Thread: Pack organising

As others have said, once you’ve figured out a configuration you like, stick with it. Much easier to find things when you at least know where they are to begin with.

I also use different coloured/sized dry bags for different things- a small 1L one for electronics- power pack, charging cords for phone & gps, headtorch & spare batteries. A couple of 2L ones- one for most of my food & one for rubbish. Bigger dry bags for clothes etc. Side pockets of the pack for cooking supplies & extra water (also use a 2L water bladder). Top pocket on lid is for stuff I want easy access to- knife, first aid kit, gloves, paracord etc. Hip pockets on waist strap of pack I use for another knife & muesli bars. Keep PLB on my belt & gps clipped to pack strap on my chest. There’s another pocket on the inside of the pack lid which I use for smaller items which I don’t need as often.

I’m also about to trial out an idea I pinched from a recent thread on here about vacuum packing. Gonna try vac packing down my emergency dry underwear/merino thermals. Ensures they’ll stay dry & hopefully will compress them down smaller than I can usually get them.
