Packing your rucksack correctly makes many things easier: pack heavy items first. Your water bottle should always be easily accessible in a side pocket. Everything you need frequently, such as sunglasses, a camera or a hiking map, should be packed on top. Every rucksack should contain emergency equipment, including blister plasters, and it is always advisable to dress in layers!
