There are commercially available top packs. About any tack store that carries packing equipment will carry them. Some you tie them down with a diamond or other hitch.Some have straps and buckles that you secure them with.

These folks carry a No Knot system. https://www.outfitterssupply.com/horse-packing-equipment.asp

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
