Well no, just too much trouble, then he stepped into a hole in a creek he was crossing up to his chest, and his expensive new phone was soaked. We tried all the treatments but to no avail. An expensive loss a zip lock bag would have prevented.
Yep. When I backpack, I put my wallet, phone, etc in a heavy duty ziplock bag and put the zip lock in a waterproof bag designed for kayakers. I do the same with my eReader (kindle paperwhite these days). The kayak bag goes in the top pocket of my pack with my rain gear. I've never had a problem and I'm been using this system for a number of years.
