Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

Of course. I thought rhb switched from bungees to compression straps and I was curious if the issue with stability (when not full) was still present. But I believe I misread this post.

I'm going to pick up a dry bag and try the DIY saddlebag approach. I don't think I'd use a saddlebag anywhere near enough to justify buying one, whereas a dry bag has loads of uses.

Straps haven't been used yet, still on bungees as pictured.
