Rucking Roundup – May 3, 2021

Happy Monday, ruckers. Here’s some stuff we’ve seen floating around the rucking world the past couple weeks.

Gear News

• After releasing V1 and V2 of the “Weight Vest Killer,” GORUCK is releasing a Weight Vest. I’m not hating here, but I did get a little chuckle when I saw the announcement. For the record, I’m totally getting one. NOTE: at the time of posting, the page says “sold out” but in reality they haven’t released it yet.
• GORUCK finally got some USA made GR2 rucks in stock… and immediately sold out. Of note, the GR2 is now made with 500D Cordura and comes in a 26L version.
• Wire dopps are back in stock. Love the mini! (my review)

Latest Under The Log PODCAST Episodes

I haven’t been rolling these out as often as I’d like. I have about 3 more interviews recorded and just waiting to be edited and released. Just can’t find the time to do it.

• Ep. 08 – Grace Burns – 2021 GORUCK Star Course 12 Miler (Richmond) – This is my daughter. She’s the best.

Heard Through the Grapevine

• GORUCK Fitness Festival next year in JAX?
• GORUCK App “might” be going to beta… soon?

RuckWOD

• New month, new workout every day. If you’re looking for free ruck workouts, we’ve got those. Use them daily or cherry pick them for a special occasion.

May Rucing Challenges

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
