camping backpack dimensions image
Bob
I have a backpack that features molle webbing on the bottom in addition to sides, and I want to use that to expand on the cargo capacity. (putting together a kit that in full can be used for camping, but through the modular nature of molle can quickly be minimized into a basic 3-day survival bag) Ideally, I want a "bag" (really more a big pouch if we want to get technical) that's about 10"x8"x8" with molle strips on at least one of the 10x8 sides (running such that a molle stick would be parallel to the 8" side- if any of my size/shape descriptions are unclear, please say so and I'll post a sketch)
It can be a few inches bigger in any dimension, but prefereably no smaller. A single compartment is fine, but if it has smaller outer pockets (or more molle to attach pouches) even better
If you've seen or own anything like this, just a link would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
if you look at the picture of the bag in this product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003IPI6P0/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
though it doesn't appear to anymore, I saw this a while back and remember that the surface of the outer pockets were all covered in molle webbing. this is more of a duffel bag (though that would work fine, if I took the carry strap off) but its just to give an idea of the size/shape I'm looking for.
with the amazon link about, don't worry about the first aid contents, that not what this is for, just look at the product image that shows just the bag and imagine that bag with molle... just showing it to give an idea of the size/shape of thing I'm looking for

Link is no good but "molle" accessories can be found at any military surplus. That first aid thingamajig on Amazon is way overkill for camping needs or a bug out bag. Consider this advice from REI,

How to Pick Your Next Camping Tent
Answer
Are you backpacking or car camping? The former stresses compact packed-size and light weight, while the latter favors extra floor space and stand-up height.
Are you a fair-weather camper or all-weather camper? If the latter, make sure your tent has a full-coverage rain fly, one-piece bathtub floor, and lots of guy-down points. Pay attention to reviewer's reports of performance during rain.
Ignore the capacity ratings for tents, there are no true standards. Instead, figure out how much space you and your tent-mates need to layout and sleep comfortably, leaving a little extra room to maneuver. Then get a tent that provides least that much floor space. Remember that sloping walls take away as much as 12" from each dimension unless you want to be pressed against the wall.
