Camp-Ready Gear in a 32L Pack

This is the Rothco European Rucksack loaded out. Some of the gear is redundant and won’t make the final camping trip, but I wanted to show just how much you can fit in a 32 liter canvas pack if you pack with purpose.

Do you need all this gear…nope, but it all fits!! Want the full gear list? Drop a comment and I’ll lay it out!
