There are several things to consider when organizing your pack for a long backpacking trip including how to distribute the weight, how to maximize your space, and how to keep it convenient. There's no one right way to do it, but I show you in this video what worked best for me!

It doesn't matter how you pack your pack as long as the pack is well engineered. I like to take a sling pack and wear it backwards so it's on my front. Put the sling pack on first. That way you can have every little thing you want in the sling pack. I use a poncho so its attached to my sling pack so I can get to it fast. A poncho is awesome to have as you can go bathroom in privacy anywhere( ladies take notice.

Saw some 2 mil trash compactor bags 1: 52 today at the store but it was a big roll. Reluctant to purchase the whole box but if I have to I will. Want my gear to stay dry. Liked & shared: -) Do you have a source to get just two or three compactor bags or do you have to buy a whole roll.

I got fascinated by the idea of a PCT through hike in my life and am now training, saving for it. It's really helpful to watch your videos while I do my day hike, short overnight trips. It's part of my reflection and learning moments. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much Dixie for all your videos and all the fantastic advice you provide us! They gave me the incentive I needed to start preparing for my long-time dream of hiking the Skyline Trail in Jasper National Park. Lots of love from Canada

Wait what do you have against compression sacks for a sleeping bag I mean it's tubular balled up but as small as possible with the straps and buckles. That as a big improvement for me back in the 90's over a regular stuff sack.

I'm learning so much from your videos! Love finding other female backpackers out there who actually talk about things the guys don't! (like where to keep your feminine products: P ) Thanks!

It sounds like you've got a good idea. I didn't see anything wrong with the way you had your pack packed. As a matter of fact I may be changing the way I pack mine. Thanks for the advice.

How do you carry your sunglasses when not wearing them, without breaking them? Also, did you have to dry camp and if so, how did you carry extra water for camping?

HEY! I saw that! You went into Canada to do your 'business'! Canada's just one big toilet to you yanks, isn't it! How dare you. Shame on you. No respect at all! ;)

Cargo pant serve a dual purpose especially the zip to short ones. Lots of pockets to hold stuff you need to keep within arms reach and no digging in your pack!
