Thanks for the tip Z, i'll definitely keep that in mind when it starts raining... they'll probably be packed a little bit higher/tighter when we actually leave with food etc. i guess i'll play it by ear
i'm in the habit of packing everything inside in large ziplock bags anyway if any water does trickle in! Can't wait!!!!
