Last year I made my DIY cargo panel and it turned out great. Here is the original thread if you missed it.

So I used it last fall for whitetail season here in Missouri. I hauled my Lone Wolf stand and climbing sticks. It worked good with no issues. I decided I liked the CP's versatility and wanted to try to configure a multi day system with the CP as the foundation. My thought was to have a two part system that could easily merge into one. It would go from a complete multi day pack to a hunting pack and back again quickly and with little effort (not having to move and reconfigure the lid and every strap). The main goal was that everything in the hunting setup could stay in its place and not have to be moved when loading up camp, moving, and unloading again. So first thing first. I made my version of a camp bag. The main bag is basically the same dimensions as an EMR 2. It's a roll top design with a two way center zipper. This allows me to have access to the contents even with the top rolled up and locked down.
I later added the two small side pockets for longer items to be strapped to the outside.
Next I addressed my guide lid. I had never been happy with how it was originally attached to the frame. I later went to adjustable buckles, found out I never adjusted it, no mater what size load I seemed to carry. So I did a little surgery and installed 3 bar sliders. It's now mounted at the highest point of the frame and works great.
Here she is all loaded up and ready to go. Note the large pocket on the bottom of the CP. It's my first one built to my own dimensions and it turned out nice.
KEEP SCROLLING! THERE'S MORE!!!
