I first tried cardboard, that worked well enough that I decided to buy some Coroplast at home despot for a permanent addition. I put lots of parallel creases in the Coroplast about 2 inches apart from each other so that is in the bottom and rolls up the sides of the bag.
ha, I've only ever used two clips also....thanks.

interesting idea on the coroplast. I've always had the tent in mine, so the shape of the rolled up tent in its bag has kept the shape well enough. Generally I've always kept stuff in the rackpack that I only take out at end of day, so it has always kept its shape well enough due to teh stuff in it. Ive sometimes stuck a watermelon or whatever stuff bought off a roadside vendor in Latin America, so I've always found it handy to have spare room in it, same idea for end of day groceries before heading to a campground.
