Sounds good.  I have gotten into the habit of putting almost all
food items into plastic bags at this point, usually one meal
(supper or breakfast) per bag as an organizational aid.  That
also gives me a bag for that meal's pack-out garbage, which is
then put into the internally clean general garbage bag (and
in turn into the food bag that hangs overnight).

Food packing may change a bit if I start using some of
the info in my newly purchased NOLS Cookery Book.

One concern, though: what happens when you put damp clothes
in a plastic bag?  Mebbe you need some combination of plastic
(for dry stuff) and mesh (for, um, "used" or wet clothing).
