[QUOTE="Salmonchaser, post: 1587150, member: 107697"] Yes. All kind of reasons going in it makes sense. Waterproof stuff sacks ( dry bags) work well too and are reusable. I use both methods. When I'm guiding up there I've got a complete set; socks, long johns, beanie and an insulated layer, vacuum sealed under the port forward seat of my boat. I have a similar vacuum sealed bag that goes in my day pack when we go on Flyouts. I also use a drybag with additional gear I leave where the floatplane drops is off. Stuff in that drybag has been vacuumed for years, still sealed. My day pack for elk hunting has a vacuum sealed bag with socks long johns and beanie. It's at least 10 years old, probably should open it up and check. I carry two fire starting kits. A ziplock baggie for my lunch fire and a vacuum sealed one for sh.. just got real. Horse back wilderness hunts I like smaller drybags, keep my gear sorted then all the bags fit in a larger bag to go on the horse. I think I would be inclined to use drybags with some limited vacuum sealed bags on your sheep hunt. Use brightly colored bags. [/QUOTE]
