I like to carry kits or modules for various chores and functions while on the trail - a food bag, a stuff sack for the sleeping bag, etc., and I am always looking for light containers because the weight does add up. Zip lock bags are your friend here. Pouches and pockets on the pack itself come in handy and some items will stuff into their own pockets, creating a module that is easy to find, like a lightweight jacket I am currently carrying routinely (Patagonia Houdini).
I am not the most organized person, but it pays off....
