Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. - John Muir
I have two doctors, my left leg and my right. - G.M. Trevelyan

According to an REI article, packing can be broken down into three zones, plus peripheral storage:
Visualize stacking cordwood. You’re laying down rows, not building columns: Fill nooks and crannies until you have a solid, stable load—and be sure weight is equally balanced on each side. Tighten compression straps to streamline your load and prevent it from shifting as you hike.
Come out to the park for this after-hours night hike with the ranger to discover the woods under the light of the Beaver Full Moon! We will follow the 1/2-mile loop trail to explore the sights and sounds of the park. Bring a flashlight if you want… or use just the moonlight if you dare!
Space is limited; REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED by contacting the park office: 910-326-4881.
