How can I conveniently dump a backpack or bag of holding?
After completing some odd quests to get a special sword, I found myself loving bags of all varieties. Sometimes, I just get the urge to put on some pink leather armor, and prance around while I fill up my little golden bags of holding with as many pretty flowers as I can find.
The trouble is, emptying these portable inventories is a bit of a chore when you carry a few or more. Primarily, I use an Ender pouch linked to a chest that dumps into my AE system to empty out my inventory while adventuring, but I don't like sending back a bunch of things that are just going to occupy types needlessly on my drives. Hence, I fill up my beautiful little bags, and spend close to half an hour emptying them when I finally return.
There's no way that I can find to hook these up to any kind of conduit or interface to make emptying them into sorting chests automatic. I want to put my bags and backpacks in something, then get back empty bags. What can I use to do this? I'm currently playing the Direwolf20 1.7.10 pack, but I'm up for anything that works, in-pack or not.
I know I could use portable cells from AE2, but:
- Same problem with lots of different types (there's over 100 types of seeds)
- Expensive to make, and you have to charge them, so it's easier to carry a bunch of bags or backpacks
- They ... just aren't ... pretty enough.
Best Answer
You must have a horrendous amount of portable storage if it takes you half of an hour to empty it. The best I can say to do is set up a sorting system with pipes or ducts (if you have them) use enderpouches. I hope that I helped in some way. Have good luck.

Where can I keep my backpack?
Backpacks. The best way to store backpacks is to keep them someplace where they're easy to grab on your way out the door. If you have a mudroom, place backpacks in a cubby or on hooks alongside coats and other items. Otherwise, hooks near your entry door or on the inside of your closet door work well.How do you pick up a backpack for better storage?

Backpacking Tip: For maximum stability, load your backpack so the heaviest equipment is next to your back and centered in the pack. Medium-weight gear should be carried toward the top and outside portion of the pack and lightweight gear, like your sleeping bag, should be packed in the bottom.Watch this BEFORE you buy a BACKPACK for backpacking

Answer 2
With Forestry Backpacks you can shift right-click the bag onto a chest or a Storage Drawer controller and it will empty what the storage will accept.
