This is it folks. We've done our best to save you from another Christmas filled with bad sweaters, socks and handkerchiefs. Actually, we do have socks on the list but they're really good socks. Anyway, we've done our part. Now it's up to you to figure out how to get this episode on to the smart phones and iPods that belong to your friends and family.

Thanks so much for the pack recommendations, guys. As you hit upon in the segment, this wouldn’t be for 100% daily use, but mainly for days when there’s a threat of rain, so I can put up with a little quirkiness if I can be guaranteed water protection. Both the SealLine and the Ortlieb are exactly the types of packs I’m looking for. I’ll check them out. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for contributing the question to the show Mike. We’re glad we could help.
I second the Ortlieb and SealLine recommendations. I use an Ortlieb duffel and a SealLine drybag for m/c camping, and they are great! I also have had a pair of Orlieb panniers for my bicycle for several years, and they hold up well. The only quibble I have with Orlieb is in the design of their motorcycle bags. The hanging straps seem a bit spindly, but the bags themselves look quite sturdy.
