 ### Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Bag [Title] ###
 EDIT: Dry Sack [That's what the manufacturer calls it.]
  
 ### Summer trips last 5-10 days; 40 lbs (18 kg), about half food related; about 5 miles (8 km) per hiking day. I winter camp most often at 6,000' to 7,000' (1,800 to 2,000 m); 2 to 3 nights; 50 lbs (23 kg); 1 to 4 miles (1.6 to 6.4 km) on snowshoes. ###
 EDIT: 40 lb; 50 lb [BGT abbreviations are always singular.]
  
 ### Product: 20L Ultra-Sil Dry bag ###
 EDIT: Dry Sack [As above. Note the capital "S."]
  
 ### Approx. Retail: US $25 ###
 EDIT: Please delete. BGT allows only MSRP and prohibits retail prices.
  
 ###     volume: 20 L (1,220 ci) ###
 Edit: Consider adding somewhere that six other sizes are available.
  
 ### The bag closes by holding the the two sides together ###
 EDIT Delete the extra "the."
  
 ### It's slick as a wet bear can. ###
 Comment: Great metaphor!
  
 ### Where I might anticipate a day or so of rain or a daily series of thunder showers, ###
 Edit: thundershowers [one word]
  
 ### I have had several aggravations of water intrusion into my pack, ###
 EDIT: aggregations [Unless you are simply being clever . . .]
  
 ### The only trouble I ever have is forgetting to squeeze air out before I get the roll started. ###
 Comment: No kidding. I often have the same problem.
  
 
 General Edit: Consider adding something about cleaning and care, or lack of same.
