You dont have to roll them up, they can simply be folded flat and fitted to the outside of the pack with the lid closing straps. And maybe an extra around the middle. If we stop thinking that everything that goes in to or on a pack has to be rolled, or fitted in a stuff sac, which is round, then you will find you can carry all the essentials comfortably, with the weight spread out for ease of carry.
