I am curious to know what methods people use for concealed carry while backpacking. Up till now I have carried a small .380 in a plastic bag (to protect from moisture) in my pocket while backpacking but my preferred carry gun is a Springfield XD-40 Subcompact. I am having trouble deciding how to carry it so that it is protected from moisture and concealed yet is readily available. Most of my backpacking is done on the Appalachian Trail and I do not wish to make other hikers feel ill at ease, therefore open carry is not really an option, but I am not willling to sacrifice the safety of myself and my companions by leaving my firearm behind. Any methods or techniques that have worked for you or others would be greatly appreciated.
