- You should be wearing a helmet, but I won't force my choices on
you. Anyway, I put all my stuff in a roughly 8"x10" square mesh
utility bag I bought at REI. I sewed straps onto the side to
clip it to the back of my seat harness. I sewed the other end
of the clips to the harness. I also wrap about 15ft of 1/8"
shock cord around the main straps of the harness to keep the
bag from bouncing around. I put little hooks on the end of the
shock cord to use it as an emergency line to keep everything
together on the water.

- The only hassle with this is that you need to aquaseal all the
seams.
