Maybe it’s just me, but when I have backpacks with tons of extra pockets, I often forget what gear item I put into which pocket, necessitating a short guessing game for the first couple tries.
There’s something to be said for consolidating your storage system, rather than spreading it out.

If you’re anything like me, you may want to check out Add-a-Twist, by Light My Fire. The rugged BPA-free polypropylene container is designed to slip into backpacks and keep your gear and food safe, dry and organized.
The entire package has three differently sized containers: small (3.75 oz.), medium (10.15 oz.) and large (18.25 oz.). Use all three, remove one or two, or rearrange the order with a simple twist.
The containers are impact resistant, so if you accidentally drop them, the contents will still be OK, unless you packed an egg—in which case, you might want to rethink your packing habits.
There are two lids and a lid/handle, so all three containers can be sealed.
The lids are double sealed for a water- and airtight closure, and a bayonet lock allows quick and easy access to any compartment.
The strong, molded handle makes it easy to pack, carry, or hang the stacked containers, and the stacking design keeps lids and bottoms of containers free from dirt (except the one you choose to be on the bottom of the stack).
I’ve used the Add-a-Twist on camping trips, as well as hiking trips when I wanted to have decent foot containers but also keep room for first-aid essentials.
I’ve also used it on beachcombing adventures, when my daughter wanted to keep shells separate from beach glass.

The Add-a-Twist is easy to clean, so bring it along on your sandy beach adventures, like I did. No big deal. It also floats, so if you accidentally drop it into a lake or some relatively still water, you can retrieve it without trouble. Crashing waves may add some challenge to the retrieval process.
Add-a-Twist comes in blue, pink and yellow, with black being added to the color spectrum in 2017. It lists for $34.95 at REI and is also available at Amazon.
