Just did a 5 miler/40# yesterday, one tip for civ or people rucking recreationally and not timed is to keep a hammock in your ruck it’s lightweight doesn’t take much room and quick setup. Let’s you get your feet up off the ground on a break or at your destination it’s peak relaxation 👌🏽

As an old knuckle dragging Jarhead, who is getting back into rucking after a 45 year hiatus, I enjoy your videos. Lots of good info to bring me back up to speed. Keep 'em comimg!

Just started rucking this week at 62 yo. Love the simplicity and the quality of the workout.

Gritty Soldier continues to be, dare I say, the best instructor on this platform I've found. His information is straight to the point and usable for everyone, regardless of occupation or stage in training. I've made so many adjustments to my own workouts thanks to your helping guidance. Thank you Gritty Soldier.

I agree! Badass!

Thoroughly appreciate your content! As a retired Soldier, I am sad to say no one ever took the time to mentor me like this. I am pleased you are providing this for the current and future generations.

Great info, I just recently started to incorporate rucking into my weekly PT schedule (haven’t done much outside of the required monthly BN hikes at my unit) so this was super helpful.

Thanks for all the tips and advice! All your videos are so motivating

Enjoyed the video. Always look forward to your content. Well done!

After seeing some of your videos i am exited to try rucking as a form of cardio! I love hiking so this might be a nice challenge.

I stumbled upon this channel while looking for a new ruck. I currently have my issued ruck and an old Alice pack. Solid information. I’m glad to find the channel.

Thanks for all the videos brother I've been putting all the advices on your videos and they help me out

Thanks for the video! Got advanced camp coming up and this video helped out tremendously.

I started, "trotting" the down hills and some of the up hills. Your rucking videos have motivated me to go further and faster. Getting better everyday. Thanks.

Im training to enlist back into the army at 35. Rucking has always been my favorite form of cardio, it’s morning Zen. Your videos are super motivating keep up the great content Sir!

Gritty Soldier, absolutely love the content you put out! Your time is valuable and for you to take that time to help other soldiers speaks volume! Keep up the great work.

Used the tips from your last ruck pack video to really help dial in the pace and form. Managed to get the shuffle down, and keep my feet and shins happy. Pushing for that 16 mile ruck soon.

I've been rucking in the Army for 15 years, and he is one of the best instructors I have ever seen.

Thank you for taking the time to make these instructional videos and your fitness videos. You have a great natural teaching style and excellent on-camera presence

Awesome that you are willing to help others succeed in goals

Watching your videos makes me realize there is so much I didn't even know I didn't know! Thank you! Your helping me meet my goals slowly but shurly!

I have been rucking about 6-8 miles every Saturday for the Bataan Death March. Your channel is very helpful. I am still looking for the perfect rucksack!

Gritty, thank you for all the great tip. As an old Marines that has not rucked much in the last 20 years. I found it every help full. I just started adding rucking into my workout in the last year and forgot what a butt kicker they can be. I stated teaching my 12yo son land nav last fall. I think we will add rucks to it this spring.

Great tips! There is a lot of good info here. And I am glad I found your channel!

I just wanted to thank you and all the others that serve, for your service!

Very cool. Longtime backpacker here. I typically ruck with my full kit as it's dialed in to around 38lb with 5 days food & water. Great tip on the towels. I keep a bandana in my pocket and Shemagh in the ruck as my towels.

I really appreciate this video. I recently started rucking again, and this video gives me an excellent baseline to re-pack the old ACU pattern ruck I have had since my army days. Excellent baseline for fitness and knowing your own capability and conditioning yourself to challenge and perseverance (looking at you, 12+ miles with ~80 lbs)

Has it also got that awful Digicam design?

Perfect info! I was actually looking for your older video on this to start training for a 12. Great timing Gritty!

Thanks for all the good knowledge man! Been able to get my ruck times down and longer distances thanks to your tips and tricks.

The timing of this video is really spot on. I was getting ready to go rucking since my day off is tomorrow. Plan was 35-40 lbs 12 miles. Love these tips you give on the videos, Sir. Looking forward to the next one for sure.

Thank you for putting out videos like this; they're incredibly helpful!!!

I bought one of those rucking plates, used it one. The problem is that you cannot allocate the weight to the top of the ruck. I still use it to exercise, but I think that using everyday gear to add weight is more helpful (and realistic). Especially when I go out in the winter when the temperature is below zero I fill my pack with gear that might be helpful in case the weather turns. Thank you for your video.

14 miles 💪! Just hit my first 5 mile ruck, thanks for the videos man your advice really helps!

Thank you again for all your videos they have really been a source of inspiration in terms of rucking and physical fitness.

Love your vids man. Keep ‘em coming.

This was great. I’ve been rucking for a little while now but this was still super helpful, I’ve been just shoving plates for a barbell into my bag and the weights never felt distributed right. Thanks for the vid, keep up the good work! Edit: I forgot to mention good luck doing the Bataan I did it last year for the first time (the virtual one on my own) and had never rucked before I only had like 20 pounds but I felt like death after haha

Yeah that's a big problem if the weight is not center shoulder blades area after a km gravity drags you down if you have a European style ruck I put a bucket In mine so when I placed the weight it sits higher, I also found that if I did not do this, a weight might sit properly at the start but after 5 miles it can sink, the lightest I do for rucking is 65 pounds and the heaviest I done is 110pounds, a goruck bag is designed to hold a plate

Hey Captain, Thank you very much for all the extremely useful tips and advices from you videos. I have been able to improve my rucking time exponentially! Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful!

The tips are again helping a lot, I just tested some of that, thank you a lot!

I love the effort and thoroughness of expressing the specific topics you cover in your videos! I'm going to start rucking again because it's warming up for me.

Thanks again for quality content sir, helps with refining TTPs

Thank you for your videos! You are helping this old man get back and feel good about himself!

I’ve definitely been stepping my game up since finding this channel. Thank you for the great videos and tips.

I love how u break the process down. I setup my army ruck just like u. It has helped me so much. Thank you sir

Really appreciate the content , have been using your tips and tricks to help with BWC Competitions all year

I love how you include every person, that's great!

The pack looks great, free shipping is something that I did not expect. Awesome!

Your rucking videos always motivate me to push myself! Thank you!

Let’s go. Kicking my training into next gear getting ready for my Recon course.

Great video! I like to see how other people are packing their rucks. I used to lay my boots flat in the ruck, but I'm going to try it your way now. Thanks!

Great information in this video, keep them coming! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos

Completed the Norwegian ruck march not too long ago and EVERYTHING taught here is so useful.

Rucking has now become a part of my training and I was able to see drastic improvements, thank you Sir!

Planning on doing a couple of long range hikes in the near future, great to get knowledge from someone who's been there and done it

Awesome video gritty soldier. All of your videos are so applicable!!

I love this simplicity, makes it very easy to understand everything

Could certainly take advantage of a new pack. Thx for the suggestions. Take care out there.

Been subbed for a minute and while I already have quite a bit of exercise knowledge I’ve enjoyed your info on military fitness. This one is solid because I need to start rucking so I’m ready for osut. Keep the videos pumping!

Thank you for your video! That is an awesome rucksack. You certainly are an inspiration to me! Keep those videos coming Sir!

Always putting out quality content. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Currently in training and videos like these help a ton

spot on timing, thank you for the free advice

Another great attention to detail ruck march video. Thank you!

Great video. I'm learning so much from your channel. Cheers for that 👍

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos Sir! I always learn something from your videos. I have a waterproof back I am going to put in mine and then start packing this way. I have always used weight plates but like your way better. It has been a while since I have rucked for any distance. I am going to start out this week again.

Thanks for the knowledge brother. Your help has given me the confidence to perform at a much higher level with rucking than I thought possible. 10:44 minute average on my last 8 miler and excited to improve more.

Your channel is one of the best out there, so much information and experience is rare nowadays.

Really good information on setting up really any ruck. I have been rucking for about a year now and your information has been super handy throughout that time. I have been running my issued USMC ruck as of late and am looking to get into alternates. Keep up the good information.

Pack adjustment is what I needed! Hope to test it out on the next ruck

Great knowledge. Even if you're experienced, it's always nice to refresh the basics again. Did the Bataan a few years ago and it was a great time with great people! Keep it up!

Its awesome to see great people doing good things and being positive. You and Nick Bare sparked my interest in runninf more. Now i wana try rucking.

Good job mate love your enthusiasm! Love to see you promoting a quality Aussie brand!

Definitely very helpful I really want to do more rucking. Haven’t done one since Basic but it also helps for backpacking which I really want to start doing more often.

Awesome video. Thanks for passing on the knowledge!

Thanks for the amazing video. I’ve got a nine mile ruck coming up this week and this video is a great help for the packing I need to do

Great video! I'm gonna be shipping out early May and I've been taking notes and studying a lot of different advice from others. Your videos are super informative and probably the easiest to watch and most in depth out of the others I've seen! Really helps visualize what I need to be doing. Can't wait to start rucking, I already got my boots and socks sorted out!

I’m prepping for a ride tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Super helpful didn’t know hardly anything about rucking before but this helped me learn a lot so if I do start doing this I’ll do it correctly.

Getting back into rucking, and these videos are very inspiring! Thanks.

The idea with the trash bag is great, I'm definitely doing that next time!

Having to rotate between your ruck videos and run videos getting ready for a run and gun. Always appreciate the content!

New to Rucking. This channel is a wealth of info. Absolutely love it.Takes the learning curve (and a ton of pain)out of learning the ins and outs of rucking.

KEEP CREATING CONTENT!! Been getting better all because of your knowledge god bless!

Very helpful! Been out of rucking for a couple months, so a great touchpoint.

Absolutely love these videos. Great channel

Man, this is so helpful. I am hiking the AT through the Smokies in a couple of weeks. Really good stuff in this.

Just discovered your channel not even a week ago, but am really loving the information that you put out. Thank you. Ruck on 🤘

Great video! Well, all your videos have been great so there’s that🤙🏾

Great video! Thank you for all your advice. I love to backpack up in the White Mountains were I live in the North East and have always prepped for my hikes by rucking with the pack I will carry, a few weeks ahead of time, I also walk for distance most every day. I am inspired to ruck with weight more regularly, throughout the year. Thanks again!

About to do a ruck for my Brigade NCOQ competition on Tuesday, was glad to see this.

A friend of mine just got into ruck marching, your videos help him out a lot!

Good tips man .I'm just getting into adding rucking to my workout after surgery last year.

Great video. Looking forward to trying your technique out.

Straight to the point, no ads, this is what KZread should be!
