Simple But Best
Probably one of the simplest pieces of gear you can buy, mini-sacks are
nevertheless indispensable. Most are made from polyurethane-coated nylon, giving them the qualities of light weight,
water-resistance, and very compressible when empty.
Plastic bags tend to have a limited life, often only one
trip, nylon mini-sacks are re-usable and washable.
Some are accessorised with compression straps, allowing
you to squeeze your sleeping bag into a package the size of a cantaloupe. Mini-sacks made of mesh stuff are popular
since they permit the contents to be inspected without opening - especially since air Travellers to/from the USA now
have to leave their checked bags unlocked. keep miscellaneous items in one tidy see-through bundle.
Other
mini-sacks also have sealed seams for added water resistance, while others are specially designed to be waterproof and
even submersible.

When planning multi-stage trips, nothing is more
convenient than using mini-sacks of various sizes and colours to organise food, clothing, and various equipment.
