Mark,

Are you thinking of trying to pack several days into one card ? If I am awa=
y for
days at a time I try to download my sounds each day to my laptop (I usually=
 have
my car with me) - that way I know what I captured is at least as safe as th=
e
laptop ! I worry that if several days recordings were in my recorder and I =
lost
it, dropped it, fell in a river etc the whole lot may be lost. No good for=

backpacking - but then buying some extra cards, changing every 1-2 days, an=
d
keeping them in a ziplock bag, may be a useful "insurance" against the cost=
 of
your trip and time (which may probably be more than the cost of the cards !=
).
Just a thought. ("Just because I'm paranoid it doesn't mean the whole lot w=
on't
go wrong" !)
