    Waterproof document case

    I have multiple dry bags, all with rounded bottoms. It’s awkward and inefficient when using them to hold a 2” document binder.

    Does anyone make a soft-sided “flat” dry bag that fits something like a trapper keeper? Map cases will only hold a few pages and anything Pelican names is hard-sided and heavy.

    I’m thinking along the lines of a messenger bag sized case. Whatever it is, I need it to be waterproof and light weight. What do you use to secure documents?

    I would give the Magpul Daka pouches a look. I have 3 of them and so far they held up well. I spilled a 20oz cup of coffee on one and the contents stayed dry. I wiped the outside off with a wet paper towel. I don't know how well it would do if you submerged it in water for an extended period of time but they are water resistant if you wanted to put them in a bug-out bag. May have to rethink your 2" binder though.

    If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

    Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?

    Not 'soft' but the pelican 1085 laptop case is where i keep all my 'grab n go' hard copy documents in addition to every doc being on flash drive.

    I have zero affiliation with the manufacturer.

    Would it fit in the 2 gallon Ziploc bags?

    The Aloksak line may be what you're looking for: https://loksak.com/aloksak/

    They come in every size from wallet to rifle. Clear, flat, zippered, submersible. Inexpensive too.

    While I no longer work with them I have a close family member that owns the company and Grant has allowed me to do several giveaways here. Anyone from the forum interested let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.

    That is very cool of you. If no one jumps on it, I want others to get first crack at it, I will throw my hat in. I could totally use a legal document sized one.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    I made some Ranger purses out of multi-gallon Ziploc bags wrapped in 100mph tape.

    If you're cheap and ghetto like me, it works. Well.

    Certainly. PM me what I need to know and I'll come up with something for you.
