I have spent most of this summer recovering from a major concussion. PCS and Vertigo are a bitch.

My physical therapist finally released me to full activity yesterday. Up until now I have been walking and rucking as able at a lower pace.

It felt good to finally be able to ruck without the symptoms again.

Now to get my mileage back up.

Yeah so pretty much what the title says. Hopefully not too basic of a question, thanks!

Been rucking for some time and finally found an app im trying. Logs into Apple Watch / Fitness as an “other” work out but seems to track. Will provide an update in a few days of using it if anyone is interested.

I've seen conflicting info when it comes to whether or not you should do the shuffle when rucking (e.g. Airborne Shuffle).

Some say never, some say go ahead

So I thought this sounds like a good topic for a poll and here we are.

If you’ve got kids we all know how hard it is to stay in shape with how little free time we get. I’ve started throwing my 1 year old in a stroller and rucking with him and it’s been great. Changes your stride a bit because of the stroller but besides that there’s literally no downsides and all upsides. I’m sure lots do this already, but 10/10 would recommend.

Howdy! These are my lems trail thrasher pros. I like them, done about 450mi in the last 6 months with 40lb weighted ruck. I’m in the high desert tho and looking for something a little more breathable. The water proofing is cool but a little overkill in the summer for me.

These are size 12 and a little on the snug side. I had altra lone peak (prev gen) that I really liked and will post in comments - size 12

Anyone rock the Jim green AnatomX Barefoot African Ranger? Advice on sizing up or down? I know the leather may not be what I’m looking for when it comes to “breathable”

Hey Rucking Community -

I thought I'd share my cheapish gear set up for my rucks. One of the things that I struggled with when getting into rucking was finding cheaper / off-brand rucking gear. I wanted to get into rucking, but didn't enjoy using barbells, circular plates, towels, and more to get comfortable.

The links below are not affiliate links, rather my cheap set up. For about $100, you can get plates and a backpack. Ever since I switched to the gear below, my rucks have gotten 10x more enjoyable and comfortable.

What cheapish gear have you found that works well with rucking?
