I have variations. I like to cut pieces of leukotape and stick then to the non stick backing of name tags. And for rain, I put my arms through the pit zips and you have a rain vest. Your wet arms radiate excess heat and your torso stays dry. My Hydo Blu filter does the same as their Sawyer Hack without the adapter. I need to try the puffy pillow. Still looking for the optimal pillow.

I spent 30 something bucks on one of those zpack bags only to never use it, could have been a great bag if it had a stiff opening edge to fold against, it just wadded up when I tried to use it.

I bought one of the packing cubes from Superior Wilderness Designs for clothes and it really works great. Fits perfectly in the pack with no leftover voids."Dazed and Confused"

I’d like to try rolling and packing my sleep pad. Currently, I fold it and pack it so it’s against my back. Lately I’ve been covering it with a compactor bag because it got wet a few months ago, even with my pack cover on.
Another advantage for me is things stay tidier in my tent. At night, I always put everything not needed during the night into my pack which then becomes a jumbled mess.Lost in the right direction. -

I don't even bother with a pack cover. I let it get wet. I use the Nylofume bags as a pack liner. Everything that needs to stay dry goes in there. I have a smaller nylo bag that is a the food bag liner. That goes on top. Tent in the outer pouch.

At least one interesting idea, DIY turning flip flops into stabler water crossing shoes utilizing old shoe strings.
