Stuff? Organising stuff in your backpack - what do you do? Tips? I'm talking about organising bits and bobs to reduce the backpack chaos.

Embrace the chaos.

But seriously what stuff are you talking about? I have a s2s first aid bag which I put batteries and toothbrush etc in as well as the obvious. Nothing else is an issue.

I had to pack when I had a 30L pack to get everthing in there. Now I've got a 55L pack and more space, I kind of stuff. Quilt and cloths get stuffed in Nylofume bag. Tent gets stuffed in another Nylofume bag
So if you have space, I'd say get stuffed!

Stuff and nonsense.

I'm more of a stuff-up sort of person. It keeps life interesting.

Car Camping: Too many places for stuff to hide! Result ... comb lost in pants pocket for days. Head torch lost for a day or two... grrrrr

Much easier backpacking... if it is not there then it is really gone.

This may be a bit serious for the thread but........
Heard on radio yesterday about people having had Covid and sometime vaccines losing their arthritis symptoms.
Early days yet but since no.3 (I haven't had Covid that I know of) I have been able to walk much much more freely.
I can't remember the last time I had 2 days let alone 4 days in a row of no (more or less) constant pain which varied in level from annoying to migraine level (leg pain of course).
Anyone else noticed that type of thing?

Nope. Things are bothering more the last month or so but that's mainly the cool, wet weather.

I've found a falling barometer to cause a lot of disturbance in the force. Others with arthritis have mentioned the same. It is a shidowse affliction.
I'm at the end of day 4 and still good so far, fingers crossed.

Not me, but my ex-wife. She had a frozen shoulder, only had her first vaccination, got a mild dose of Covid and the frozen shoulder disappeared at the same time as the Covid symptoms. Could be co-incidence I suppose, but it certainly makes you wonder.

geting an appointment shortly with an orthopod- looking at hip replacement at 53... sadly bushwalking is much restricted.... tripple Covid vax did nothing to help me but nothing replaces all that cartilage.

Day 6 and the pain is lurking but not extreme, no where near what it has been. With thoughtful foot placement and stride I was able to do 25 minute walk on one of my favourite local tracks.
I've been struggling with this leg so long I have forgotten how to walk properly. This has caused issues with my other leg and both hips. Physio is slowly helping at which I must also persevere but the repetitions can be incredibly boring.

I'm hoping to avoid knee replacement but sometimes............

53YO is early for a full hip replacement.
At least I was 65 or was that 66YO, but the 3 or 4 years before the Op was agony ; so good luck with the surgery and do everything you can beforehand to ease the re-hab.
Also ask your surgeon about a Birmingham resurfacing, some people get a better result with that technique

Cheers MD.
Yep - my hip is pretty cactused which is annoying because I have been athletic my entire life. I am in the health industry so have selected the best surgeon in the area - not a guarantee of success but gives me the best chance.
I'm not in agony yet but it's really restricting me....
