Rucking with your pack

[mtnbound]

Are you guys carrying this extra weight with your normal pack gear for a hunt/outing?

I have a second frame setup for doing work in the gym like step-ups or treadmill work.

When I do an outside training I use my normal pack setup with my standard loadout plus whatever weight is needed to meet my goal.

I bought a couple different size bags of quikcrete, wrapped them in duct tape, and put that in a woven charcoal bag. Strap that to the load shelf. I think I have 60lb and 80lb.

If I want something lighter, I have a bag of pea gravel that's like 35-40lb.

Lighter than that, I'm just bringing a water bottle.

I usually just carry what I’m taking for the day. I carry enough weight for no reason in the military.

Anyone come up with a good way to use the meat shelf on your pack for rucking? I use a stone glacier. Just curious if you've come up with a way to secure it in place nice and tight. Thx Pete

good option is to get a cheap dry bag and fill with sand to needed weight. On mine i changed out two of the bag straps buckles to male and female so I could clip them together

Sewed up a pack for rucking. Books a 40lb sand bag. Super secure.

A 45 lb bag of Woodstove Pellets is money. Its softer than sand and seems to stay in place pretty well. Really easy to add a few things to your pack to get to 60-80 lbs.

Great idea. Probably a more realistic feel as well as opposed to the smaller footprint of the sandbag

Be careful with bags of concrete and carbon fiber frames or frames with right angle edges. They can wear down the carbon fiber and/or rub through the fabric. Happened on my K4.

In addition to the trash bag and duct tape, I know wrap mine in an old sweatshirt. I also don’t of my rucking these days with my KUIU Pro because the inside of the main bag has really good cinch straps and provides an extra layer of protection.
