>>1892758Every tool that goes into my pack had a small 100kg string attached to it and I attach it to one of the pack’s elastic straps to avoid losing it.
Also, have a laminated list of gear you have there with checkboxes to check off before you leave and before you decamp.
Otherwise, electric tape to wrap strap ends to prevent them from dangling.
Flashlight also tape over one of my filters to reduce the aperture to a small square to prevent pupil dilation and attracting unwarranted attention.
Reinforcing stitching is also solid advice.
