RUCKS & GEAR

Applying a med band to your own elbow or shoulder sucks to do one-handed without the end slipping - even for those of us who Embrace the Suck. So we solved that problem.

We sewed an Anchor Loop onto one end of our Med Bands so that:

(1) If you’re wrapping your own elbow or shoulder to compress it - it’s way easier to do one-handed

(2) You can use the same band to stretch with - attach the Anchor Loop to your badass rig or a tree and get to work.

WHY - I got really bad elbow tendinitis from doing MURPH’s 100 pull-ups a few years ago. I went in cold and gutted it out — but pain, that old friend, became the great teacher. I followed my buddy Dr. Kelly Starrett’s protocols on The Ready State (floss and stretch) and it helped a lot. But one-handed wraps on standard med bands kept making me feel really dumb so we added an Anchor Loop. I’m still really dumb but at least we solved this problem! If you’re doing MURPH this year with the rest of us, use this hard. — Jason

PS this one is long enough that if you want, you can cut it with your Hattori Hanzo sword and then you'll have two (one classic style med band to go with your Anchor Loop Med Band).

Easily secure your hydration bladder inside your rucksack. The double-gated design of the carabiner allows for quick attachment of a hydration bladder to the D-ring inside the Rucker or Bullet Ruck. Includes second carabiner because two is one, one is none.

Organize your electronics, use as a dopp kit, for camera gear, or with your rucksack for additional space and organization. The padding keeps contents inside protected and the additional 3 interior pockets keep you organized.

1000X tougher than a cheap ass coozie, Ballistic Beer Jackets also keep your beer colder longer, and feel like pure quality with every sip. Customize the experience with your favorite patch. Specially designed by our talented Scars team here at home – because we know how cold a beer should be.

Pro Tip: Always bring two. One for you, one for your buddy.

We are committed to doing things the right way, not the easy way. That’s why we design and build our fabrics from the ground up and customize the fits to match. The standard approach—the one nearly everyone takes—is to slap a logo on some off-the-shelf hat that already exists. The world’s landfills are full of hats that are made like this. We reject that outright. That’s not how you build gear that lasts.

We invest the time, effort, and energy to do it our way. We take pride in every stitch, we obsess over every detail, so that it meets our standards.

Two things make running in the Florida sunshine even better. A rucksack to increase our VO2 Max and a featherweight ToughMesh hat to keep our core temp down and the sun’s cancer rays off our skin. ToughMesh is our premium Italian fabric that weighs just barely more than nothing and dries lightning fast - even after you jump your sweat drenched body in the pool after a long, hard ruck run. We are meant to live life at the edges, the A/C life is not for us. Wear hard, use often.

Flat Laces
Ideal for athletic shoes, flat laces are built to fit our Low Top Ballistic Trainers and I/O Cross Trainers. They will stay very securely tied and helps spreads pressure more evenly across the top of the foot.

NOTE: Flat laces are not compatible with Mid Top Ballistic Trainers

We’re celebrating America’s 250th birthday the GORUCK way: with a heaping helping of Good Livin’!

Welcome to the Freedom Mile. Participants will choose a weight that challenges them (60, 80, or 100 lbs) and carry it for 1 mile as fast as they can in addition to their ruck. This can be scaled based on the participant’s age and physical ability.

Participants are encouraged to consume 4 x 12 oz. beers (or their choice of non-alcoholic beverages) during the event. Four laps, four beers, best time wins!

Sandbags (and rucksacks) come with patch friendly 2” x 3” VELCRO® sewn on to the front. When a Sandbag PT session calls for multiple weights, label your Sandbags with weight patches.

Back in the 80s, kids learned that “Knowing is half the battle.”

And you all know that consistency is key when it comes to weekly Ruck Club events. But sometimes we all get stuck in a rut, rucking the same routes over and over. That’s why we’re looking to expand your knowledge of the rucking options in your area by bringing you the Recon Ruck!

This concept is simple: do some reconnaissance and scout out a NEW location you haven’t rucked before, then bring your crew there for some miles and smiles. That’s it. Just change it up! It could be someplace in town like a park you’ve not visited before, or a route through a different neighborhood, or it could even be an off-road trail you’ve not rucked before as a club. Then enjoy the new sights and sounds with your team. As always, cap it off with beers (or the celebratory beverage of your choice) at ENDEX.

• Minimum distance is 4 miles
• 4 participants or more
• You decide how much weight you carry in your ruck

Since the weather is starting to warm up, we thought we’d bring back a good ol’ fashion Ranger Panties Ruck. So track down your RPs and get some sun on those thighs! Bonus points for rucking through busy public spaces and making sure everyone sees what you’re bringing to the table.

• 4 miles minimum
• Everyone must be wearing Ranger Panties/Silkies (bonus cool points for carrying Old Glory)
• No weight requirement; use your normal training weight
• You have to ruck with at least 4 other people. Minimum 5 people per group. Everyone must be in the group picture where we can see and count them in order to be eligible.
• Screencap of distance covered with some sort of date/time stamp

Preorder, ships mid March

"Give me liberty, or give me death!" is a famous quote from a speech by Patrick Henry, delivered on March 23, 1775 at the Second Virginia Convention, urging the state to raise a militia for the Revolutionary War against Britain. The speech argued that peaceful negotiation was futile and that the colonies must fight for their freedom. The line served as a rallying cry for America’s independence.

Welcome to the Liberty or Death Ruck. You and your team will complete a 5K distance (or more if your club has a bunch of hard chargers). Each time you complete a mile, you will give your participants a choice: LIBERTY OR DEATH:

LIBERTY = A patriotic activity

Examples:

• Sing a patriotic song (such as “Yankee Doodle,” “You're a Grand Old Flag,” “America the Beautiful,” or “My Country 'Tis of Thee”)
• Recite the preamble to the Constitution
• Recite a line from Patrick Henry
• Give participants 60 seconds to list the Bill of Rights

DEATH = Short, simple PT (1 set of 10 reps, hard chargers can do 3 sets of 10 reps)

Examples:

• 10 ruck burpees
• 10 ruck squats
• 10 ruck presses
• 10 ruck push-ups

• Ruck the route and complete a “Liberty or Death” challenge at each mile.
• Minimum distance: 3 miles
• Weight: rucker's choice, but go heavy on this one…liberty is worth the effort!
  • If you normally ruck 10# dry, level up to 20#
  • If you normally ruck 20# dry, level up to 30#
  • If you normally ruck 30# dry, level up to 45#

In the 1984 black comedy, Gremlins, a gadget salesman buys a special gift for his son at a store in Chinatown. The shopkeeper reluctantly sells him a cute but mysterious creature known as a “mogwai,” with a warning to never expose him to bright light, water, or to feed him after midnight. When his son fails to heed these rules, he accidentally unleashes a horde of malevolent creatures on a small town.

Welcome to the Gremlins Ruck! For this month’s Halloween-themed 80s callout, you and your team will similarly fail to heed the shopkeeper’s warnings, unleashing some mischievous Good Livin’ on your city. First of all, you’ll need to step off after midnight. Then, you’ll ruck to a body of water; it could be a creek, a fountain, a pond, or even a splash pad. What matters is that you all get completely immersed…or at least drenched from head to toe. (Bonus points if you all do hydro-burpees as a team!) Then head out to ruck 4 miles or more together.

If you want to add an extra challenge with some Gremlin-style shenanigans, include an after-midnight food challenge! Line up everyone for a rucks-on bear crawl race, set out a matching number of hot dogs (or a snack of your choice) at the turnaround point, then have everyone bear crawl 25 yards out, devour the food, and then quickly bear crawl back to the starting line!

• 4 participants or more

• Minimum distance is 4 miles

• Must begin AFTER midnight

• Must get completely soaked/immersed at the beginning of the ruck

• Bonus cool points for hydro-burpees as a team

• Food challenge (optional)

• 25 yard bear crawl race, wolf down a hot dog (or snack of your choice), bear crawl back

On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, severing the 13 American colonies from Great Britain. Drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, it outlined reasons for separation, provided a list of grievances, and established America’s foundational principles of natural rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

In honor of that watershed moment, we will ruck 17.76 miles. And we encourage you to wear red, white, and blue and carry Old Glory at the front of your formation!
