What have you done to prep this week?

I like the color pull idea

I got the idea off the kifaru forum, though thinking about it, they won't end up in the same parts of the pack anyway but whatever. I wanted a clean way to identify them. beats writing on them or putting tape on them. And they're pretty affordable.

Once I decide on what else to put in the pack I'll load the pull outs, heavy stuff in the middle, light up top, tent at the bottom.

I still want to get the kifaru stuff sack. Compresses in a log looking thing rather than a ball.

Once I get it all packed, I'll go through and do a layout and scrap stuff further. To save some weight. Spring is right around the corner though it may not feel like it.

I'm due for a new set of backpacking boots. By the time spring hits, I'll have those broken in and will be vacuum sealing dry foods.

I'm trying to color code the pullouts with different color cord. I stole some orange off a fire piston which I put on my fire starters bag, I'll find a red piece for the stove. Green probably for my mess kit and a blue for water purification. The sizes help me figure out what's what, and they're kind of see through. But in dim lighting they're one mass of nylon.

if i may make a suggestion... use Glow in the Dark zipper pull ends. i make them and they work great. i will look and see if i have a picture.

edit... found it!

I have tons of blaze orange 110 cord that I need something to do with. Haven't decided what yet though.

Awesome, those look great.

I will vouch for them. They do work great. Rob does good work and has some designs I've never seen before.

You do good work. I don't mind bragging on good gear.

i did find a Peak One single burner at a surplus store for $10. it was an 'impulse buy' not a clue if it even works, looks to have never been used, just beat too shit.
