Afternoon all,
Got my SF75 over the weekend, that is a serious bag! Love it though and the only thing is I might be a bit big for what I intended.
Originally I was going to use a Web-Tex PLCE medic pouch to carry all my camp stuff, SAK, Collins Gems books, wash kit, cap kitchen (oil, ketchup etc), yadda yadda etc....

This had the advantage of being a bag to carry around the camp site whilst leaving my main bag in the tent/under the tarp.
Trouble is the pouch is MASSIVE! On its own it looks fine, but unless I have a full 75 litres in the main bag, this pouch off sets the weight and, well its not ideal. Once of the main reasons for the SF 75 was it can be compressed very flat to your back, the pouch sort of stops this.
So question time....
Are there any alternative to the mother pouch that is the PLCE side pouches (basicall I want the same but smaller)
Could I use this instead (will it attach to the SF75??) - http://britkitdirect.co.uk/products/webbing_plce_trauma_pouch_dpm. html
What do people use for compartmentalisation in their bags, especially whem you dont plan on using the full litrage
Thought and comments on how to better organise my bag and my campsite with compartments, and or baggies.
Thanks in advance for you help/ideas/time/etc.
