Rucksacks, are, in thier most basic form no more than a cloth style bag carried on your back and secured with two straps that go over the shoulders and underneath the arm pits.
Rucksacks are preferred for carrying heavy loads for long periods of time because the shoulders are better suited for bearing heavy weights for long periods of time than the hands are. Large rucksacks can offload part of their weight onto padded hip belts. This improves ease of carrying, because the hips are even stronger than the shoulders, and increases agility, because the load rides nearer your own center of mass.
