Hi Wayne:
Cool! Initially when you said cooler I was thinking 'Thermos' but you
Glacier Bag is great, and I buy into the insulation somewhat. The theft
factor I have been oblivious to. I have been to Equador with no theft
problems at all, but your Bolivian bag looks like a good idea. Maybe if we
all just put large signs saying NOT DiGiTaL ...............
