Hydroskin?

Emmett, That seems like a very good method, thanks a lot. I only wonder at one thing: despite the cleverness and ease of your design I wonder if the simple 1/32" hole has the advantage of continous pressure adjustment, where the T vlave only vents when the paddler remembers to vent. Your method does eliminate the 1/32' open hole, but does such a hole into an enclosed space really allow much water? Paul's post about a closed plastic bottle seems to say no, but I don't like having a hole there if it can be skipped - like to keep my camping gear, etc as dry as possible and even an inch floating around while not a diaster (and can use dry page for everything, but nice to not have to pack for a semi-flooded compartment) it would be nice to not have a hole to let water in. Emmett's idea shows there are good and simple solutions. It's very close to perfect but sill lacks 'auto drive' any other simple,, clever ideas?
