The hood and lateral pockets should be filled with small, essential objects, so they can be reached easily. Make sure side pockets have weight evenly distributed.

Heavy equipment such as tents, food, cooking utensils should be placed near the back.

Average weight, bulky items such as clothing should be placed in the middle of the pack, but to the outside.

Soft objects such as sleeping bag and down-filled equipment should be stored in the bottom of the pack.
