A pack for carrying personal effects and protecting such effects from damage caused by contact with moisture is provided. First, a flexible and rugged water-resistant outer container having a resealable opening defines a cavity sized to receive a waterproof pouch along with various other items. Next, the waterproof pouch may have an opening to receive various items. A first means and a second means for sealing the waterproof pouch are successively spaced away from the opening of the pouch. Then, once sealed, a portion of the pouch may be successively folded over the first and second means for sealing the pouch to further reduce any risk that moisture enters the pouch through the sealed opening. Finally, means may be provided for securing the folded portion of the pouch in place to provide nested and redundantly sealed compartments.
