Small rille on sling I prefer a day pack, big rifle I prefer bumbag as I use a biathlon sling which rules out using a daypack. I carry 2 700ml canteens no matter which pack I'm using cause you can survive without food but without water you're soon f***ed.

I know the "R" word is a bit scary to you old farts but bumbag wins every time where running is involved.
