I don't understand why people put all of their items inside of separate bags then put all the bags inside their pack. They have their clothing in a bag, separate Ziplock for each days food, first aid kit in a bag, sleeping bag in a bag, ect. everything seems to need its own bag.
My food all goes loose in the bottom of my pack. My Valandre down sleeping bag goes in a sea to summit dry compression bag and my tent is in a bag. All my clothes are loose along with any other gear. Most packs have pockets or compartments to help store stuff.
it's easy to cut weight out of your pack by leaving all these extra bags at home. Are people OCD and need to know it's organized? I have a Stone Glacier pack that zips all the way down the center and I can access any thing without pulling anything else out of my pack.
My wife and I did a 9 day sheep hunt last year and we went in with 34 and 37 pound packs(rifle not included).
