Organizing in pack
« on: November 25, 2016, 09:31:15 PM »
I have used ziplocks, but find when I open the pack it is just a sea of baggies and I end up pulling them all out to fine the one I want.  I did a quick amazon search for bags, but did not see anything that looked to be usable.  My day pack had lots of small pockets, and dividers and such for the smaller stuff and I loved how that worked, but my new lighter frame pack does not offer that.

So what do you experienced guys do to keep things organized in your packs. like KUIU, EXO, etc that only have a couple large/med pockets and no small organizing built in?

Sil nylon bags of different size and colors.

Similar items like water and food go together but the water filter goes in it's own smaller bag or everything gets banded together so I'm not searching for parts when I need to use it.

Lots of options out there. Big, little, light, even lighter. Dozens of companies make their own versions. Here are just a few:

Thanks  :tup:..Some nice stuff there. Been lookin for a few things to attach to a basic frame pack to hold food, GPS, knife, etc.

I'd recommend either the mesh or ultralight pull outs as mentioned above from Kifaru. Mesh allows you to see what's inside to an extent. I use the ultralights. There's 5 sizes of each if I remember right.

Bought my first couple Kifaru pullout so to upgrade from ziplock for my cook set and extra clothes. Awesome to be able to keep stuff together.

i am using the stone glacier swing out pockets and camp pockets.  similar in concept to the Kifaru.  they attach to the inside of the pack and swing out for accessibility.

Various storage bags for me. One of my favorites is our Zip Pack UL. Top zip lets you see nearly everything inside.

One big heavy mill trash bag inside and pack everything in it as a proper pack should be. Anything that could be an immediate need is kept in an outer pocket. Keeps weight and cost down and the trash bag is water proof.

REI has clear & colored bag organizers. I do 1 clear one & several different size/color ones. This way I can just grab the  bag I want instead of pulling everything out.
