A friend of mine fell over backwards in a creek, and lay there teetering like a stuck turtle on his Osprey in the baseball-sized round boulders... in two inches of water.

I felt so bad for laughing. At least, until I noticed he was laughing too.

Nothing got wet, even though he didn't have a pack liner. Well, the jacket in the kangaroo pocket, and the stuff in the side pockets.

I have to say, the worst I've ever had in terms of creeks soaking packs was when high water rose above my hips and wet the bottom of it. I wasn't worried about that much either.
