Not exactly the mod of the century but I need a bag for my holiday next week and no way was I paying £100 for a purpose made one

£20 for a 100ltr bag

£15 for three straps (the buckles don't hold very well tbh but a quick knot prevents them from loosening)

£12 for a sheet of 4mm rubber

Will pack everything in bin liners so not concerned if the bag leaks.

Its a big bag but only plan on putting sleeping bags and some clothes etc in it.

Quality ratchet straps are probably the most important bit. You can always plastic-bag your contents too to avoid water.

Police just gave it a casual glance but got amusing reaction from other drivers.
