FWIW, the little Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Nano Ultralight Day Pack is about an ounce and will haul quite a bit of stuff in a pinch and packs down small enough to clip onto a keychain or stuff in a little seat wedge.
I don’t think anyone is saying it’s bad in a pinch. As someone who eats and who, until this year, drove fewer than 3,000/year, I’ve done it plenty of times over decades. But there are (obviously) better ways, especially considering the OPs crash history.
And yes. Sea to Summit makes great products. I have one of their mattresses and their collapsible bowl and cup.
