>>2459875>I use stuff sacks and dry bags too but taking these showoff pictures of gear with everything in the stuff sacks is kind of pointless. I can't recognize what products™ you have bought by just looking at the stuff sack.I used words to explain what was in the mystery bags right there in the OP.
>>2459934>People usually don’t put food in these pics. OP forgot to put his food dry bag (or I missed it).>>2460036>You’re right. What’s the deal OP? How are you storing your food?I was pretty upfront in the OP that I haven't been properly backbacking for some years, although I've done up to week-long hikes without resupply in the past, and I live in a very rural town and go /out/ all the time, sometimes overnight (which isn't proper backpacking, even if camping primitive in a National Forest; you can just throw stuff in any old bag and/or a vehicle).
But here you go, this came in the mail today, along with hiking shoes and en emergency thermal blanket. There are no decent outfitters nearby me, so I'm ordering my replacement/new stuff from Moosejaw, Backcountry, and Amazon, mostly.
I will keep my non-prepackaged food double-Ziploced and hoist it at night with the paracord you see in the OP.
