GORUCK Rucker 5.0: What 44 Pounds Actually Does to Your Hips and Shoulders

A few different miles and the load is getting real. In this video I break down what 44.5 pounds of loaded carry actually feels like from a chiropractic perspective, how the GORUCK Rucker 5.0 - 25L, distributes weight across the hips and shoulders and how I adjust it, today's ruck goal and training intent, and the some added gear setup including hip belt pouch, water bottle carrier, and total carry weight. I also cover why this pack is not a hunting pack and where that difference matters most under load.
