[QUOTE="mspath, post: 127772, member: 7963"] This is how I organize my kit; however, what works for and pleases me may not be good for you! Packing preferences are VERY personal!! Since no backpack is entirely waterproof all 6.5 kilos of kit is kept in three opaque white soft plastic bags. White greatly increases visibility within the backpack and the soft plastic is noiseless. On the bottom of the backpack one large bag holds all clothes except the poncho which travels in a handy exterior pocket. For tidiness (and my aesthetic pleasure) this clothes bag always remains within the backpack. Thus there is never a messy pile of clothes haphazard on the floor. On top of the clothes bag goes a similar smaller toiletries sac in soft white plastic which also holds my tiny towel. Within the sac soap, sponge and shampoo are kept together in doubled small plastic bags; after using these in a shower all are placed into a small dry bag before being returned to the main toiletries bag. Thus other toiletries stay dry. On top of the toiletries bag a large clear plastic envelope serves as my 'office' with diary, pen, accounts list, phone charger and head lamp. At night it safely holds my glasses. Within the backpack on top of everything is the sleeping bag in its own nylon stuff sac plus another soft plastic bag for added protection. With water bottle and cup in a handy side pocket plus food, utensils and water heating coil in the large back pocket the backpack is neat, compact and quickly ready to go. After all my caminos I can even pack it in the dark!! Margaret Meredith [/QUOTE]
