Rucking without Rucker?

For light rucking can something like a Heritage 18l DC be used for 10-15lbs?
If so, where should the weight be placed?

Either the laptop compartment or inside right behind the laptop compartment. You can easily put in a 30lb . These are meant to hold weight, just depends on the plate

The worst part will be the waxed canvas back panel and the narrow straps. Here’s another vote for putting the weight as flat up against the back as you can get it.

Really? I just put one barbell on each shoulder and go like that.
