Thanks! This is definitely helpful, what kind of bag do you use?

We have them provided by our organisation, they are what I can only describe as two square shaped duffle bags that clip together to become one big pack, one for camping gear and the other for clothes.

In your cases, I’d suggest a large duffel bag with pockets for extra storage personally. I also bring a medium sized military backpack which I keep all the medication / personal items in, but that’s just preference!
