How To Pack Your Backpack.

Okay, so there's not really one right way to pack your pack, but the theory goes: pack lighter things at the bottom, and heavier things on top to maintain your center of gravity. Gorp.com suggests the following order:

•    Sleeping bag.
•    Clothes go in next.
•    Tents and tarps.
•    Food, fuel, and cooking utensils.
•    Personal items.
•    Outside compartments.
•    Mattresses.

Thanks for this - I was wondering what the right tactic would be, and while I'm sure this is something I'd master eventually from experience (and still will!) it's good to have someone else's experience to get me up and running :)
