You didn't make clear why you are renting a car, but it sounds like you're intending to do a section hike and not a thru-hike. I had a hard time figuring out how it would work until I guessed you're...
I can’t speak directly on the 2022 Long Haul. I carried a 2018 LH50L on the PCT, CDT, and BMT. What I can say is that the attachment points on the Movement 40L work well. I hiked the Pinhoti Trail...
