New at camping and hiking. My 12 year old is in Boy Scouts. He has packed light, but the backpack is still so bulky. We can’t use a framed backpack because he will have to crawl through some low areas and push his stuff through the opening. I know there must be an easy way to put it all together. The load has to be light enough for a 12 year old child to carry on a caving expedition. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Can I wrap my luggage at the SFO Airport?

I’m going camping somewhere and I’m using my backpack as luggage. I’m worried that my sleeping pad will fall out so I want to wrap it. Will they provide something there [like saran wrap] for me to wrap my luggage with or do I have to do it myself?
