We have bears and racoons here so I hang my non-essentials (pack included) with my food in a PCT method. Everything essential to survival I keep in the hammock or near it at night. Radio (if I'm alone), light, firestarter, water, map, compass.
There are 9 dollar dry bags (set of three sil-treated ripstop) you can get from walmart now that will keep it all dry if you're worried about wet weather. And if I'm worried about that I'll usually have a poncho. I just wrap the pack in the poncho and hang it all.
