Might help if you were more elaborate with "trekking", "fast-paced", and "away from food". You didn't even mention terrain, experience, group or individual, seasons, etc. That could be anything f...
I'd like to illustrate this question with some detail on particular types of ship or boat. The classic image of the Age of Sail is a tall ship with three masts, each festooned with square sails ...
Try them on I feel like you are asking this question because you are buying a backpack online. In that case, I would suggest two things. If you don't backpack much, or if you don't backpack with...

It would take more time but when they are dry at the top have them remove the harness on their own for practice. Tell them when they get to the bottom they should remove the harness when given the ...
