Daysacks / Shoulder bags / Waist pouches

If you don't have a convertible backpack with a detachable daysack, you will need to combine your backpack with a smaller carrying vessel. Think carefully what you will be using your extra bag for - weekends away from base, shopping, taking your laundry to be washed, carrying around day to day bits and pieces etc. Think how you will carry it in conjunction with your backpack. Consider taking an extra lightweight daysack or waist pouch that can be packed away for later use or utilised to separate your packing.
