The dual strap permits the releasably secured bag segments to be separated completely.

A portable, lightweight, insulated, and heated storage device is provided. The heated storage device is movable between a closed condition adapted to maintain stored items therein at a predetermined temperature and an open condition for externally radiating heat.

A soft-side container is sized to fit inside larger luggage such as a suitcase. It has a peripheral zipper that aids in compressing the contents of the container when it is loaded, such as with clothing, thereby tending to take less space in the suitcase. It also has a suspension system permitting the container to be hung from a hanger rod, or from another container of the same type, in a cascade of shelves. To aid in this function, the container has an expanding side wall, and also a form-preserving spreader that tends to cause the container to hold itself in a generally planar configuration to function more effectively as a shelf.

A backpack having multiple pouches on an inside flap can have a fastener which horizontally extends across the flap and which secures kitchen utensils, such as knives, in place. The flap can have multiple aligned pouches which extend laterally across a bottom portion of the flap. A distance above the flaps is a base fastener which extends on a base from one lateral end of the flap to the opposite lateral end. When the handles of kitchen utensils, such as knives, are placed inside respective pouches, the sharpened section of each knife is at least partially exposed. A strap fastener is attached at one lateral end of the flap and removably engages with the base fastener. The strap fastener secures the knives in place by overlapping with the knives and engaging with the exposed portions of the base fastener.
