camo backpack rain covers Stone Glacier Cover but that shouldn’t stop you from getting outside with your ruck Varusteleka Backpack Rain Cover, Camo

Which one is the better buy

For these local hikes, I realized I only needed to carry 5-ish things water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, mini-wallet, tripod, phone, and a place to shove my jacket

I personally like to look for dramatic changes in the canal structure

Best fastpack for thru-hiking: Gossamer Gear Fast Kumo 36 Fastpack Capacity: 36 L Weight: 20.7 - 21.5 oz Hydration capacity: 2 soft flasks, 2 x 1L bottles, hydration sleeve What we liked: Comfortable padded shoulder straps, larger capacity, comfortable back panel doubles as a sit pad What we didnt like: Weird sizing The Gossamer Gear Fast Kumo 36s 30L capacity in the main compartment (plus more in the exterior pockets) makes the Kumo an awesome choice for fast thru-hiking where you need a larger capacity for longer food and water carries
