I, being a photography enthusiast who likes to travel, usually reads backpacker guides and articles from ww web searching for tips and tricks, looking for backpack contents and ways of organising them.
I have read tonnes of articles on uses of packing cubes and compression sacs for packing things in your backpack.
While agreeing to the uses of all these, one thing that I found to be useful and cheap was never given its due place in backpacking world, named Packing Mesh.
Yes, it is the small plastic net which is used to pack onions in supermarkets.
They are absolutely cheap, free of cost if you buy vegetables from big stores, and a wonderful packing and organising material for a backpacker.
While it will not give the tight packing ability of compression sacs or easy organisation of cubes, the virtual costless nature against 200Rs(3-4$) for packing cube and may be 10 times costlier compression sacs, gives it a potential to become an important item in backpacker essentials especially for students and travellers with low budget.
