I have done similiar with a bag of dogfood in my pack. Had a friendly dog come sniffing around on that one. It turned out fine but my past results are not an indication of your future

I use the wild gym ruck and find the suspension system very comfortable. The shoulder straps are extra wide and include two movable sternum straps. The hip belt is very effective. Yes, it is pricey,

I'll give one possible response to this.? My big Osprey pack cost a lot more than a rucking pack, and they do wear out.? A couple of years ago, the shoulder strap pulled out of the base of the pack

When I trained with my backpack loaded, I just used large bottles of water and heavy groceries (8 cans of garbanzos ain’t light!) Why buy plates when you have plenty of weights at home? I added bags

There is lots of good information in this topic, I am enjoying the posts.? I am 63 years old, 6'10" tall, bad knees, coming off a double ruptured Achilles Tendon.? If I did not vary my training

There is an optional waist/hip belt available for GoRuck packs but they didn’t have the size I needed and so I started without it. I haven’t felt a need to buy one yet but there’s no doubt that

An alternative opinion: We own several weight vests, but not a "GoRuck" pack or plate carrier.? My wife would sometimes train with the weight vest instead of her trip pack.? She noted that the

I really enjoyed the Collegiate West alternative for the Colorado Trail, which is part of the Collegiate Loop. The trail is high, often above treeline, and within close proximity to many side trips.

This is an excelllent point. Its very good advice to start slowly and allow for recovery. Many people (myself included) experience overuse injuries on trail. Hiking is really the best training to

When I am in my backpack preparation mode and wear my pack on the local hike and bike trail, I use bags of rice to simulate my expected pack weight. In any case, I am no longer in the pack it all in

I totally agree on the value of rucking. I have a Wild Gym ruck and wear it every day while walking my dog 2 or 3 or 4 miles. I am a 68 year old female so I am in the "use it or lose it" stage of

Cycling is not walking. Specificity in training is the key to minimizing sport specific injuries. The little balance muscles get exercised on uneven trails. When small muscles tire out, joints ,

There’s nothing at all wrong with training using the same backpack used for backpacking under the load expected on typical trips, but it can be more convenient to use something like the Go Ruck

I've been carrying a 25 lb backpack up my local steepest trails for several years as my training for JMT, TMB, etc. [email protected]> wrote:

I cycle a lot - 100 - 150 miles a week - so the lower extremities are taken care of, but my issue - and caused an early bailout to Mammoth Lakes on a previous trip - is either sciatica or pinched

Highly recommended for upper body and core fitness. I rucked a 30 pound weighted vest prior to my 2024 PCT hike. I also trained by swimming. I had zero shoulder and low back pain as well as

Just curious: What's wrong with carrying a weighted backpack for training? It seems that doing so kills two birds with one stone (NOT THAT I GO AROUND KILLING BIRDS). Doesn't carrying the backpack one
