alternativeoperations asked: I saw the picture of your backpack, and I'd like to recommend using Eagle Creek's Pack-It System (http://www.eaglecreek.com/packing_solutions/). I'm fairly certain it will change your life!
I fell in love with the Pack-It cubes and Pack-It sacks during my recent around-the-world trip, and I refuse to travel without them now, even on short trips.
Separation, compartmentalization, organization! You'll never again have to rip your bag apart looking for the one item that's slipped to the bottom.
P.S. - Your blog rocks!



Thanks for tip!
I think the picture you’re referring to is actually an Eagle Creek pack (mesh compartment)… right before I put into my backpack. They seemed to have revamped their look as well diversify utility and sizes of what they offer nowadays.
My Eagle Creek’s products have held up wonderfully. I seemed have inadvertently collected enough of their packs to the point where I’ve put together my own “pack-it” solution that works well for me. One or two for base-layer clothing, one for miscellaneous gear or objects that typically get lost, and a smaller Sea To Summit toiletries bag.
I do highly recommend utilizing a packing solution much like what Eagle creek has put together for you here. Like alternativeoperations said “ I’m fairly certain it will change your life!”.
P.S. - Right back at you. Your blog rolls! Seriously, keep it going.
