The old way vs new way of packing snowmobile gear for long trips

I used to just throw everything in a big duffel bag, tools, clothes, spare parts all mixed together. Then last winter on a 3 day trip to the UP, I spent 45 minutes digging for a spark plug in a snowbank at 10pm. Now I use those clear plastic bins from Target, one for tools, one for clothes, one for emergency stuff. Took me way too long to realize how much time I was wasting. Anyone else switched to a system like this, or do you still just toss it all in a sled bag?

Maybe it's just me but 45 minutes digging for a spark plug feels like a bit of an exaggeration, idk. Most sled bags have at least some pockets you could toss the small stuff into. I mean, I get the appeal of bins, but that's a lot of plastic to haul around in a truck bed that could be used for fuel cans or a cooler. Seems like overkill for a weekend trip really.

Overkill for a weekend trip" is a bit dramatic, don't you think?
