You sold the one that works. All you had to do is make some minor adjustments on the 5.0 If you want comfort get a cross country or an alpine backpack and load it up. Nothing will carry quite like a Goruck Rucker it’s specifically designed to carry the weight higher on your back. Suffering is part o

The standard answer is a GORUCK Rucker with plates. Given that in 60 days you will be training with what they give you, I am not sure that it matters what you use right now. Not knowing your current fitness level, I am thinking the one thing you will gain in that time is strengthening your traps. If

I've been using goruck for months now. Usually I do 30 pounds but have gone up to 45 here and there. I started with a cheap frame ruck. It was alright. I know how to adjust weight in bags to make them comfortable. My father was army for 22 years and taught me how to. But the rucker 4.0 is virtually

If one wants plates, Yes4All plates are like 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of Goruck plates and will fit great as long as you pick the right sizes (you can stack 2 x 15lbs on top of each other in the Rucker pockets, for example).

I've been happy with my fjallraven raven. I do like my goruck rucker gen 1, but it's hard to justify the price. If I was looking for something similar I'd look at CTactical. People have compared the goruck and CT bags on Reddit if you're considering.

It's almost like Goruck is a gimmick for tactitools

Start with your vest and see if this is something you want to do consistently. I used an old 5.11 backpack for 6 weeks and the backpack is durable, but it’s not designed to carry a ruck plate. Eventually I got a Goruck Rucker 5.0. Yes I really like it and would recommend it, if you decide you’re ser

I haven’t found a reason TO buy the Rucker or plates, for that matter. $12 close out pack and (2) $1.88 1x8x16 concrete blocks got me 32lbs. I’ll tune in the final weight with a hammer. The thing to keep in mind is Rucking as an A.R.T. Active Resistance Training. Unless you’re showing up for a GoRuc
