No science here. Gregory sells both side and large back pockets that attach to
their packs. I bought a full back pocket and went hiking with it. I added two
side pockets and was not happy with them so I sent them back - I did not really
need the extra room anyway - and then I added a hip pocket from Eagle Creek for
maps, and a shoulder strap pocket for my camera that includes a nice "cinch
down" strap and is actually secure and fairly rain-proof without even being closed.

I don't sew either - though I did get my wife to sew my AT Patch on the top of
my pack with lots of pleading :).
