Edward and I are preparing for take off tomorrow morning. Sunday morning we will be in Madrid, Spain enjoying eighty degree weather and the Euro Cup! My latest online obsession has been Pinterest for ideas on everything from lesson plans to cleaning tips. However, in my frantic search for packing tips I saw nothing for packs. For our twenty one day trip we are only bringing our camping packs and a carry on. I will be using my Northface 60 women's pack, and Ed will carry a Deuter Futura Zero 50.
Before I give you the packing breakdown here are some tips for carrying a pack:
- Measure your torso before buying a pack.
- Remember everything has to be carried on your back. So pack light!
- It is best to put everything in a smaller bag for easy packing. It also is useful to keep things from getting lost in the bottom.
- Put heavier items like shoes on the bottom.
- Find out where all those zippers lead. My pack has a nifty side zipper to access my bag from any angle.
