I’m the complete opposite to you, I very rarely do day hunts. Usually always 1 -2 nights. I find that having a shelf system with all your gear squared away in clusters, from sleeping gear, to active gear(boots poles gators etc) a shelf for food and cooking stuff, miscellaneous stuff like power banks and chargers, torch’s and plb, this system really helps me grab everything I need and nothing I don’t depending on where I go. I keep everything compartmentalised in my pack too. It’s good fun getting gear optimised for the best and most efficient time on the hill. One thing I do still struggle with is the clothes thing, in winter time I alway take thermals and spare socks and crampons too so the general weight seems to creep up. Overnights are definitely where it’s at, sun down and sun ups in the bush!! The bomb! Keep at it and you will soon have your gear optimised and the overnights will be awesome!
