What do you guys like for bag organization? Ziplock baggies are a pain in the rear. I was thinking about some Mystery Ranch Zoid bags in various colors to carry smaller items and keep things organized. One color for the kill kit, another for medical/survival, one for lunch and snacks, ect. Especially one for blackpowder hunting and all the associated stuff. Recommendations appreciated!

Make sure the 50lb sack of potatoes is centered in the cast iron stove so that a small shift doesn't throw you off your stride.
Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

I use a combination of Kifaru ultralight pullouts and kuiu dry bags.

I use the Kuiu dry bags and zip bag for my kill kit, food bag and electronics bag. I don’t like to use a bag for my clothes as I like to stuff them in wherever they fit and keep my pack less bulky.

I use ultralight nylon or silnylon bags from whoever is cheapest for the things you pointed out. As 805 mentioned you loose pack density super fast when you use too many bags for storage, especially larger bags. A tight easy carrying pack is way easier to achieve when you've got soft stuff loose to fill all the gaps with.
Stuff I keep in ultralight nylon bags: kill kit, first aid kit, food bag, blackpowder gear if I'm packing in a smokepole ....otherwise it goes in ziplocks or mostly doesn't get bagged at all.
Big bags of crap just don't fill the backpack as neatly as small squishy items.

No dry bags for me. I want something with a full length zipper so I can look in and grab what I need without the need to fish around in a top opening bag. Tired of ziplock bags filling with air and converting to a balloon after being opened. Probably gonna grab several Zoid bags from MR.

I am pretty firmly in the camp of keeping the bag packed as tight as possible so I don’t use many separate bags inside it. I don’t use one for my sleepsystm usually or tarp/tipi/tent or any clothes accept sometimes rain gear. I will use These for my kill kit and a good chunk of my food /meal plan as well as the little grey one with emergency stuff in it like a tiny bottle of jack daniels and some duck tape. They aren’t on the website right now but We can always bang these out for any of you guys without much lead time. Less than an ounce in most sizes you’d want.

Zip lock bag for me and my Blackpowder items. Seriously you can't get the air out ? Find what you like, I will stick with Zip Lock bags.

At least for me, the issue is that the stuff I put in the ziplocks (typically a full day's food in a gallon ziplock) has a tendency to push outward. The bags are not entirely airtight, especially as time goes on and holes get poked, so over time they allow the bag to expand, and pretty soon they have expanded to fill all available space. Especially true if you have 2-3 weeks worth of food in 14-21 ziplocks. Then, when you go to re-compress, you are dealing with 14-21 balloons that are slow to bleed air out of. I'd imagine it happens with anything compressible, but I don't use ziplocks much anymore.

Those are the ones I use. Nice assortment and they work nicely. Very lightweight. Make color coding easy.

I ordered some small bags from a company in FL. They have an [bleep] store. Great quality. I bought a bunch of different colors for different things. Red (FAK) orange (fire), green (shelter), blue (water purification), grey (kill kit and misc) I bought the large size. You can always make them smaller but not larger. post pictures

I've been known to vacuum seal things that I don't want to get wet (socks). Really compacts them down too.

Red (FAK) orange (fire), green (shelter), blue (water purification), grey (kill kit and misc) If these are Granite Gear sacks, I use them, too, and really like them. My main use for them is keeping hunting clothing organized in storage (socks, gloves, base layers, etc.), but they'd work just as well in a pack. Kifaru pullouts are another favorite, or their Mountain Ridge counterparts.
Some shooting knowledge: Don't stand in front of the muzzle. Some hunting knowledge: Too much noise ruins the hunt.
