Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

Very pleased with the Revelate Tangle bag (thank you @KT_Bee)! You need a bit of practice to learn how to fit it in a timely manner, but very good sturdy fixing, as well as easy to open zippers. Could definitely do with a bigger size, especially for the left side small pocket (could barely fit passports), but it wouldn't fit this frame.

Unrelated, I started taping the frame with electric tape to save the paint from being polished away by the rubbing of the Apidura bags (both saddle and handlebar), I tape it and remove it every time I go away for few days. Anyone else is having these issues? Other solutions?
