I can tell you from experience that you'll probably never need anything that big. Unless you're traveling through some foreign country and living off the land you'll never use that capacity. I traveled 10 days cross country and I could have made due with a couple changes of clothes and a small tool kit. Buy some soft luggage and be done with it. In most places you can find food and a laundry mat... Just MHO...

I'm looking for basically 1/2 of what he has, but I want room to strap a tent, sleeping bag, and small folding chair to the top. I already have soft luggage, I was just thinking about upgrading.

Alright then... Kick ass and carry on.

I think the "quick release" or pita release is going to be the challenge. If it were me I wouldn't worry about the containers as much as the support mechanism... I'd prolly look for some old ammo containers actually... That could be badass and much easier...
