Packing

Packing for mountain road trips and treks

Bags get thrown on jeep roofs, rained on and squeezed into shared taxis. Pack so that it does not matter.

Organize

Packing cubes keep clothes compressed and let you find a warm layer without unpacking everything at a roadside stop.

Waterproof

Monsoon rain and river crossings soak ordinary backpacks. A roll-top dry bag inside or on top protects sleeping bags and electronics.

Pack light

Porters and pack animals often have weight limits. Lay everything out, then remove a third of it.
