonicmachine · 5 pointsr/EDC

Waterproof or has a rain cover?

Waterproof backpacks generally look like this.

But any pack can have a rain cover...

u/keeto7 · 4 pointsr/bicycletouring

If it's really coming down, I wouldn't trust sandwich bags with your important electronics. I'd recommend something like http://www.amazon.com/ALOKSAK-Water-Sand-Proof-Multi/dp/B001DPY6QK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368305453&sr=8-1&keywords=aloksak

u/Darhol · 3 pointsr/onebag

Stuff like this but literally any dry bag (you can get them as cheap as 5usd at some places) will get the job done.


https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Summit-Ultra-Sil-Dry-Sack/dp/B001Q3KK8C


The scrubba is well known but the price tag is a bit steep for some.

u/xceph · 3 pointsr/bicycling

jersey pocket. Before I had a waterproof phone I would put it in a waterproof bag, now my phone is waterproof so I dont bother.

u/raven457 · 3 pointsr/motocamping

It just so happened that a lot of Eureka stuff was on sale at the time I was shopping, so I look like something of a fanboy.

u/Andimia · 3 pointsr/camping

I agree with u/Jabraltr, ziploc bags are the best. Get a few different sizes and you can organize anything. For sturdier water protection you can get a waterproof bag set which has a few different sizes. I would recommend those for ammunition and mags or electronics.

u/enziarro · 3 pointsr/HelpMeFind

Look up roll-top dry bags. Most of the 'pro' wilderness type shit will be just as expensive as the 'pro' type messenger bags, but this is ~$35 on amazon and there's two smaller sizes for less money.

u/letorthopper · 3 pointsr/cycling

You could also use a cheap dry bag as an insert for any backpack. example

u/cwcoleman · 2 pointsr/CampingGear

Yes, that would work.

Although... if you want something higher quality, check out Sea to Summit brand

u/sdforbda · 2 pointsr/whatisthisthing

I see they offer it with a bag on Amazon too but no mention of what it is https://www.amazon.com/30L-Backpack-Waterproof-Adjustable-Shoulder/dp/B01HZQYRRI

u/Birdknowsbest21 · 2 pointsr/CampingGear

Most of my trips are more canoe based with portaging so we are still trying to go a little light. I use heavier duty 20 Liter rubber dry bags for cookware and misc gear, like my helinox chair things of this nature. Things in these bags are designed to shut up and left outside overnight. (Normally under the vestibule)

For tent gear or for anything really Get Sea to summit event stuff sacks. Spendy but worth it. After you use them, you will wonder why you werent using waterproof stuff sacks all along.

They are compression waterproof bags. They are perfect. I use mine all the time. You can search the comments in the Amazon link for how many liters each bag is. I think I have a medium and large. I use one the smaller one for all my clothes and the larger one for my sleep system. Pad, bag, pillow, tent light etc. I couldnt be happier with them. I then put those stuff bags into my larger portage bag.

For those other things you mention just use a different sized very small dry bags or ziplocks. I keep my toiletries in a ziplock then that goes into one of the dry bags. I find this system of organizing is simple. Easy to remember where everything goes, which helps you lose less things at camp and is fast to pack and unpack.

https://www.amazon.com/Sea-Summit-eVent-Compression-Medium/dp/B000NQQ5A0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499492514&sr=8-1&keywords=event+stuff+sack

Hope this helps

u/FHlogin · 2 pointsr/OregonStateUniv

i just wear regular shoes but i buy a waterproofer from home depot that you can just spray on.

Rain really isnt that bad and dont need to worry about your shoes getting drenched if you waterproof them (even if not, you should be fine) just stay out of the MU Quad becuase its basically just 3 big puddles and you'll have to walk through them, so its easier just to walk around it.

no one really cares if you use an umbrella.. generally people from the area or the PNW are already used to it so they dont really ever use one, they just put their hood on, put their head down and scrunch up their face, but no one really cares..

Also, a big thing you might want to look into is a waterproof backpack, they go a long way. I got this one and it does the job very well. Nothing sucks more than getting to class and having the inside of your backpack be wet.

u/[deleted] · 2 pointsr/saplings

This is what seems to work best, from a purely subjective standpoint:

Get one of those hinge based glass jars with the rubber seals - they are sometimes called Apothecary Jars; you'll recognize the type:

http://www.favorfavor.com/page/FF/PROD/6717ST?cid=froogle&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping%2BSearch


Then get yourself a locking SentrySafe:

http://www.amazon.com/SentrySafe-500-FIRE-SAFE-Cubic-Black/dp/B000W8J75E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1293084247&sr=8-2

If you're really anal retentive about light, use some aluminum foil or something like it to wrap the jar on the outside or inside, but if you keep it locked away in your SentrySafe, it will be dark the vast majority of the time anyway.

Masonry jars might work, but, for them to be airtight, they must be boiled and a vacuum seal must be created. I am not sure if, on their own, they are more, less, or about the same (guessing about the same) in terms of air-tightness as the hinged apothecary jars.

This has the following advantages:

  • Unless you have a shit-ton of cannabis, you can keep your other supplies in there - papers, lighters, pipes, etc.

  • Dark (protects from light) and durable. No one seeing one of those, or you lugging one around even, is going to guess there's anything in there but papers or heirlooms.

  • Can be stacked on.

  • Gives you one (possible) extra layer of Constitutional protection, since it is a locking box. IANAL and all that shit but generally speaking, from what I understand, at very least you're obscuring "plain view." They might need to name locking cabinets and boxes in a warrant. I am not 100% sure. Maybe someone else knows.

  • Keeps g00bers out of your shit on account of the lock.

    If you want to take it one step further, buy a waterproof supply bag from a camping/surplus store, and use this inside the SentrySafe. These do a good job further containing any further odor:

    http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Pouch-Phone-Money-Protect/dp/B001FP0G3A/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1293084566&sr=8-11
u/lameo86 · 2 pointsr/WaltDisneyWorld

Dry bags are relatively inexpensive and last longer than a zip lock bag. They pack down pretty small, if it starts raining or you go on a water ride you can throw your camera in it and throw it back in your bag.

Waterproof bags for things while kayaking

Bible verse lanyard for dad to use when coaching

I just put this book in my own WL, me and my father have a hard time communicating and I think this would be great for dad's who are too busy or too much in dad mode to really be talkative about themselves.

What woman doesn't like smelling good?!

Teachers never have enough bags for carrying things!

Can never go wrong with jewelry or this

And of course writing a real heartfelt letter to them both or just telling your parents when you gift them how much you appreciate all they do and that you love them very much. That would put them over the moon I'm sure!

Happy Shopping.

u/trackpete · 2 pointsr/photography

Pick up a couple small quality dry bags (my Sea to Summit ones have taken an absolute beating and never leaked). Stow your important gear inside those dry bags wrapped in a small towel or clothing (to suck up any humidity) and you'll be completely waterproof.

You can also pick up a custom sort of zip lock bag for your camera (like a camera poncho) to use it in the rain, though it makes things yucky. I always personally preferred to just bring a rugged P&S for rainy stuff.

NEVER leave your camera stored in your main bag while on a bus trip/etc.

ALWAYS sling your messenger bag over your neck. NEVER leave it just slung over your shoulder. Lazily slinging it over one shoulder is just asking for someone to grab it and run (one of the most common forms of crime in South America).

Do remember to always ask people if you can take their picture (that includes pictures of their houses, businesses, etc.). In some parts of rural Peru there are people who will not respond positively to having their picture taken without permission (I've seen some serious shit go down in small villages). Sometimes they'll say no, sometimes they'll ask for money, sometimes they'll be fine with it, but always ask and be cool. If you see kids, ask them who is watching them or ask nearby adults.

Mostly just go have fun and don't forget to make sure you get yourself in some pictures via tripod/etc.!

u/Loco_Mosquito · 2 pointsr/Kayaking

For riding in the cockpit with me, I use this one which has always worked well for me. For stowing things in the hatch, I use ny-sil Sea to Summit bags because they're more lightweight and pack together easier because they don't have a rubberized exterior.

u/awkwardlittleturtle · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Oh, I'm so jealous! I haven't been backpacking in forever! It's such an amazing experience, though. I hope you have fun.

I have a whole WL for camping gear, but this is the cheapest item: waterproof pouch. Our family has a "no electronics" rule when we go camping, so we can focus on nature and each other. But this would be handy for an emergency cell phone, as well as matches, important papers, etc.

u/aftli_work · 2 pointsr/Ultralight

I bring it along in Loksak smell-proof bags. They're not completely smell-proof, but they work well enough and none of my gear smells.

u/Kill825 · 2 pointsr/Military

Get him a few of those write in the rain notebooks. you can probably get them cheaper from somewhere. They may give these out for free now, but I had to buy them when I was in. I have like 5 filled with all sorts of notes and useful shit. Also a decent watch that allows multiple time zones and has a decent count-down timer.

EDIT: One of these would also be useful too.

Another EDIT: This is all stuff I found useful. I was in the Marines back in 04-07, so we had to buy a lot of stuff ourselves. He may get these issued, but it's always good to have extra gear. Saw pouch For saw ammo, but also a good general purpose pouch that can be attached to a pack for extra storage.

Waterproofing bags Was issued one, but bought a few extras. Good for organizing stuff in a ruck.

Other small shit I always found myself buying (Stocking stuffers) AA batteries, 550 cord, duct tape, electric tape, zip ties, map pens, regular pens, new socks, tobacco products.

u/robsonj · 2 pointsr/backpacking

u/54mf · 2 pointsr/bicycling

Are you familiar with military-style dry bags? Something like that but smaller might work. And probably not in olive green.

u/Zooshooter · 2 pointsr/camping

I use one to protect my clothing or my sleeping bag, whichever I feel is more important at the time.

u/glib · 2 pointsr/Fitness

Buy a cheap drybag and fill it with water. When empty, it will collapse down to being pretty small.

Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Waterproof-Phone-Adjustable-Shoulder/dp/B00WUIEK3I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473614270&sr=8-1&keywords=drybag&psc=1

u/ActualRealAccount · 2 pointsr/backpacking

These are great, and waterproof as for size, take measurements and get one a little smaller Than the width of your sac rolled up as tight as you can get it. Length shouldn't be a problem.

Aside from that, get an inexpensive down bag. I have the Kelty Cosmic Down 20. It runs anywhere from $99.00 to $160 depending on where you get it and current sales. Great bag, packs down as small as a football with a compression sack.

u/muadib1974 · 2 pointsr/CampingGear

:) If keeping your laptop dry is all you’re worrying about, those bags are definitely an overkill.

I’d just buy a well made bag with a designated laptop compartment. Make sure your laptop fits in and that the compartment is raised a bit from the bottom so the computer doesn’t bump on the floor when you put the pack down.

For waterproofness, a dry bag will do the trick of guarding your laptop on rainy days.

I have a Sea to Summit Ultra Sil.
Their dry bags are great, super lightweight and compact to nothing, so you can always have it ready in your pack.

u/jch82 · 2 pointsr/TropicalWeather

If you can afford it, I highly recommend these for your important documents:

https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Dry-Waterproof-Adjustable-Shoulder/dp/B00WUIEK3I/ref=sr_1_6?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1536603147&sr=1-6&keywords=dry+bag

I keep all of our important documents in one at all times in bug out bag that I can grab and go in a matter of seconds. Not really for use in a hurricane since you have plenty of time but it is one less thing to worry about.

u/colonelforbins · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

I have an aqua quest bag that I've had for about 2 years. Its holding up well but I doubt it will last for life. I give it another 5 years. But it's cheap!!!

u/thomas533 · 1 pointr/myog

I made one years ago, so I don't have specific instructions, but what I did was buy a cheap silnylon dry sack and a Nylon Barb Fitting Adapter. I cut a small hole in the dry bag, inserted the threaded part of the nylon adapter in there with a bit of silicone caulking, then cinched the nut down tight. Then I connected the barb adaptor to my sawyer filter. Works like a charm!

>4/ It should have LOCKABLE zippers on ALL pockets (if not, you cut fabric in one and access all..)

You do know that you can just cut through the outer fabric too right? Unless there's some wire mesh, most backpacks will not be able to prevent this. Plus zippers can be opened right up with a pen/pencil.

Do you want this just to make pick-pocketing harder? Or are you thinking this will permanently stop people from stealing your bag's contents? If you are worried about the fabric being slashed, the only company that comes to mind is Pacsafe. They make bags that have the wire mesh.

>7/ It should be easy to find locally (no intl order/no long wait) and cost shouldn't be insane (ATD1?)

Where exactly is local? What country are you from?


>8/ It should have a fabric that's surtdy AND waterproof enough.

There is a big difference between water resistance and waterproof.

Water resistance means the pack has zippers and material that will take some rain but can't be fully submerged in water. Waterproof means you can fully submerge the backpack with zero problems.

Do you actually mean a fully waterproof bag? If so, you'll need to look into a backpack made like a drybag. This usually means it will be in the format of a huge bucket roll-top backpack like this one. I can't think of one off the top of my head that has both this feature and has mesh wiring.

An alternative I would suggest since I doubt you'll be swimming with your bag (although you may prove me wrong), is just getting a water resistant bag, or get a rain cover for it. In case you don't know what a rain cover is, it's like a rain coat for your backpack. Just put it on when it's raining and you're good. Here's an example of one. They're light, don't take up much space, and get the job done.

u/Sterling_____Archer · 1 pointr/BuyItForLife

Nope.

You know what will last forever though?

Sea-To-Summit Hydraulic Bags. Based on what I've heard from others, you'll fall apart before the bag will. Plus it's also completely waterproof.

I grind my grains the day before and store them in one of these dry sacks. I also have stopped slowly adding my grains to my mashtun when doughing in after switching from a metal spoon to a large whisk. The whisk breaks up clumps like a spoon can't and since I'm mixing less, I don't have to worry about undershooting my mash temp. A Brewbag makes for easy cleanup and disposal of grains in my mashtun. I'd always end up making a mess trying to dump my spent grains into my trashcan. Plus I don't Vorlauf with it, which saves time when batch sparging.
