Just a few pointers mate Waterproof hat Bivvi bag Spare footwear ( I even pack waterproof beach shoes for river crossings) there’s a few on edurance. Water filter ( steri tabs taste honking) Spare boot laces Red light ( depending on how tactical that company is) Spare map 1-25 ( gives you more details fence lines and walls ect are mapped) Hope this helps
Way too much weight, just did a 3 day hike on Appalachian Trail using a Bedroll (Ground Sheet + 2 layers Torso Sized Reflectix Ground Insulation + Down Top Quilt + SOL Escape Bivy + Inflatable pillow), Jacket/Gloves, Tarp for Rain Shelter, Poncho + Waterproof Wind Breaker, Food (1 pound Walnuts + Cereal/NIDO(Powdered Milk) for Breakfast + Peanut Butter/Tortillas for energy food), 1 Liter Water bottle + Sawyer Filter + Clorox, Hygiene + First Aid + Flashlight + Knife + Compass; all @ 14 pounds. Easier/faster to hike mountains with little weight.
You are absolutely right for a civilian thru-hike. However, military ruck marches are intended to simulate combat conditions. Ammo and batteries make for back breaking loads. If this was an Appalachian trail thru hike it would be best done with 20-25lbs max. This is simply a different problem set/ simulation.
@@tubefreakmuva I have 1 liter bottle then use my Sawyer Filter + Clorox to filter water & kill virus at springs streams or puddles, used 3 liters of water a day. Walnuts don't have salt, if I used salted nuts I need more water.
😁very true. I also took a pocketsize plasticfied mini map with the route marked which fits in legpocket and is what I actually navigate on 90% of the route but didn't want to show it on camera because I don't want to reveal the actual endurance route.
The music says,this is Sparta!
His voice,hey up lad!)
😂
To really recreate it you need to go on a heavy sesh, no sleep then do the LD then sort your feet, food and brews then run the Fan to unwind :-D

The event requires they carry a certain weight, there's no choice how much weight if you do "load bearing".

How much water did you carry for a 3 day hike?? Doesn't read like you carried much at all!?

@@miken7629 Yes a filter is the only way practically. Otherwise the load carriage of water is insane
Two head torches but only one set of map and compass? When you admit you've previously mislaid your map? Point of failure right there.
