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

Shoulder relief?

I liked the Wild Gym better, but honestly I went back to my Lundhags Dovre 30 with plates or bricks for my daily rucks.I made a post about my thoughts and confusion on GORUCK some time ago. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to actually try the Rucker 4.0. It’s not as bad as I thought, but it’s bas

Bag question

I have a 25 liter GoRuck Rucker 4.0 and it is perfect for me. I’m not a GoRuck diehard or fanatic by any means. No hate or shame on any bag but here is why I like my bag. -I only use it for rucking and exercise. It has room for other things too which I use for a jump rope, a tension band specificall

Somewhat newbie question

I wouldn’t start at 50. Try 5 rucks @20lbs 5@25 5@30 Etc. This will let you get your kit dialed in and your body used to the frequency. The Osprey will work. Just like backpacking the advice is to get the weight high and close to your back. This will take some fiddling with a large pack like yours.

GoRuck vs Wild Gym vs Other

I’m just shy of 6’3” and use the 25L Rucker 4.0. I bought it in March 2022 and it looks new minus a scratch from being accidentally dragged on concrete. I bought it with the hip belt and after a couple uses took it off. The pack sits high and tight like another person commented. I have a 25lb plate

[Review] cTactical cT21 Tanker Backpack — A Solid GoRuck Alternative Under $100

Thanks for the review. I have a Rucker 4.0, and it's been so good I was thinking of getting a GoRuck as a travel backpack. Looks like I should just grab this instead. I am also 6'1", thanks for providing measurements!

Backpack suggestion for tall heavy guy.

GoRuck 4.0. There's no close second. Spend once cry once.

GoRuck vs Wild Gym vs Other

I started with a camelbak with the bladder removed and with a 20lb weight. It was fine, but I wanted more weight. My goal is 45lbs - and so I went with the goruck Rucker 4.0. I bought mine used before they recently dropped the price (barely used, some guy bought it and used it once and decided it wa

What is the best edc item on Amazon under $250?

Depends on what you would get value out of. Quality earbuds are insanely useful, and the Sony WF-1000XM5 are $248 on Amazon right now. As others have mentioned, an Anker power bank can be a life saver. At that price point, I'd probably look at bags. I have had a GoRuck for 12 years, and that bag has

Newbie question on upper back soreness

Yeah even with a proper rucking pack and flat plates I had soreness in my middle traps just above my shoulder blades. It can also be a gear issue, the higher the weight and closer to the body the more easy it is to remain upright to not counter balance the weight that is pulling downward at the bott
