Bag is made completely of 1000D Cordura. with 1.5" nylon webbing strap from something or other sewing onto top bottom and back.

Plastic insert on top with some packing foam taped to it.
Bottom has thicker packing foam with plastic and the back section is foam only.

Bag number two.

Bigger frame triangle means I can actually make a more complex bag.
This one is 3" at the front and tapers to 2 1/4" by the cranks.
I have 3 spaced out velcro straps sewn inside, into the bottom and one on the back to hold
things in place when the bag isn't stuffed full.

Hello.

I am currently in the process of making another frame bag. This one is actually big enough to carry a few things

I am stuck on the endless internal divider/securing option and would love some visuals of what others have done and tested successfully.
I seem to be leaning toward some sort of strap option, probably coming out of the bottom down tube panel and up in order to pull down onto the downtube,
any cargo that could bounce around if the bag isn't packed full. Leaning toward velcro straps but open to any and all other ideas:)

Thanks.

I have a rather burly version on my CamelBack pack. It's supposed to be a helmet sleeve but I have used it for a great number of things. From carrying drills and shovels into the bush for trail building to transporting toilet paper from the car to the house As far as the Osprey pack goes, being able to roll up a jacket and stuff it in there on a hike or a dry bag when bikepacking is good enough

Pretty cool!

Not sure what to call this thing.
Its intended purpose is to add a bit more cpacity to my existing pack and is designed around a 5 liter dry bag.
I would probably put some lighter stuff in it, like clothing or something, in order make room in the pack for a few more heavier things.


Bungee webbing utilizes existing D rings on the bottom and loops around the pack side compression straps.
Pocket thingy sewn out of old duffel bag parts with the addition of three SS banner grommets from work.
Made a velcro topped pocket and successfully pulled off my first attempt at sewing in a liner.
I won't mention the part where I had to dismantle everything and re do it

Biner on the bottom to allow disconnection of outer thingy and access to lower pockets.
Doesn't look too out of place on the pack which is nice:)

Oh I got that
 

Think I know what to do with my stove kit now

Can you post another picture further away please?
Maybe a few more views of the actual bag?
The rocket/bomb idea is great


Thanks.

Think you're gonna need to resize those photos buddy. Not entirely sure of any code to have them show right, so you may need to just decrease the dimensions in paint and re-upload.

That's better

Finally...

And

Did pretty much everything wrong and still managed to pull it off

Repurposed duffle bag cordura.
Repurposed zipper from same duffle bag.
Extra seatbelt I reclaimed from a wreck for hammock straps, cut and used as bag straps.
Plastic re enforcement in top panel.

Next steps:
Purchase and sew on 2 inch velcro strips to straps.
Trim and burn the strap edges.
Replace metal zipper pull with paracord or something less noisy.

You can also cut down some lock on grips. They just plastic with rubber on the outside.

I ran a paper clip through the nose bridge area of my balaclava. This way I can bend the clip and form the material around my nose which blocks the air from shooting up inside my glasses and fogging. Another option is to make your mouth hole larger.

Anyone have an mtb trail route through Ganaraska forest I have a plan to do an overnight in that area next season.

The front and rear harness were cut from a 1/16" PVC sheet used as a cover on a pallet. I took off the guy line webbing as it was overkill. Everything stayed put without it.
I have used it a number of times now and it's solid. This weekend I had my rain gear wrapped around a 2 liter water bottle in there with no problem:)

Weighed my prototype which is the same with maybe an inch less plastic material .37 pounds/159 grams on my work shipping scale

I packed up my 12"x6", 5L OR drybag pretty much stuffed full with a sleeping bag and took it to my test trail.
Happy to find out that it passed with flying colours!

I rode 40minutes of very very rough tech trails complete with steep rolldowns
 and boosting roots for the heck of it to see what would happen.

Glad to report zero movement, no issues getting back behind the seat for steep technical rolldowns.
Only slightly touches my back foot leg when standing and coasting.

 The thing that made it work as far as the leg touching goes was the way I tied the bag to the post.
I did NOT clip the snap around the post, and instead wrapped a velcro strap
around the post first then around the bag connecting in front of the post again.
This pulled the bag into the post and kind of curled it around the post enough to take the bulk
out of the leg touching area. It's also secure, doesn't move and doesn't overly stretch the material.

 I added four grommets to the back end. Using some extra cord I had lying around.
I make an X pattern to support the bag from behind in case it wants to make it's way out or up
the post over time while pedaling. I added the fabric thing to keep the cord in an X pattern and
because it looks cool. It comes loose to fit the bag in and I pull it tight and wrap the extra cord around the seat.
Holds fine, no problems.

Now the pictures:

The harness is holding a 5 liter "6x12" dry bag with a Hennessey Hammock in it. The weight is at around 4.5LBS. I also want to give credit to Kaivi as I came up with this idea while working on how to copy his great invention without the use of the 1,000 pound Drainpipe:)
