I don't pack my poles and pegs in the trent.
Reason - if someone takes the gear off the back of the bike - they might have my tent .. but without poles ... Also means there are fewer possiblities of puting a hole in the tent.
The poles and pegs go in the hard panniers .. safer from bending. I'm trying to figure out a way of carring the pegs so they are low and secure.. but keep the dirt out of everything else..
I try to only have soft stuff on the rear of the bike .. thinking that if I hit it (or it hits me) the damage (to me) will be minimial. I'd like to do the same with the tank bag .. unfortunaltly that is the best place for the camera..
