Learn how to efficiently pack and organize your Outback Shower Carry Bag to protect your gear and simplify your camp setup.
Quick answer
Packing your Outback Shower Carry Bag correctly keeps your gear dry, prevents damage, and saves setup time at camp. Follow the steps below to organize everything from the pump and hose to the shower tent.
Why packing order matters
The Outback Shower Carry Bag is padded and waterproof, but how you load it affects how easy it is to carry and how quickly you can set up. Heavy items should sit low and centered, while frequently used parts like the pump and hose belong near the top or in an outside pocket.
A common mistake is stuffing everything in without separating wet or dirty items. Even though the bag is waterproof, storing a damp shower tent next to dry clothes or electronics can lead to mildew or corrosion.
Step-by-step packing guide
- Step 1: Prepare your gear: Shake out and dry any moisture from the shower tent, pump, and hose. Coil the hose loosely to avoid kinks. Remove the lithium battery from the pump if it's removable and store it separately in a dry pouch. Never pack a damp hose or tent — moisture trapped inside the waterproof bag can cause mold or rust.
- Step 2: Load the heaviest items first: Place the pump and battery (if not removed) at the bottom center of the bag. This keeps the bag balanced and easier to carry. If you have the shower tent, fold it flat and lay it on top of the pump. Heavy items near the bottom prevent the bag from tipping over when you set it down.
- Step 3: Organize small accessories: Use the interior pockets or a small stuff sack to store the shower head, quick connectors, and any adapters. Tuck the coiled hose along the side wall so it doesn't tangle with other items. Storing small parts loose leads to lost pieces — always use a pocket or pouch.
- Step 4: Secure the top and carry: Thread the Outback Shower handle through the ergonomic top slot. Zip the bag closed, then adjust the padded shoulder strap for a comfortable fit. The hands-free option is ideal for longer walks from the car to camp. Make sure the handle is fully seated in the slot so the bag hangs straight and doesn't swing.
