35lbs ruck (175lbs male). 29.9 miles. 1950ft elevation. First it was knee caps, then it was blisters, shin pain followed the pain in the feet. Last 2 miles were unbearable with shoulder pain added when I took off the ruck in my driveway. 10/10 would recommend for a fun family activity
Thought about taking my 8 year old daughter on a full ruck. Lmao
Love the last line! 😂❤
12 hours, 58km
It was cool, after 30km it's mostly mental more than physical.
Get used to walking for 12 hours? Ever had season passes to Disney world? lmao
It is a flat ground in Disney World, you are mostly walking in-between rides or breaks.
People consume a bunch of low quality or junk food.
Most people are not carrying a 40-50 lbs. backpack with them when they go.
They mostly stand in the ridiculously long lines for mediocre entertainment.
Adults are often consuming alcohol so you can kiss the caloric deficit a big FAT goodbye.
Air conditioning, are you in the Air Force or something?
So your analogy might be a little off. (I get that you were making a joke, I just want people to get accurate assessment of the conditions.)
@@kendov288 Im sorry I make jokes where they arent needed
@@whiphid437Official Joking is fine, clearly many people understand that Disney world is summer camp compared to Ranger school.
its ok Stephen, i get it. not like Kendov over here.
LOL fr man...wth is up with this Kendov guy lol
52 km/32 miles
Body weight 73 kg/160 lbs
Rucksack weight 20 kg/45lbs
Gave this a preliminary try for 1/3 the time. 17.5 miles in 4:25 on gravel with OCPs. Weight 220 so ruck was 46 before water. Regretfully didn't pack food. 3 liters of water lasted but needed more. Garmont T8, great boot but distance trashed my feet. I hate to say my knees were locking up mile 16. I hit a wall at around 2800 calories burned about the same time. Might try again for farther, but this is a monster of a task.
19mi first attempt. #2 this weekend.
I'm a brasilian proletarian, had to walk 14+ km per day 5 times a week for almost a year to go to state institute of technology did in 2-3H, past 12PM too; then i find a stone weighting almost 30kg and added and by the end of it a i did in 1and30 H to make sure i can apply to the FFL if need, thx.
...and if your walking on a road used by cars walk AGAINST the traffic. That is, in America at least, the left side of the road. I drive a dump truck in suburban eastern Massachusetts towns. Small roads, limited sight distance, heavy contrast and deep shadows with the rising and setting sun and day after day I see people (very often the same people) walking/running with their backs to the oncoming traffic (me, the 80,000 pound ten wheel dump truck) with their earbuds on rendering them deaf to my approach. These are affluent areas/neighborhoods I drive through and it amazes me how stupid these PHD's and children of PHD's can be. Life really is a special operation in that your success or failure to accomplish the mission (your daily walk for example) is very much a function of your ability to be present, awake and aware. Do you really trust that complete stranger barreling down on you at 45 MPH, who you don't even know is there, with your life? ...now add a cell phone to the equation...
Damn 😐
I dont got 12 hours I got to clean the motorpool and pmcs stuff
I walk with a friend a few times a day sometimes just once we walk for hours just because we love it.
Can you do Special Operations Forces videos on the following five units?
-Regimental Reconnaissance Company
-Delta Force
-SEAL Team Six
-Force Reconnaissance
-Scout Snipers

@@leonardomartinez8553 What is six emojis supposed to mean?
Great info
Phenomenal approach to real life
Effective methodology
Outstanding motivation
I loved the safty tips.
And have the image of some thug getting taken out by a pink 5 pound yoga weight.
I live 26 miles away from my school and friends so I’m going to walk from my house to the city which requires me to walk along side the I-15 but because it’s a freeway I have to use Old Highway all the way down to town. And ima use my army backpack I got from MEPS too with all my school supplies in it (there’s at least 2 text books in there)
I’m going to die
Don't know if you did it yet but if you haven't, make sure you're hydrated. Hydration doesn't start when you feel thirsty, by then it's too late. Bring granola snacks, gum, and water too. The granola and water is meant to keep your body going. The gum is for taking your mind off of the ruck. If you don't have anything to distract you from the pain in your feet and shoulders, you have a much higher chance of failing. Good luck!
Are you alive?
@@gaythugsmatter7029 yea I ended up joining and got sent overseas immediately. One thing I frequently did was ruck marches, go figure
Safety is ALWAYS important.
Situational Awareness is ALWAYS important.
DO NOT wear headphones when working out.
Regardless of where or what you choose to do as exercise.
Somehow, I got to 45km
Great video they’re so helpful
Glad you liked the video.
12 hours at the gym here I come
No. You cannot go on a treadmill, it is too even and will not properly simulate the conditions you will find yourself in. If you've got no other option then go for it. If you can hike then you SHOULD hike.
I couldn't just ruck for 12hrs like that.... I would get bored to death along with the pain...If I'm suppose to go 12hrs like that I rather just sign up for a Goruck Tough challenge(12hrs) which would have me rucking up to 21miles.
Denzel Warren if you’re worried about getting bored consider driving to a really beautiful place you’ve always wanted to see and then do it there
What shoes did y’all use?
Flip flops
Aaam runners
Adidas terrex at3 and garmot nfs 8
Raw
Considering I know I can do 12 miles in under three hours, accounting for breaks to eat or refill on water, is 36 miles probably a good goal to start with?
I'm not expert but I'd say so. I'll give that a shot cause that's where I'm at right now too
Damn man you ain’t slow. Good luck if you haven’t done it yet and congrats if you have
how far do you have to ruck to pass the test?
12 miles in less than 3 hrs
Hi o
Should water and food be part of the 20% rucksack weight? Or is that extra?
I think it's supposed to be incloudet.
Thanks!
My WO says "water ain't weight".
RAMIREZ! do the ranger workout challenge 200 times!
That’s funny my last name is RAMIREZ
RAMIREZ WE NEED TO GET TO BURGER TOWN
@@matt7185 I was about to ask you if that was a Call of duty reference.
haha
Ramirez! Make me Breakfast!
A good approach to rests is to ruck 55 minutes and rest for 5 minutes (it's extra handy if you start your ruck march exactly on the hour, that way you'll always start your next segment on the hour--keeps it simple.) You should also plan a longer break of 20-30 minutes at the halfway point time-wise; that can be your lunch break. With just those little 5-minute breaks you'll be able to go and go; if you try to go non-stop, well, you'll need to call a cab....
Nice approach! Also, keep the ruck on in those 5-min short rests, because it takes more energy to put it down and then get it back on, just lean back and have some water.
I walked all the way to the kitchen, then the fridge, and back to bed
_RLTW!_
Did you carry 80 lbs of food back? No?! Then redo soldier! And bring me a coffee! 😂
Did this yesterday.. 44 pounds in my ruck and managed to march 33.4 miles 🤮🤮
I feel like I’m cheating only having to put 26 lbs in my ruck, but I’m only 130 lbs lol.
Bruh I'm literally in the same boat, but trust me stick to 26 I went up to 35 bc I thought 20 wasn't enough and ended up hurting my shoulders bad lol
I’d round up to nearest number. I can weigh 180 so it’d be 36 but I put a 40 pound eight
@@nickk7140 I've been doing it for ab a month now and I put a 50lb pack on even tho I'm 130. It's tough but I just wanna be prepared
@Kyiv I am?
There’s no way your skinny ass had 26lbs in a backpack pffft
I want to do this but I’m 16 so idk if my parents will let me go by myself
Same bro
I'm 14 💀💀
Me too but that’s what treadmills are for go to your local gym if you don’t own a treadmill but don’t just put it on one set incline use one of the workouts on it so that way it will simulate going up and down hills then in valleys :)) if you do it let me know what you got! I’m playing on doin it sometime this week or next week
@@fearxunix855 alright I'll give it a try
Lmao u kids needa drink some juice boxes instead of focusing on this😂go do your homework
26.2 miles with 25% weighted ruck in the first 7 hours w a buddy, newly branched infantry officer getting ready for bolc and ranger school, feet and shoulders are hardening for sure.
23.4 miles in 12 hours with 35 pound backpack with 4 of my friends and we attained allot of endurance ... Hope to make the rangers !
I know this is for a year ago, but I hope you’re still training! If you still can’t walk a 15 minute mile, I’d shoot for something of around that time. Seeing as you got to roughly 24 miles in 12 hours, walking double the speed will obviously greatly improve your mileage(to now 48 miles in 12 hours!)
30 minute miles?
@@fmpairsoft9039 I get around 20 minute walking miles going at a comfortable pace, today however I only did roughly 5 miles in two hours
Not a Ranger , but someone mentioned using a small shovel weighing about 7-8 pounds as the best thing to carry as it simulates the rifle better since you’re going to mostly carry with two hands .
Big blue rubber duckies are not available for civilians to buy, but demilitarized bolt actions and fully functional flintlocks are.
My uncle was an airborne ranger
So I saw this video about two months ago and just yesterday, I completed the challenge. In 12 hours, I went 50 miles flat. My pace was 13.38 per mile. Blisters were awful, but mentally I felt great. My goal is to become a green beret and in two weeks I leave for West Point for basic training.
Jhonas Stern 13:38?!?! Wow. I’m 6’1” and at nearly a jog I can’t get below 15:00. Any faster and I’d be running. Impressive!
Basic training is at West point??
Gonna go ahead and call bullshit on this one. Also, basic training at West Point? wtf
@@pballa1994 yeah, last I heard West Point was where you went for AIT.
Stop lying, you did a sub 14 min mile pace for 50 miles. And there is no basic training at West Point.
I did a 20 miler two weeks ago it was brutal around mile 16. But this video inspired me to try the challenge. Actually preparing to go to ranger school in October then SFAS sometime next year. I enjoy all your videos they are very helpful.
King Rolls awesome man! Make your own luck!
How was Ranger School? Did you get your ranger tab??
Did you end up getting in bro? Been a year haha
@@agm2841 I unfortunately got hurt at ranger school. However, I’m going to SFAS in October 2021. Wish me luck.
@@uihorus4972 i have a buddy going to sfas this upcoming may. That shit aint no joke bro, i wish you luck brother 💪💯
12hours 42km
T h a n k y o u
I have the river bed near my house, goes for 30 miles wonder if I could make it the entire way.
Won’t know unless you try :)
DO IT MAB
@@doc.l Wise words, thanks
100% you can
Not illegal to walk around with a rifle. Not smart ....but if you get arrested you have a nice lawsuit on your hands.
unless you are allowed to open carry in your state
@@djmythc113 that's what I said...
I would say try to build up the 5 pounds to 10 or 15
Can we have a certificate after completing the challenge 🤣
Bragging rights?!?! Lol
There are some veterans associations that offer the challenge and they give you a medallion for completing it. Or do a virtual challenge like on The Conqueror. They track your movements with fitness apps on your phone or Bluetooth connected equipment. You get a medal when you finish the challenge.
Wouldnt a rifle sling hold some the rifle weight?
I failed but I’m gonna keep doing it till I don’t
Did you get it now.
And how did it go?
That’s the spirit.
did u get it?
Trying this out tonight. Wish me luck!
HeresMikey! How did it go?
Viktor he may have died
Now I have weekend plans
How often would it be reasonable to do longer and more intense rucks? I ruck every day but keep it pretty mellow, 4-6 miles with 15-30lbs. Trying to work out how often to throw in full on high intensity ass beating level days
That really depends on how many months or years you've already committed to normal rucks... My answer is the same to everyone though: as often as you can without injury
In Arizona we have constitutional carry, so anywhere besides schools , jails, n sum bars, and a cpl other places you can walk around with a rifle and a knife etc
@Mr. House I understand and I wouldn't, I'm just making the point that we can
Shouldn't it be 10lbs? A 5lb dumbbell seems rather light as far as rifles go. My bolt-action is a little over 7 and it barely has anything on it.
Eric Kolb it’s because it’s in one hand at a time and you will carry your rifle with both hands on the ruck. (Just me thinking that might be why).
12 hours is a full day of working iron. Idk about the back pack but my tools made my legs strong
jon morey iron work baby!
I did an abbreviated form of this at a 10 min mile pace for about 2.5 miles. Not even close to the toll that the full challenge would have taken but still a great workout.
Man I got pumped up! I'm doing this tomorrow!
I ruck all the time, not as long as I used to (I'm 61 years old) but I'll still get in a good amount of time and distance in and the younger guys who've never worn a military uniform can't even keep in step with me that I try to help them with endurance tips and no Rucksack at all, but I do understand that the guys today weren't pushed even in school towards being physically fit and I had a foundation for that from very early. That's why I invite friends and co-workers to just come along and enjoy the "walk" but I almost have to come back to get in the effort I need to keep in step with the timeframe I set for myself to finish. Thanks, I will let my friends see this video to let them know that I'm not crazy and it is something that other people do.
Good way to lose a lot of weight, better than running.
Exactly, and is far easier on your bones and knees, especially if you are overweight or obese. You are going to burn a lot of calories just by walking and caloric deficit-ing yourself. Ideally you would walk in your aerobic zone for heart rate, I've trained some morbidly obese people who cannot. When you are in a good weight range I would recommend jogging. Then you move on to running.
I definitely have lots of respect for the Rangers, I’ve got some in my family. On top of that, I’ve done what they’ve done and I gotta do it again because of some anomalies and serious fuck ups along the way, but 10/10 would do it again.
Your channel is awesome!!!
In fact the best channel for self improvement!!!
I will be regularly following your work!!!
Kudos to you !!!
Keep up your work!!!
My grandfather was a ranger.

Man, I'm turning 30 soon. Part of me wants to join still.
Same here I'll be 30 soon to as well brotha
I’m 30 and I just joined. I’m getting after it. So can you brother. Just never quit and put out max effort.
Do it
Do it pussy, i joined at 31 for Pararescue. Didnt make it but still haha neither does most kids. Get in shape and do wtf you want the military needs dudes with their heads on straight.
i went to basic with a 4'11 scrawny 38 year old women and we all graduated, its never too late. i believe you can get a waiver for age if you pass a physical demands test
158 pound male, ~35 pound pack + 8 pound dumbbell. 27 miles
My dumbass put 32 pounds in bag expecting it to be 32, it was 46.6
@@allzpark oof 😂
I pass the physical requirements for the Rangers but I am striving to get PAST the recommended.
I can't ruck for 12 hours because I'm 15 but I have always brought myself to keep going.
Instead I walk with long strides in an effective, fast, surprisingly comfortable and natural way with my backpack that weighs 20 pounds + my bag of workout clothes or sometimes my big metal water bottle I bring to and from school(I weight 130, I also walk)
Would this suite me for now (finished the track season and PT is not on a regular basis in my NJROTC because the school year is almost out. I also do a lot of other running in our athletic team.)
Is there anything you would recommend for me? (live in apartments in a suburban community)
So how's your Raider team doin? Just curious im trying to compare.
Johnathan Rusho We have something called the Mud Run. (Ends up having the same stuff through some research) We are pretty solid. But our most athletic team aren't participating this time. We could of gotten first last time (didn't participate) but a very good friend (best friend) panicked and they had to go back for him getting 3rd. We should get first this time.
Squats w/wieghted ruck and sandbag and lunges

Good luck man
How'd it go?
How did it go?
Rucking , quick marching is worse than running at first, your legs will be on fire after a mile or so. I got shin splints my first time out.. kept it to myself because i didnt wanna get recycled.. man it got bad. But eventually i healed up and yakkety yakkety bla bla
That happened due to not getting yourself prepared for the long distance ruck march.
When I first got to my unit I ended up getting shin splints. Had them for what felt like my first year. Always hurt, shins got tight and it hurt to point my toes up after any movement or run with weight. Eventually they numb out and during the movement or run. I would always just push myself till they numbed out then I was good.
I Rucked 7 Miles for 7 Hrs with 60 pounds in it! I want 2 become a ranger!!!
I've done 2 12mile rucks with 50-55 lbs rucksack. Goal is to go SF
If your goal is SF or Ranger you want to do 12 miles in 3 hrs with. 45lb pack dry at least. To be competitive with how tired you will be I'd recommend hitting 12 miles in 2 hr 30 mins with at least a 60 lb pack
LORD Smok3y I was in the Grunts in the Corps. If anyone rucked slower than 3 miles and hour you were considered below average. I’d assume the rangers are a little more strict than we were. Keep at it man and pump those miles up. 12 miles around 3 hours (could be a little more) is a good pace.
You'll need to step it up a bit more, my guy. At Battalion, there were times when we did 20 milers for multiple days. When rucking, you have to train not only for terrain & distance but you also have to train for how sadistic the cadre will be that trains you. To put that into perspective, I had an ol' Sgt Major that would do 12 mile rucks BAREFOOT, easily. Think about that for a minute. The bar will be raised once you get to Battalion.
It's not only a physical game but just as much mental. For example, if going through SF selection, you might do a 15 miler at night, then they'll load you up in a duce and a 1/2 and you'll think that you're done and you take a breather. Once the truck stops and everyone dismounts, you'll find that you're right back to where you started the first 15 miler. Now, you'll have to do it all over again, possibly with more weight added... Mentally screwing with you to see if you'll break.
Again, you have to be prepared (mentally & physically) for how sadistic the training cadre will be. When rucking, the trick is to put your mind in a place your body can't touch it. Don't just train for time or distance - both of which will be SMASHED, once you get to Battalion or you go for selection later on in your Spec ops careers. Lastly, PROTECT your feet. If your feet are f*cked, every mile will feel like 5. Good luck to all trying out to be “Bat Boys” or selection. RLTW.
Only one important question to everyone. What footwear to use?
Xeno Smoke combat boots for ankle stability, if you’re not used to boots then hiking shoes
Type of socks > type of boot
I recommend combat boots. I stepped on a random chunk of concrete and almost tore my ankle off. I regret not having the ankle support but luckily nothing was serious hurt only got a hyperextended muscle for a few week. I bitch to walk but it’s better than the other alternatives
Darn Tough socks (perhaps the most important is the sock some would argue) I use garmonts but Ive also heard the nike SFBs are great and light
Combat boots
12 HOURS ??!! WHO F*CK HAS THAT TIME TO RUCK FOR 12 HOURS ? I'm in the Army Reserves and not active duty yet, but even in active duty, who is going to have time ruck for 12 ?? I can understand the training for norweigan ruck march but 12 hours for as far as you can
One day, on a whim, I walked 40 miles in 13hrs; - with 2hrs sleep, 2l water and one banana {I was untrained}. I repeated it and managed to do 10hrs. this is what happens when your bored at university and wanna go home; haha people call me crazy, I just like to see the limit. FYI TAKE MO WATER.
We used to say "if you are going to be dumb, you better be tough." I am impressed. Well done. President T. Roosevelt was rumored to be able to hike 50 miles in a single day. So you are in good company.
Thanks Sir, Appreciate that comment! I will keep working to improve everyday.
Thank you very much for these videos. I have learned so much from them. Also im willing to take on the challenge.
I am working my way up to this challenge. I am 63, not fit (at least I wasn't 4 months ago), but I am working on it. Great respect for the tab; I've got a good friend who is a ranger and was in the sand box.
Good shit bro ! Kee going !
What’s with the stupid mask?
Thanks for your Videos, they are very helpful! It would be really nice if you could publish a special video about taking care of joints and back while carrying heavy weights. Keep up the good work!
Greetings from Germany :D

got 32 miles
This is very important. I am Revitalizing our history of the Medjay of Egypt. Thank you!
@Life is a Special Operation. Would you recommend rucking in Combat boots from Basic Training? are rucking in aftermarket boots. The ones from basic are so heavy hard, but damn are they durable. Maybe you could tell us if Rangers are forced to wear the CIF issued combat boots are can they wear their own aftermarket boots.
I would check out the Ranger Training Brigade web site. I simply don't know the rule for the newer generation of boots.
Garments are the way to go my friend
There lighter more durable and support your ankles and lock your heel into place which will prevent blisters
I followed this workout today. I appreciate the challenge. I will be doing this workout everyday for a week. I’m commenting to hold myself accountable and this great channel. I will follow up in a week
SITREP 1&2: Monday (4.4 Miles) with a 15.4lbs backpack. Tuesday (3.3 Miles) also with a 15.4lbs backpack.
SITREP 3: Wednesday (5.3 Miles) with backpack (18.4 lbs)
SITREP 4: Thursday (5.6 Miles) with backpack (18.4 lbs)
SITREP 5: Rest day (Friday)
SITREP 6: Rest day (Sat)
What do i wear? regular shoes, hiking shoes, military boots?
Louis Ancheta boots
Boots don’t wear running shoes cause they do not give you the support you need for your ankles
2$ Wal-Mart flip flops should suffice.
I am gym rat but i start hiking because of covid 2-3 hikes a week from 6 to 12 hours depending when i plan to go. For me hiking with out weight is not big deal i can like that for the whole day i am not even sore the next time joints take a lot of beating especially when you go downhills and i dont good cardiovascular endurance not lungs but rucking is a whole different story try it sometimes but my backpack is not for this seems you need a specific backpack for rucking it really hurt my front shoulders seems the area that touches your skin needs to be soft and have sponges with winter clothes is fine but with just a t-shirt oh boy it hurts. Also its breaks you from your back is forwards and puts pressure to other parts of you body basically breaks and changes your body mechanics on how you used to walk. You need to to have strength and endurance inyour abs and spinal erecturs. Rucking is tought but i dont know if its health.
Rucking is not really healthy if you do often but people around the world do carry heavy loads just cuz that's their lifes. Look up sherpas. Military workouts are just 100% work no fancy air conditioning gym
Growing up hunting, rucking 12hrs was a normal thing. Especially when the game is few and far between. You might spot them a few miles away. Walk over there, now they are a few more miles away lol. Then when you down it, now you have miles and miles to drag it out. Or put a quarter on you back if you have enough people. Now days im into rockhounding, I pretty much do it the same way. But now I have a backpack and a 5gal bucket full of rocks to hump around. Still probably doesn't compare to Ranger shtuff tho. SpecOps are like super heroes to me.
Back in the day we had what was called weapons platoons, not only did you have your 80-90 lb. ruck we humped a 90 mm record less rifle. Look it up pups..
4-77
Record less?
Do you mean,
Recoilless rifle?
Dude I gotta try this as soon as possible. I would go right now but unfortunately it's noon and I'd finish at midnight. I mean I'm not scared tbh but shiddd idk man lol in philly? Not the smartest idea 😅😂
Music used?
70 miles, ran I bit
WHATTTT crazy fucking good work man. that’s awesome!
Is an FLC necessary?
why wouldn't you want one? You need something to carry your water in, unless you are going to be taking a lot of breaks and taking things out of your ruck
Got your book
Thanks for putting this together.
You're Welcome
I guess I did this when I was doing my Pilgrimage in Spain, when we walked 41 km in one damn day with me having a rucksack of 17kg (I weigh 73kg) , but damn my feet were more blisters than feet at the end hahah.
Going to join the Bundeswehr (German army) very soon as mechanize Infantry very soon. Thank you very much for your awesome and motivational videos, as well as the insight you give along the way!
Try to wear 2 socks. One normal between your foot and your hiking sock. It will help. Alot.

What makes this a “Ranger Workout Challenge”? Are you going to ruck a lot at Ranger School, RASP, or Batt? Of course, but you ruck just as much at SFAS, Q course, BUDS, and any other Spec Ops group. I figured these challenges would be tailored to the course or group that you put in the title.
Hybrid Cobra, Basically, the idea is to make a unique workout and then name it after a Spec Ops unit. The PJ workout is on the track....when I was at SCUBA school every single PJ was faster than me. So out of respect, I named the track workout after them. The SEAL workout is my favorite pool workout. And yes, Rangers do walk a lot. I think my rucks were heavier and longer in the Q course but my ruck felt heavier and I certainly was more miserable in Ranger school.
Life is a Special Operation thanks for the response. I wasn’t trying to knock the video, just couldn’t figure out how you were naming them. Now I understand.
What? No coupons? :-) Seriously though, great challenge.
Can I ruck with a regular backpack or do I need those military packs?
*Only* packs with a waist strap!
@life is a special operation. A lot are calling you a fake and saying your videos are just you talking open source info. Your response?
Can you substitute the rucksack for a adjustable weighted vest or will it make a difference in how you workout?
Mario Arreola it makes a difference. Walking around with your plates carriers on, even if it adds up to the weight of the ruck, it's easy as hell to do. The weight is all centralized directly over your hips and distributed evenly between the front and the back. It's balanced. The ruck is unbalanced. If you're not careful, you easily fall after trying to get up from a short halt with the ruck because of the imbalance. So it makes a big difference
Brennan Latham ok thanks man, also I have a follow up question. When going rucking do you do it in generally level ground or in mountainous terrain or a mix of both?
Mario Arreola both. not all patrols are the same, mix it up
Looks like something for ordinary troops. 12 hrs is roughly the same time for an orientation marsh but with minimum gear here and worth 65 miles. Doesn't come close to the real thing.
Sara Man during hell well rangers do a 15 mile forced March in the span of 12hrs. He's only trying to simulate what they do. So no it's not for troops such as supply and logistics, it's for Rangers.
I know that's why I mentioned march. As with any kind of sports there's not much difference between training and actual (qualification) performance. Training to pass is the point after all. However, this is truely ordinary level according to Nato regulations. Going in full gear (3x above) 5+ miles out; build a camp (or even a trench); doing combat exercises; and coming back for dinner was ordinary (supply runs are costly). The romans for example did the same in full gear (45-54 kg=120 lbs) but for 32 miles a day.
Are you or have you been in Ranger Batt?
No just your ordinary on-call to be send anywhere in the world within hours unit.
Oookie dokie. Well this is t Rome 1st off second this is just an into (gnna leave it at tht)
This is interesting and all, but tbh Marines are the more elite branch. My dad was a Marine gront and he used to tell me about his “crucible” where the drill instructors basically destroy the candidates with physical training. Rangers might be good at walking, but I believe Marines are the more elite branch👌🏾
Ranger school is a whole different ball game. Granted the crucible is a hellish 54 hours it is nothing compared to 61 days of ranger school.
Cekidor R idk man, all I’m going off is the stats, almost 80% of Delta is comprised of devil dogs, ranger school might be longer, but I still think the crucible is harder. Plus marines do more hand to hand combat I’m pretty sure.
@@khrizkyle4707 I think you just hold a bias against the Army. From a person who has family in all branches they all agreed that they couldn't had made it into RASP or Ranger School. Also Delta is mainly Army now since the USMC have opened more SF type units within the branch. Btw it's extremely civilian of you to compare a Bootcamp to a Special Operations school with you being to neither. Also this is a prep workout and not the school, so I would go watch the actual RASP videos and Ranger School before comparing it to a bootcamp.
Camron Nash I mean it might have been a “very civilian comment”, but you’re also a civilian, right? So thank you for that, civilian. I guess I’m just airing my opinion after aggregating a lot of data about the Spec Ops community. And just based on the numbers of deployments, mission sets, and funding, it seems Marines are the clear winner as the paragon spec ops branch. Also, some of the guys on my Milsim team second that opinion and I’m pretty sure they were some ex pipe hitters in the Army’s 3rd ID deployed to South Korea
Khriz Kyle 1.)delta force is mainly comprised of rangers 2.)look at drop out rates for both selections 3.)look at mission sets and how often they deploy to combat zones
Screw that - who sales a 5 lb tactical dumbbell sling? I'm not carrying it in my hand 😂
Get some paracord or an old backpack (for the straps) and make your own sling. Pretty simple sewing, just make sure the thread is high-quality.
The point is to carry it as if you didn't have a sling. That's part of the challenge, guys.
Honestly not bad to cary
Is rucking used as a way to infiltrate? I've heard of sf being dropped a few km from the target so the sound of the helicopter wouldn't ruin the surprise effect.
But a full day as well?
Just to subscribe,
To answer your questions, sometimes SOF infil via rucking. It depends on where you are and what you are doing. SF teams are sometimes designated as SCUBA, HALO, or Ruck teams. Rucking is still a part of our doctrine.
Humped over terrain for 36 hours to set up an ambush...
Situation and terrain dictates. Ijs...
