Rucking Roundup - January 29, 2021

Haven’t done a roundup post is quite a while. Gonna try and get back to posting them every week or two. That said, here’s some stuff you may be interested in.

February Challenges

The February Rucking Challenge is gonna be fun. Grab your ruck, give it a hug, get to walking. Check out the Hug-a-Ruck challenge.

You may have seen that we launched a new challenge, Train2Endure.com. The February Challenge is Running a mile every day. Of course, you can sign up for the January Push-up challenge and do that in February if you want.

Launching RuckWOD

The Rucking Collective launched a new site, RuckWOD.com, this week. This free site posts a new ruck workout every day. Follow it daily, cherry pick a WOD to do with your ruck club, or just check it out for ideas to make your own workouts. Hope y’all like it.

Gear News

The Rucker 3.0 is the talk of the town (our review). Finally released is the 25L version. The only complaints I’ve heard stem from the plate pockets not fitting a 30# plate perfectly. It should be noted that Jason hinted that there may not be an inventory refresh very soon. If you want it. Grab it now.
A limited run Claymore Sling was released. Word on the street is this won’t be made again. Only coyote version has inventory left. Grab it before it is gone.
Not that GORUCK allows you to keep any of your money. But, if you did happen to have some money, you can keep it in this GORUCK slim wallet.
American Training Sweatpants are back in stock. I didn’t grab them the first time, but people have raved about them… so I grabbed some just now.
Women’s leggings WITH POCKETS are finally here.

Tribe

Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard about GORUCK Tribe. Part monthly challenge, part book club, part community building, GORUCK Tribe is a monthly subscription on a mission. GORUCK is clearly all-in on Tribe and people love it. Check it out.

Heard Through the Grapevine

The good folks that produced the GORUCK Selection documentary are having a give-away on IG. Everyone who enters gets FIVE FREE GORUCK EVENTS. According to the post, you read that right. UPDATE: It appears that the offer may be changing. The post has been updated to say there was a miscommunication and they’ll be reposting soon.
Jason teased a new colorway for the Ballistic Trainers.

Seems like there may be some collaboration coming up with GORUCK and Carryology, the quite popular EDC website.

I’m sure I missed some stuff. Anything else out there I missed in the last month? If so, sound off in the comments.

Cheers,
Ryan

What is the best way to carry a loose duffle bag containing 4 60lbs tightly packed sand bags with either 2 or four round sticks about 4 feet in length. I would be up for doing a zoom recording to talk about it more.
