If I know that I will be in canoes or very wet conditions, I use SealLine dry bags (otherwise, Ziplock bags are fine). I use masking tape to tape each film leader down. The masking tape is later used to label each roll. I can fit 100 rolls in each dry bag and they are transparent so, if you are lucky, you can pass them around the x-ray machines. The dry bags are wonderful for film, clothes, anything else that you want to keep dry.
