"All right, let's talk about packing those bags, so you've got your touring bag. You put your racks on. You made sure they're secure. You've got your bags hanging off those racks. Usually, you want to get the bags on the bike, before you start packing. It kind of helps get the bags on correctly and properly, but you also want to make sure those bags are nice and tight, after you get the weight on them. The way you want to pack, is a little bit like with a backpack. You want to try to keep the heaviest items low, and in toward the bike, generally, so low, and in toward the bike, and it's hard to say necessarily what your heaviest items are. Some of it is just a matter of convenience. One thing I like to try to do, is kind of divide the bags into. I'll have a bag that's devoted to foul weather gear, a bag that's devoted to cooking, and food. A bag that's devoted to camping gear, and things like that, so I usually start back here with the camping gear bag, and this just kind of helps you, as your unloading and loading everyday. Just have a system, so you kind of know where stuff is. I like also with my bags, incidentally, to have multiple pockets. I like having a top pocket, for putting certain things in, like your tools. back pockets, and a main compartment. A lot of bags, especially the waterproof ones, just have one main compartment, and that's all, and that's something that to my mind at least, it's a little bit less easy to get your gear, where you know where it is, all the time, so anyway, tent poles, I usually separate from the tent body, and put the tent poles. This is assuming you're camping, and if you've got this many bags, and you're not camping, I don't know what you're doing with this many bags, so just slide those tent poles down in there. Usually, tent poles are a good candidate for being on the back rack, and bungeed on or something. Most bags can't carry a tent pole."
