I use a sturdy frame backpack, combined with a waterproof bag of 60 liters. The system carries well and keeps your gear crispy dry, even after two weeks of persistant rain. I have even used the system as a floatationdevice to cross a river. The bag is attached to the frame with adjustable straps (home made) to carry any bag with appropriate size. You can also attach side bags, showed on on the ‘Clothes and Boots’ page. The bag can be placed directly into a canoe or kayak.
Tip
Put rubber bands around your hipbelt, for more grip around your hips.
