Answer

For the first sentence, canopy is great. A tarp also covers things (for example, a bale of hay), but not usually so far off the ground. And Mikkel is correct; it's rucksack. If it's carried on the back, you can also say backpack.

For the second sentence, I usually hear "bus stop shelter."   Canopy would be understood, but it's not common usage.
Hope this helps. :-)

Answer

Notice, it's "rucksack" not "racksack".

The best I, as a non-native speaker, can come up with is

1.
We put our rucksacks and firewood under a (improvised) tarpaulin shelter.

2.
Several people are waiting out the rain under a bus stop shelter.
