I use one of these on my bike and really like it a lot. It has a stiff plastic insert on the bottom, so it's like a removable rack. It's expandable so it's only as long as it needs to be depending on how much stuff you have in it. …

… It might be cool to attach my toolbag outside the bikepack, if possible, to further expand the volume, and make the tools more quickly accessible…
PS: See this additional
post about attaching tool bag.

Hi [MENTION=137322]Jerrys88[/MENTION],
I didn’t realize that you wrote that first post to this thread describing the

Adventure Fest, a three–day bicycling weekend in Pennsylvania sponsored by
Bicycle Times Magazine. As I posted to that thread,

I even bought myself a seat bag with features I have been seeking for months…

BTW, the above picture is from early Friday evening; Saturday and Sunday were gorgeous.
