Bikepacking - a viable alternative to racks & panniers

Love to see it. Could you share a pic in use?

I'm not sure if this is what your after, but here you go..

.. I thought it might be a bit wobbly but it's actually been rock solid. I guess whole thing weighs about 450g which, considering I'd probably put a 300g mudguard on if it wasn't there anyway, doesn't seem too bad..

I've toyed with the idea of trying something like this (also on the rack) instead..

.. but I'd probably just end up cutting the straps off and ultimately losing some storage/flexibility so would just be a vanity purchase really.
