Electronics storage for the long haul

If you must….

Probably bubble wrap. It can withstand the Tourister Apes, and is mostly air.

Bubble wrap … good idea. Thanks.

(Unfortunately need the phone before/after hiking, but not during. An iPod is the only way to tolerate any kids on the plane … besides plenty of drinks)

I use a small cuben drybag. I keep things like medicine, cell phone, toilet paper, Steripen,… I pack it in a side pocket while hiking for easy access.
Pack it deep in my sleeping bag when flying/traveling to avoid damage.

Oh and I often keep my cell phone(Android) separate in a small Aloksak. It is my GPS, camera, …

Hi,

I use Exeped Crush Dry bags for my electonics.

Cheers,

Instead of one of those heavier zip-top bags with silicone dry packs that are sold at REI, I used a zip-loc bag for my Kindle. Into it I added several of those "Do Not Eat" packets that I had saved at work—from prescriptions and from our lab materials packets. Those things are ubitquitous these days, if you are friendly with your local pharmacist or hospital lab technician, I bet you could get some for free. Wasn't excessively rainy on my trip, nor did I drop my gear in a creek, so don't know how well it works. I also include a couple of those packets in my camera zip-loc. The Lok-Sak would be sturdier, and likely more waterproof. I might have to try that this summer.

I also use the desiccant packs. I buy them in bulk and add one to every bag of dehydrated food.
I also keep one in every dry bag to absorb the condensation that happens when the temperature drops.

I don't recommend using zip lock bags for anything expensive as they can pop open with the slightest pressure. I double bagged my camera and pressure from a fall or something caused the seal to pop open.
It was raining hard and before I realized it, my camera was dead.

Aloksak's and drybags are better.

I am surprised at how durable and watertight cuben drybags are considering their weight.
