Do not to tie anything on the outside of your rucksack. It nearly always falls off or gets snagged on something. The only real exception to this is your roll mat which is difficult to put inside.
Everything must be named and put into plastic bags before putting in a rucksack - this is to keep your items dry if it is raining when we get on site.
