My phone goes in my pocket and the charging cord and EU plug go in an outside pocket of my pack so that they are accessible if I am waiting somewhere and I spot an availability electricity socket.I'm interested in how people organize their tech and electronics items (charging cord, power pack, charger, USB's, phone, plug converters, USB condoms, etc).
Do you prefer a small lightweight case with compartments or just use a ziplock bag? Or something in-between?
Buen Camino!
Exactly! Great point. Thanks.My phone goes in my pocket and the charging cord and EU plug go in an outside pocket of my pack so that they are accessible if I am waiting somewhere and I spot an availability electricity socket.
In the same vein my charger and cord go into a small zippered cloth bag that I consider my "sleep bag." Things that I use when getting ready for bed go in there.We are all different in the ways that our brains organize things. For example, my electronics collection includes a few other items that I think of as "tools". So when I am trying to remember where I put that widget, I remember it is a "tool" and thus should be in my blue zipped case
I just use a ziplock bag. Except not for the phone. That tends to just go in my pocket.I'm interested in how people organize their tech and electronics items (charging cord, power pack, charger, USB's, phone, plug converters, USB condoms, etc).

I know I'll need a dry bag for my quilt & liner.
Hi Marska, all you really need is a waterproof pack liner. The rest of your stuff can go in ordinary cloth or silnylon bags without the weight or hassle of separate drybags. Your quilt need not even be put into a stuff sack but can be shoved straight into your pack to help give it shape and sit better on your back. Documents I keep in a waterproof wallet either inside my pants attached to my belt or in a top shirt pocket. Copies I keep in a plastic bag inside my pack. My pack has waistbelt pouches for small miscellaneous items and my phone sits comfortably in my pocket............I know I'll need a dry bag for my quilt & liner. I bought the S2S dry bags (set of 3) but they are all too small for my sleep system (the largest was 4L). I reordered a 12L. I'm sure it will be too big.
Buy/return/buy/return/buy/return.....I'm caught in a loop!!!!
*Anyone use a waterproof system for documents?
*Anyone use a shoulder strap pouch for misc items?
Phone will stay in pants pocket now that I have these DTC pants that are WONDERFUL!
Phone in its slim waterproof case goes in left front pants pocket for very quick access taking photos. Small headlamp, earbuds, wall charger, usb-phone cord, powerbank, usb-powerbank cord all go into backpack hip belt left pocket for easy access to charge phone as needed. Earbuds have easy access to make the odd call at cafe stop. Head lamp easy access for rare times walking in the dark. Sometimes I put the powerbank in rear pants pocket with cord to front for charging phone while I walk or take a snack break. I don't keep these in separate plastic bag as dampness as never hurt them on 10 caminos or numerous other travels.I'm interested in how people organize their tech and electronics items (charging cord, power pack, charger, USB's, phone, plug converters, USB condoms, etc).

Are you able to tell us? That would help more than having us boost your youtube rankings.Its a great question. I carried a lot of tech between myself and my 11 year old son. I made a video on powered device on the Camino. I hope it helps.
When not using, I keep my iPad, iPod, earbuds & cords in ziplock & place them in the space where a camelback would go & carry collapsible water bottle instead, Especially when I go to shower, it is concealed & no one knows my stuff is there. I don’t make it public when I remove them either. I learned from other pilgrim’s mistake to never leave your electronics charging while you take a shower; just never take your eyeballs off them. One young man we befriended did that & it was stolen at municipal albergue in Leon. Fortunately, an older man from his country agreed to cover him the rest of the way, because he had lost all his info for getting money, including all his phone numbers & couldn’t even remember his Dad’s phone number to call him.I'm interested in how people organize their tech and electronics items (charging cord, power pack, charger, USB's, phone, plug converters, USB condoms, etc).

I wouldn't be too sure about that.When not using, I keep my iPad, iPod, earbuds & cords in ziplock & place them in the space where a camelback would go & carry collapsible water bottle instead, Especially when I go to shower, it is concealed & no one knows my stuff is there
But good to store in a plastic bag in case of rainExactly! Great point. Thanks.
