[QUOTE="PEI_Heather, post: 127783, member: 14665"] Here's yet another take on it, marclynnette... When I bought my pack from MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op), the fellow who helped me was an experienced hiker/backpacker. He told me to pack light at the bottom, heavy in the middle and light at the top. That way the heavy stuff is sitting mid-back. In my case, it was my sleeping bag (very light but of all my stuff, the heaviest thing). You should try whatever feels best to you; rearrange your pack every time you go out for your training walks and decide which feels best to you. When I left Halifax (Nova Scotia), I got a big heavy duty plastic bag from Air Canada; when I got to my B&B in England, I stuck it inside the pack as an extra waterproofing. I also had everything in individual plastic bags. The good side: nothing got wet or 'bugged'. The bad side: it was noisy (I would try to take everything--pack and all--out of the dorm to pack in the morning. And I basically had to repack everything in the morning. That became an annoyance! :? I'm not sure I will do this again the next time. Big plastic bag: yes; little plastic bags: mmm, maybe not!) You'll find the best way that suits you either by trial and error before you go or as you go! Buen Camino! You will love your journey (I believe)! :D Cheers! PEI_Heather [/QUOTE]
