Make sure everything is as secure as possible. Organize your camera equipment so that things stay tightly in place, even if you move your case around. You may even want to use extra cloths or cushions to softly hold your camera gear in place, and to protect it from its surroundings. Items like lenses and cameras need to have their own caps, and memory such as SD cards will be more safe if they have a case for their own homes too. Starting with a checklist can help when you’re packing and when you’re repacking once the trip is over.
