Hi Coy Boy

The folder is at 
<http://www.backpackgeartest.org/reviews/Stuff%20Sacks/OR%20HydroLite%20Stuff%20Sacks> 
or Reviews > Stuff Sacks, i.e., under the main heading "Stuff Sacks."

Actually, to be correct it is "it's" in this case as the contraction 
of "it has". The form "its" is only used for the possessive case 
(which is seriously counter-intuitive vis a vis the rest of 
English's rules for possessive case).  <WAG>

Re: folder needed

Thanks Andrew.  Uploaded, links appear to work etc.  Jim the added 
text reads as follows.

As for the HydroLite Stuff Sack™ being waterproof, I don't gather 
that the bag is designed as such.  Without a way to seal the top 
opening, whether the bag's body fabric is water proof or not is 
really immaterial to a point.  One advantage of the Hydrolite fabric 
over a non-waterproof fabric would be splash protection.  I will 
say, the seams do not appear to be taped or seam sealed.  But if the 
HydroLite fabric is truly water proof then at least some protection 
will be afforded.

You would have to promise to include photos of you wearing this scary 
outfit :-)

EDIT: INITIAL REPORT for OR Stuff Sack - Roger Caffin

Hi Roger,
Here's my edit. As usual, EDITs are required, Edits are suggested, 
and Comments are nits I'm picking. Once you've made the appropriate 
changes upload it to http://www.backpackgeartest.org/reviews/Stuff%
20Sacks/ (there isn't a separate folder underneath the Stuff Sack 
header for normal stuff sacks vs compression sacks, etc.).

All spelling edits are from 'The American Heritage Dictionary of the 
English Language, Fourth Edition'.

by "long"

> MSRP:   US$15

####EDIT: space between US and $15

> Review Date:   6-Jan-2004

####Comment: Change this if you upload before Tues just to be 
consistent with the internal date.
