Please don't buy the GOruck bags

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

what ruck/weight vest do you use?

If you don’t plan to ever do anything other than the weighted carry for your dog walks, check out the Goruck Ruck Plate carrier. It can carry one short plate, so 20 or 30 lbs. Simple and minimalist. Get the yes4all ruck plate, should be half the cost of the goruck plates. The Rucker 4.0 is worth the

Picking a pack: weight on hips or between shoulder blades? Fit for long torso?

I disagree that rucks like Goruck are just a marketing gimmick. It really depends on what you intend to do rucking.

66% off Go Ruck Basic on Amazon

I also took advantage of that sale. My pack is armor gray. I wanted it to be less tacticool looking but still distinctive. Regarding the actual question, yes I feel the basic Rucker was an upgrade from my DIY solution. The same weight feels more secure and comfortable in the Goruck vs DIY.

Can the GR2 26L function as an office EDC or is it too big?

6 month window

Water bottle pockets...really?? I'm at 9000' and I'm able to hydrate sufficiently well before/after...🤷‍♂️ Maybe you're on a much longer ruck? What actually mattered to me: I ruck heavy and ended up purchasing a Frontline Athletics Navigator 21L (it's great, sorry). Deciding factor for me was including

The perfect backpack

I would study the suspension designs of the following backpacks for the shoulder strap, frame sheet part: Hill People Gear Umlindi, GoRuck GR1, GR2 or Rucker 4.0, Kifaru Checkpoint. Then I would look at the belt suspension systems of Kifaru larger packs, ULA Equipment and the belt Option for GoRuck.

Rucker 5.0 new features?

Umm this is the least informative comment on here since the GoRuck Ruck 4.0 and 5.0 are specifically designed for holding weight for rucking. They are moving from Ruck 4.0 to Ruck 5.0 implies changes and I want to ensure that it isn't a downgrade or upgrade adding features like zippers instead of Ve
