Your gear is of paramount importance when you are trying to survive in the wilderness.
Whether you're trekking for an extended period or just a night or two, you and your fellow travelers will need to keep your gear safe and organized in camping backpacks to maximize efficiency.
Waterproofing is Crucial Keeping your gear dry will be one of the most important factors as you organize and stow items.
Nothing is worse than wet matches or dripping socks, so make sure that you load items in waterproof bags or sacks.
Organization for Easy Access Before placing items into your camping backpacks, lay everything out so you know what you have.
With your gear spread out, you can begin organizing it according to how much it weighs and when you will need it.
One method involves clustering items that you will use together into small sacks.
For example, you might place everything you will need to prepare and make a meal together in a bag.
Stow all food together in one bag, and place all clothing together in another bag.
Never loosely pack small items without containing them in another bag.
It's likely that you won't be able to find these items easily when you need them, as they will shift to the bottom of the satchel.
Consider using color-coded bags inside your pack to enable you to locate items you need quickly and easily.
Distributing Weight Evenly Weight distribution is an important consideration to ensure that your camping backpacks are stable and comfortable to wear.
For best results, stow the load so that the heaviest objects will be centered and closest to your back.
This provides stability and enables you to bear the weight with your hips.
Place objects of medium weight at the top of the satchel so that they sit at the outside edge away from your body.
Stow the lightest weight gear at the bottom of the bag.
For example, your sleeping bag may be one of the lightest items in your rucksack.
Place this item in first so it sits at the bottom.
Heavier items such as a camp stove, water, and fuel should sit at the center of the knapsack.
Medium-weight items such as clothing or food can go at the top of the bag.
Carrying Bulky Items It's possible that you won't be able to fit everything into your camping backpacks.
Most packs have designs that enable you to attach other items to their exterior for additional carrying options.
You might fit your water bottle into an exterior pocket for easy access.
If you have trekking poles or a tent that won't fit inside the main compartments, attach them to the outside of the packs using lashing gear or straps that are part of the design.
Take care that you do not overload yourself with external items because you could disrupt your sense of balance.
With attention to detail, you can get your camping backpacks filled and ready to go in preparation for an enjoyable wilderness adventure.
