Partisan Prepping 1 - Rucking

What is ruck marching?

• Walking under a load
• From Go Ruck 
• • RUCK•ING [VERB] // Walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack). It implies action, energy, and purpose. Rucking requires strength, endurance, and character — and builds it, too.
• Derives from the military where soldiers had to carry their own equipment going back to at least the Roman Legion. Modern militaries use it for conditioning and training
• It is simple, low cost, low impact, cardio training 

Why ruck march?

• For fun and fitness
• 200lb man example
• • Running at 8 km/h (7:27 pace) burns 755 calories
  • Walking (5.5km/h) 390 calories
  • Rucking 50% more calories. 50lb pack, 585 calories per hour
• Less (at least different) stress on joints
• • 12x weight with running
  • 3x weight with rucking/walking
• Build strength in your shoulders, back, and lower body
• It’s a good way to do cardio, low impact, still gets to target heart rate zone

How to select a rucksack

• Factors to consider
• • Cost
  • Size
  • pockets/pouches and organization
  • Expansion and integration in to your systems
  • Frame
  • • Internal
    • External
• Padded yoke/shoulder straps
• Waist belt
• Recommendations
• • Mystery Ranch
  • Eberlestock
  • Go Ruck (maybe)
  • Tactical 3 Day Assault packs
  • • 5.11, First Tactical, etc
  • Surplus
  • • US ALICE pack - 62L
    • US MOLLE pack - 65L
    • CF82 - 45L
    • USMC FILBE - 81L

How to pack your rucksack

• Heavy items in the middle close to the body (between the shoulder blades)
• Start light 10% of your body weight or less add a few lbs at a time until you reach 25%
• Any weight will work. Protip: start with 4l jugs of water
• • 1L of water = 1kg/2.2lbs
  • If you over packed dump the water on the ground, no one will be mad, and you don’t lose expensive weights
• Waterproof clothes (ziplock bags)
• Use compartments/pouches
• Put frequently used items at the top

How to ruck

• A dry foot is a happy foot
• • Good boots and (wool)socks
• Hydration before and during
• • Electrolytes 
• Food
• • Carbs, protein, fats
• It is vitally important to that your spine remains neutral
