A clear packing system helps when waterproofs come off halfway through the journey.

A good luggage arrangement helps the day flow. Tools, waterproofs and navigation essentials are used at different times from sleeping equipment, so they do not all need to live in the same bag. A consistent layout reduces the number of things unpacked at every stop.
