The fancy word a feedsack pack is a Yukon pack. I used one for a couple years and it worked well. Then someone had pity on me and gave me three external frame packs.

You can make one with about three feet of 2 1/2 inch webbing and a few feet of parachute cord.

If you want to be brave, you can use your ground cloth or tarp instead of the feedsack.
