How to pack a rucksack:
The main rule is to pack the light things in the lower part and the heavier things in the upper part. This means that the centre of gravity is high on your back and the rucsack is much more comfortable to carry. The total weight will be the same however you pack it, but it is much less tiring when the rucsac is packed in such a way that it helps your posture and stresses the muscles that you use a lot in
everyday life.

Items that you might need to lay your hands on quickly should be in the side pockets or just under
the top for easy access. When you pack a rucsac it is easiest to pack everything in plastic bags. This keeps all your things dry even if the rucsac leaks in heavy rain and it also helps to keep order in the rucsac. You can even pack using plastic bags of different colours to help with identification. For instance, your wash kit in a yellow bag, your cutlery in a red bag and so on. This makes it much easier to find
a specific item. The sketch below shows how your rucsac should be packed.
