My system.

The key to what you said there,.. and to Dojo,.. is do what ever you find the easiest for you to do, it doesn't matter what bag we are talking about, I only have one bag, and I try to keep that as light as possible.

Keep looking at your bags, keep re-evaluating whats in them try and carry as many items that can do multiple jobs,..really look at each item and think,.. ` do I really need to carry that?`,.. if in doubt, then dont carry anything for the sake of it,..or because it MIGHT come in handy,... because the chances are that it wont

as Binnie said, keep it simple, keep it light, you have to carry it
