You are disgustingly organized. A sure sign of mental illness.
I used to just throw stuff as I bought it into a 5 gallon bucket and carry it around with me. After a couple months of fishing it was such a mess. I'd forget I even had stuff and had doubles and triples of the same thing. So I finally broke down and said I gotta stop this and organized my stuff. Now that I have the set up, I am really happy with it.
If I am really hiking far or know the exact type of fishing I will be doing, I also have a fanny pack set up that is super light weight. The back pack is a bit bulky, so sometimes I just can't drag that much junk along.
