    My general rules are: 1-light and bulky goes low 2-heavy goes high and tight (close to me), and either centered or distributed as evenly left and right as possible 3-time sensitive stuff (first aid, fire kit, rain cover/expedient shelter) goes in the top flap or other easily accessed pouch 4-batteries and electronics stay close to my body to lessen cold drain 5-if you don't want to loose it make sure its inside the pack or tied off somehow 6-if it needs to stay dry it goes in a dry sack (and maybe additional bags as well)

    Ps that diagram sketch of ur gear packed in ur bag a little over half way into ur video was just what I needed to see. Im a visual learner so instantly I cud picture your gear, how u packed it, what u brought and how much easier it could be for me. I've been a backpacker for 3 years. I was a boy scout as a kid but all my life I suffered from over packing big time. This summer I finally was able to really dial my bag in. Ur sketch of ur pack and gear though was exactly what I needed. It simplified everything!!

    Always nice to see a good video on how to pack your bag. With me it is a good reference since I have to carry extra things for my dog that comes with me. Like more water, her food, and a towel for her when she gets too wet for the tent. I do have her carry some of her things like the dog bags and her food/water bowl (always be careful to not overload your dog).

    Hi Gijs, another great video. Your method is very similar to mine - the main difference is the stove - if I'm using a liquid fuel stove, I always pack the fuel bottle in an external pocket so if the bottle leaks, it doesn't spoil everything else in my rucksack.

    Hi Andrew, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is just one of the stoves and I picked it because I know quite some people use it. I bring the Jetboil mostly when I am on my own. I have a super cookset from Trangia on petrol that I use with colder temperatures when out with the family and a Primus Eta for regular camping. And I love my classic MSR Whisperlite that is blackened from the petrol and some mistakes… A part of my collection is in the video on the Primus Firestick kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaCp27KhpKW6pKg.html Take a peek.

    I have an75, 50 & 36L bags for various trekking lengths. I haven’t packed in a number of years but like the Boy Scout in me I’m prepared for any emergency that may arise. I live in NorCal but was raised in SoCal and lived through all the major earthquakes from the ‘71 Sylmar quake through the most recent 5.1 NorCal quake just days ago (10/25/22, San Jose, CA). Just repacked my 75 & 50L bags in case of emergency. I use my 36L bag as a bug-out bag in case of fire evacuation and my 22L bag for weather variable alternatives to go with my 36L! This video helped me pack my longer duration bags! I thank you for the advise, I’ve gotten a little rusty on how to pack!
