The bag may be permanently attached to the back pack by a third strap and can be temporarily attached to the back pack by a fourth strap. The third strap may have a first end which is permanently attached at a top of a body portion nearer a first side of the back pack than a second side of the back pack. The third strap may have a second end which is permanently attached to the bag. The apparatus may be further comprised of an attachment device which is attached to the second strap. A first end of the fourth strap may be permanently attached to the bag. A second end of the fourth strap may be configured to be temporarily attached to the attachment device, to thereby temporarily attach the second end of the fourth strap to the second strap.
