A rucksack is a bag that people carry on their back for hiking or traveling. It usually has straps and pockets to keep things organized.

When we think of going on a hike or backpacking trip, a rucksack is often what comes to mind. People pack their rucksacks with everything they need: water bottles, snacks, first aid kits, maps, and sometimes even camping gear. They put it on their back and set off into the wilderness. Some people use smaller rucksacks for day trips or short hikes, while others carry bigger ones for longer adventures. Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just starting out, a good rucksack can make all the difference in making your trip more enjoyable and convenient.
