As for for the question on "Why do you have this stuff in a bag" During a Police traffic stop and search.
You can always point to Ready.gov or ReadyPA.org. As fare as Legal stuff go's. Its a 72 Hour kit! If you are packing "Handgun" You better have your PA-LTCF "Pennsylvania License To Carry Firearms"
I think it was NEPAWOLF that pointed it out, You can always use Zip-Lock bags. That is a good rule of thumb. Even when you do have a Water-Proof Bag.
Few reasons, One) Water-Proof/Or not, When you open your bag its no longer Water-Proof. Everything inside is open to the outside i.e. Water, Dirt, Loose items may fall out! When you take an item out. Its still protected. Its a good idea!
Two) Organization/Pack-ability/and Packing load.
The Zip-Lock's can Organize by size and use! Tooth paste/Tooth brush "I would use two in one for that", A Bag for Clean cloths and One for any dirty clothes!. You get the idea.
One thing to keep in mind. Pack by use. Don't put something your going to use all the time on the Bottom, and something you use just a few times on Top. Like a first Aid kit, Or Firearms. You don't want to search for them when you need them.
Pack-ability and Packing Load are almost the same.
You don't want all the weight at the bottom, or two one side. This may cause you to be unstable and fall, & on long trips. It will wear you down fast! The Zip-Lock's almost make everything the same Style/Shape for packing.
You want the Pack load to be balance: Left to Right, Front to Back. And have the bulk of the weight mid-high in a Regular pack!
If you dealing with a pack with a Hip-Strap "Back-Packing Bag". First fit the Bag empty to you. Then Pack the weight High, And Bulky Items High as well.
If the Bag is packed right and fitted right. It should be Balance, All the weight on your Hips not the shoulders "You can check this by running your two fingers under your shoulders straps. You should not feel any weight". The shoulder strap are only there for Lifting/Lowering, Then keeping the Pack from falling back!
