Not sure if this is the best forum for this but... When I go out (fresh water lake, 20' boat) I throw my money/wallet and cell phone in a plastic ziploc should something nasty happen but it occurs to me, it won't float.

Anyone know where I can get a small'ish pouch that is water proof and can float? Maybe with a clip on the end to clip to my belt loop or something?

Or would I have to use a bag like they sell here and attach some kind of buoy to it like is on my keys?

thanks!
 
Interesting question. I am on standby every other weekend and use a ziploc bag to take by cell phone to the sand bar. Murphey's law will eventually kick in; drop the bag and it was not sealed correctly. Phone is shot, I miss a call, I get fired. Looking to see what others have found and where to get it.
 
Thanks. Those look like the dry bags on here but I didn't know about the air thing.
 
I still use Ziplocs. Leave some air in them and use TWO.
 
I use a small Cooler when I'm in the boat. Put the phone on Vibrate and the sound resinates over the whole boat when you get a call.

Going out through the Swamps and rivers I had a Bright Yellow Camera bag that floated. It sealed water proof and the pouch had four Flotation chambers. It was expensive, but it worked.
 
Those are what I was looking at before but no floating unless I put a buoy thing on it. Which might be what I have to do. That or air.
 
Most Scuba shops have a number of different waterproof containers.......
