Certainly! Here's a step-by-step guide to pack all these items efficiently into one bag:

1. **Lay Out Everything**: Before packing, lay out all items to see what you have and plan their arrangement.

2. **Start with the Bulkiest Items**:
- **Blankets**: Fold or roll the three blankets as tightly as possible. Place them at the bottom of the bag.
- **Pillow**: If it's small and flexible, place it next to the blankets or squeeze it into one of the corners for optimal space use.

3. **Clothes and Underwear**:
- Roll your clothes and underwears which saves space and minimizes wrinkles. Place rolled items on top of or around the blankets and pillow, filling any gaps.

4. **First-Aid Bag**:
- Keep this accessible but secure. Place it on top of the clothes or in a side pocket/compartment if the bag has one. It needs to be reachable in case of emergencies.

5. **Towel**:
- If the towel is thick, roll it up and place it along the side of the bag or lay it on top of the clothes. If it’s thin, it can also be rolled tightly and fit into one of the remaining gaps.

6. **Fill Any Gaps**:
- Use smaller items like socks, underwear, or any flexible clothing to fill in gaps. This optimizes space and prevents items from shifting around.

7. **Close and Secure**:
- Once packed, ensure the bag is evenly balanced and not overly stuffed. Secure any zippers or straps, and you’re ready to go!

**Additional Tips**:
- If possible, use compression bags for blankets and clothes to save even more space.
- Pack heavier items at the bottom for better bag stability.
- Keep essential items, like the first-aid bag, easily accessible.

By following this method, you should be able to fit all your items neatly into one bag. Have a great camping trip!
