Pack Everything in Zip Lock Bags

Our packs for Africa

We tend to travel with back packs more than in a nice and fancy suitcase, so organization can be a problem.
Packing all of our clothing and toiletries in zip lock, not only makes finding things easy, it keeps everything clean and dry.
As backpackers, our bags can travel on top of trucks, buses or on the deck of a boat in rough seas. Keeping everything dry can be a challenge, but when things are zipped up tight in a zip lock, our contents are clean and dry.
Zip Lock bags are light weight, air tight and clear. You can see everything that you need in a quick glance and you won't make a mess when you are trying to find something. Just pull out each individual bag and put it bag in with ease.
