Spending time off the grid this week. It’s a perfect opportunity to test some new training methods and utilize my mobile workout equipment.

This morning’s 2.5 mile route. We cut through the open field on the eastern portion of the route to save some time for someone who had to leave early. Next trip I am considering adding some or all of Thompson pond to the route. Today looks like a good one to be outside!

For those who would like to learn more about Rucking, this is the company I got my gear from. If you have any questions about what gear you might want, let me know and I can help you figure out what’s best for you.

Rucking is walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack). It implies action, energy, and purpose. Rucking requires strength, endurance, and character - and builds it, too.

Earlier this week I went Rucking, something I’ve done numerous times on my own to get used to carrying weight as an Outdoor Education Instructor and Firefighter. This time, I went with a few friends who tried it out for the first time. It’s a great way to get outside and do some cardio. I’m planning on doing another group ruck sometime next month. Let me know if you’re interested. (This is my GR1 with 30lb Ruck Plate and water carrier)
