It says there is a side pocket. is this the kangaroo pouch? is the kangaroo pouch detachable?

I want to use this for international backpacking even though it is not necessarily designed for that. Good idea / bad idea?

It has a side access zipper, that accesses the internal chamber. the "kangaroo pocket" on the front is not removable, but the lid is, but doesn't have a belt to use a a small pack. This pack would be great for travel, but it isn't the toughest fabric Arc'teryx uses (but stronger than anyone else in this weight category) for that, check the Naos.
