rucking

Hi everyone. I spent most of last summer rucking with just my 35lb kettlebell in an old backpack. Worked great, felt great. At the end of the summer I upgraded to a goruck setup with weight plates. I actually don't love the backpack and just prefer the KB approach. Before just going all in on...

I just received a question and I'm not sure how to answer it. This is someone with no access to kettlebells and the question revolves around conditioning. My default recommendation is always rucking, but I said I would ask the forum: "What do I do for Zone 2 cardio until I start working again...

I have a new job and have moved to a new city. This has come with a lot of advantages, doing what I really want to do, having a garden and a garage which has become my own courage corner. One of the nicest things has been my commute. I no longer need to drive to work. Instead I have a 3km walk...

Hello, Anybody have any recommendations for a rucking backpack? I'm only going to be using it for rucking as part of my SFG1 prep. I'm not intending to do any multi-day hikes with it. I've got a $200 budget. It does need to fit over winter gear, as the weather gets nasty here in...
