Same here regarding my backpacking gear. The only piece of kit I don’t pre-pack is the down quilt.

I always have a smaller version of my overnight backpack ready to go. All I check are food and water, because nothing co-exists with the big pack.

For that matter, with only a couple additional exceptions, my big pack is always ready to go too.

One particular moment was my first visit to Pinnacles national park, a guy in front of me was stopped and asked if I had a flashlight as there was a cave ahead. I popped out my headlamp and we both safely traversed the quite interesting cave.
