I have a lot of these stuffed bags, mash bags and compression bags. This is a way to organise stuff in my pack and make it easier for me to find (e.g. jacket in the green one, medicals in the red one, etc). Furthermore it allows me to shift things easier that the weight is distributed evenly in my pack....
Protect from moisture, both rain and perspiration. My items have gotten wetter inside a poncho from sweat condensation than it ever would in the rain! Neither phone nor wallet (and passport and credencial) like being wet.Phone and money for the day in skirt pocket.

I have the Eagle Creek Spectre cubes that have a compression zip. I haven't used them on the Camino yet though. Last year I used a Hoboroll from Gobi Gear, which is a stuff bag with dividers. It worked fairly well, but I like the flat shape of the cubes.@joecamino We really like these for all our travels: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01522NGXI/?tag=casaivar02-20
A bit on the expensive side but worth it for me - lightweight fabric, water repellant, and strong. I usually use ziploc bags for toiletries and other things that I don't want leaking into the Eagle Creek bags.
Maybe we'll see you on this side! Take care and have a wonderful Camino.

I fly out in less than a week....excited, nervous, and trying to finish up pack list.
Can anyone share some good tips on how they organize their gear for the Camino? I'll be carrying an Osprey Stratos 36L pack, and want to get the most from it (Note: not "stuff the most into it" ;-)
One specific question-- is there a good reason to spend $$ on "ditty bags" like these, or can I accomplish the same with different sized ziplock plastic bags?
Thanks again!
I found that those times when my pack just didn't feel quite right, that if I rearranged the contents a bit, and really cinched down the compression straps to keep the load closer to my body it immediately became more comfortable. That's why I think that the compression cubes will work well.Oooh I just had a look at the cubes with a compression zip and I really like those. Thanks for bringing them to our attention!
Why a dry bag? Way to heavy, and opaque.Wouldn't waste money on those ditty bags. Dry bags is where it's at. A lot more versatile.

There are now very light (sil-nylon) roll-top dry bags that are much lighter than the ones you might have used for boating/diving. True that they are opaque, and rather expensive, but I like them. They are easily clipped to the rail of the top bunk or to a shower rod.Why a dry bag? Way to heavy, and opaque.

I begin my third Camino on June 1. Being the Guici girl that I am, on my first time around I purchased several brightly colored and expensive REI bags to pack clothing and essentials in an organized manner. Prior to leaving I opted to use the heavy duty freezer zip lock bags. Perfect as they come in several sizes, are cheap, and they kept everything dry! Very easy to organize like items. Enjoy the Journey!I fly out in less than a week....excited, nervous, and trying to finish up pack list.

I use Gobi Gear products they are amazing for staying organized makes it possible for me to only take a 18L day pack on my 16 day Camino. You put most your things in it and then in your pack.I fly out in less than a week....excited, nervous, and trying to finish up pack list.

While this is true, the solution does not have to be to ditch the bags. Just put everything in your pack before you go to bed and then pick up the whole thing and sneak quietly into a hallway or communal space before doing any rustling. Or be the last one up!And noisy.

I vote for last one up!While this is true, the solution does not have to be to ditch the bags. Just put everything in your pack before you go to bed and then pick up the whole thing and sneak quietly into a hallway or communal space before doing any rustling. Or be the last one up!
I used stuff sacks to keep things separated. One was for clean clothing, one for dirty, and one was for my rain gear. I used a mesh bag for toiletries.I fly out in less than a week....excited, nervous, and trying to finish up pack list.

I DO, however stick to "skivvy rolling" my shirt/socks/underwear combo:
that way, when I arrive at the day's destination, I pull out the next day's clothing in one go.
Fooled me the first time I saw it - I think they change the socks!I love this-- though you lost me between step #6 and #7. I see socks starting in #4. Who's this white wooly character jumping into later round?

You got it!Color difference confused me, but I think I understand. They turned sock inside out, and pulled it over bundle!

Looks good but I wouldnt want to stretch my very good $$$ wool socks over a shirt and undies.Color difference confused me, but I think I understand. They turned sock inside out, and pulled it over bundle!
Unless you have very thin ankles/calves it shouldn't be a problemLooks good but I wouldnt want to stretch my very good $$$ wool socks over a shirt and undies.

My skirt pocket is ventilatedGood point though, I also have a small dry bag handy to protect phone if it rains heavily.
I have the Euroschirm hands free telescoping umbrella. It has an extra long handle that attaches easily to your backpack hip belt, and comes with clips that to attach it to the shoulder strap. It is very secure.Hi! Domigee,
I like that ideas of walking in skirt, so I don't need extra shoulder bag which was
quiet handy. Also wondering using of an umbrella with UV protection from it.
How do you mount them when you use poles.
Thanks, Cathy K.

Any chance they make these in a tartan print?
Don't think they do but they used to have a man's version
