Hi Folks,

I am looking for some suggestions for carrying equipment, It will be mostly for camping or days out, just not sure what options work better than others. Any good or bad experiences?

Thanks in advance.

You would need to do some experimenting. Slowly increasing the load until the bungee cords allow it to move in a sharp turn.
Forum member "WhiteNoise" had some Cam Straps that looked interesting. Easier than ratchet straps to tighten and loosen. Don't know the price.

If the video didn't work try this way:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2PAUsaZhjUA

Rok Straps are great straps for securing bags, etc.
I bought 2 sizes off Amazon but haven't used them yet. They're well liked by many riders.
