Ruck Trainer 2.0 is almost sold out! that was nearly 100 units in a couple hours, sign up for the email list for next drop!
Damn! Keeps going to my spam! Ima get one someday. Hopefully soon!
Sos
What brand?
I have to ask, as a former light infantry soldier what do you need a ruck trainer when you can simply carry a ruck? Having a artificial balanced load seems like it would be a detriment to rucking not a positive.
GIVE ME TEN THOUSAND FILIPINO I WILL CONQUER THE WHOLE WORLD - GEN. DOUGLAS MCARTHUR
My grandfather was a survivor of the death march, retired phillipine scout and retired police chief. Respect brother Its pretty gnarly.
thats amazing!
Scouts Out! RECON!
Have read a lot of Death March literature, and it all attests that the Phillipine Scouts were as good and tough as they came. Respects to your grandfather.
My grandfather was a survivor as well.
I was told that he was able to survive by trading his bowl of rice for crutches. Those who could not walk were executed. After he passed in 2018, I decided to visit the Bataan Memorial in the Philippines. There’a a huge cross that you can ride an elevator up to the top. From there you can see all the way across Manila Bay. There’s also a museum with information about the war in that region and the atrocities that the Japanese soldiers committed.
If any of you get a chance to go to the Philippines definitely go check it out. You get an idea of the conditions the soldiers had to endure for the 65 mile march.
Respecc. Much respecc from the Philippines. ✊
My uncle survived the Death March as a 17 year old soldier.The horrors of what he witnessed is something that he could never forget until he died aged 90.
No water . . .no food . . .no rest . . . If you stop you die . . . If you can no longer walk you die . . . You have no other choice but walk to survive . . . Big respect . . . 👍👍👍
If you rest,bayonet is waiting
don't forget the humidity, mosquitoes and extreme heatwaves in the Philippines all season round, all while starving.
Even u already deiad but Japanese still shoot u.
Can you add the heat here in the philippines 🤒 it must have been so exhausting 😥
7:52 Maybe that Ukrainian Stormtrooper might survive.
There is an old man who has always passed by our street since I was a child. Every day I waved to him as a sign of respect for him. At first, my friends and I waved when he passed. He was a relative of my grandmother. Then one day he stopped. Grandma fed him at home, I asked him where he went and why he was always walking every day, then he said that he was remembering his companions, he was one of those who fought against the Japanese and was included in the bataan death march.
You guys were there??? Oh man I wish I could have shaken your hands and taken a selfie. I was one of the guys who did it in period WW2 uniform. Appreciate you coming out for it.
nice! we saw you guys out there! huge props!
Respect!! Get some!!
You guys here in the Philippines? Wow 😊 btw, I'm from southern city in Philippines called Davao.
@@lumontad214 this march happened in New Mexico in the US. They commemorate this event every year. April 9 coming up. Remember Bataan.
@@pfcjev oh I see, it's nice to hear that you guys commemorate it in your own way. I thought only us in the Philippines remember that day in history. Thanks 👊👍
My grandfather was with the 31st US Infantry Regiment for 10 years and just came from a mission in Shanghai, China when WW2 broke out in 1941. He fouth in the hills of Bataan, was captured and survived the Bataan Death March but died in captivity after 3 months because of malaria in Capas, Tarlac. Rest in peace, lolo, (+) Sgt. Jose Atienza.
Salute to you guys!! I have done 102KM bataan death march on the the actual route in the Philippines a number of times. A tribute to my grandfather who fought as a guerrilla in the Philippines in WWII . I look forward to doing the US version in the future
Next time, try it after fighting in the jungle for 6 months, surviving on barely a meal a day of whatever food you can find in the jungle and sick of dysentery. With the threat of a sword thru your guts if you stop and with no food or water on the entire route. My uncle did.
@@geneanotado ???
@@geneanotado I can only Just imagine what they had to endure. Walking through muddy water and having to squeeze their socks to drink, all while knowing that stopping could mean a bayonet to the chest. Even as someone who has hump the boondocks during my time in uniform, I cannot fathom how they managed it. That is why I honor their sacrifice by at least remembering what they went through.
@@geneanotado when doing a tribute you don't need to do all of that
@@overbored617 yea im sure their grandfathers don't want them to suffer the same fate
My grandfather's younger brother was in the Army Air Corps at Bataan. His unit fought as a provisional infantry battalion during the battle. He survived the death march, but died in captivity in 1944.
This is goal vibes guys. One day I will do this for family reasons.
My great uncle Charles Fetterman survived the battle of Bataan in Jan. 1942 and was forced to march the 65 miles under pain of death. Watching his comrades either fall or be murdered by the Japanese occupiers during that jaunt.
He then spent the remainder of the war as a POW all over eventually ending up in Japan. He survived torture and starvation till the day he was liberated in mid 1945. He had to live on constant oxygen O2 for the rest of his days due to injuries sustained from torture.
He was a full out hero for his endurement and refusal to give up when it was so easy to just lay down and die.
When my step kid complains that I'm too hard on him, I have to remind him that he has no clue of what hard really is.
Proud of all you guys at FNG setting the freakin example 🤟🤙
Update: found his info on a POW list.
Fetterman, Charles M. Pvt
Serial #: 6913975
Destination: Eastern Japan
Boarded Hellship: 8/18/1943 Taga Maru
Phillipine Camp: Cabanatuan
Liberation: Returned to San Francisco on the USS Hugh Rodman September 1945
Im from Philippines and thank you remembering this event, honoring American and Filipino soldiers. Big RESPECT. Salute to you guys.
My Great Grandfather was a survivor of the Bataan Death March and carried his friend while doing it. He died the year I was born unfortunately. Really appreciate you doing this. Much love!
That’s an incredible legacy.
@Running Thor Thank you. The man according to the rest of my elders was made of iron. I think he had willpower in spades! His purple heart used to be on display in NM. I can't imagine what he went through to survive...
My great grandfather was in the death March. According to what my grandmother told me was he collapsed and was shot but survived. He was found and picked up by locals who nursed him until his death. A letter was sent to both the remaining army and government where they later identified him. After the war his mother (my great great grandmother) received money in reparations until her death at 103 years old. The money that she received put my grandmother in college and afforded her way to the US where she met my grandfather and the rest is history. She always made sure to donate on Veterans Day because she said without them and her father she wouldn’t have had the life she has now.
My grandfather served in the Philippine army as a sharpshooter and was captured and subjected to the march. He managed to escape and thats all I know… he passed away before I was old enough to care. He would tell me stories about hiding in trees and picking off Imperial soldiers and one of my greatest regrets is not paying attention to his tales as a kid.
Can't believe I missed ya'll. Glad you came. It used to be wonderful having a dozen survivors of the real Death March shaking your hand as you started.....
it was a pleasure to be there!
around 15 yrs ago our family went to Bataan Shrine where the start with Km1 marker was placed, knowing the distance to Capas Tarlac where it ends..... gave me chills, deep sadness and I was on the verge of tears..... Hopefully the whole world would learn from our history !
That stormtrooper is such a trooper. Wearing that gear and helmet in those conditions is crazy.
You should visit the Philippines and do the death march under the same tropical and humid conditions in the summer. It's a hard trail, especially near the mountain but it adds a completely different context to what the veterans went through.
Honoring the Veterans of the Bataan Death March!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Proud survivor here of Bataan Death March 102km Ultramarathon last 2018 having the actual historical route from Mariveles, Bataan to San Fernando, Pampanga. Salute to our brave heroes!
Good stuff. My great grandpa was a Bataan survivor, so it is great to see his, the other survivors and those that didn’t make its memories honored.
both my grandfathers walked the death march. only one was able to tell me about it. absolute respect for you to endure this.
This is awesome. My paternal grandfather fought against the Japanese in WWII alongside Americans. My maternal grandparents were both survivors of the Bataan Death March.
I've always felt a familial connection to the Army. That's why I joined, currently serving as an Airborne Infantryman and Jumpmaster with the 1-501st at JBER.
AATW, brothers, thanks for all you do 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you guys for keeping this atrocity alive. I lived in the P.I. from '67 to '70 till my pops retired (33 yrs) Air Force. We as a family travelled alot and one was to see in person Capas to Camp O'Donnell. it is important to remember and so much thanks to the Green Berets that freed our troops. ....P.s. This is my Desert, As an Army soldier and a Texan, I was stationed at McGegor '80'-'82 and participated in Star Reforger . Great Time .
Thank you for doing this tribute walk for our soldiers during the Bataan death march walk here in the Philippines. Mabuhay kayo! You guys rock!
This is the kind of content pretty much appreciated and respected.
I’m currently deployed to Kuwait and I have the ruck trainer 1.0. Just did a 15 1/2 mile ruck last week and had a lot of people asking about it. Great product!
This is so badass you guys! My great grandfather was part of the avengers of Bataan in ww2 in the army. Love what you do.
Production quality just keeps getting better, loved the high drone shots of the walk. Was pretty interesting learning about the history of this event.
100% True Story - when I was in my Master's of Social Work program at the University of Texas in Austin, I chose my block field placement to be at the Audie Murphy VA Hospital in San Antonio, in Adult Psychiatry. While I was there I had the chance to meet and try to help a WWII veteran, who survived the Bataan Death March. To say he suffered from PTSD would be an understatement. Because the Army and Department of Defense didn't understand that problem WBW, he then was put into the Korean War, and then after that, the Vietnam War!
Pleasure meeting you at the bar the night before. Appreciate you taking the time to chat and and snap a photo! I completed the full march in less than 8 hours, over an hour under my goal. Definitely planning on going back for more next year. Hopefully see you out there again. 🤙
Thanks for posting. My dad, SGM John Lally was a Death March Survivor.
You guys are the best! Great video, thank you.
Wow!
My respect and admiration to all these people making this epic journey possible!
So badass, y'all did it. I did the Bataan in 2019. I loved the challenge, the experience and embracing the suck. Hoping to go back next year.
I had a dream where green berets taught civilians to ruck , cqb and survival stuff for 300 bucks in a seminar 😂😂 then i woke up
You can learn all that and more, plus get paid! Just sign up! All jokes aside though if you want some good cqb tips check out Orion Training Group. The info they have out now is more than enough for you to become proficient in. Obviously that won’t make you good at cqb, but it’s a good start if you can’t afford the classes right now. Also check out their collaboration with garand thumb, they go over some good stuff in that video. For rucking, try going onto forums, ask, pick people’s ear. At the end of the day, learn the basics and put the reps in. Stay alert, stay aware, stay safe out there. Cheers!😎🍻☀️
I respect you for doing this...but why not march the real Bataan Death March in Luzon? Ive walked some of it in Bataan. Try it in 90 degrees and 100 pct humidity
Wow me and my NG unit were volunteering up there I wish I could’ve said hi thanks for everything you guys do help motivate me in the mornings.
YEAH FUCK YEAH from a former marine, a member of the nmarng and someone who's great uncle survived the bataan death march.. Thank you for doing it.
Your on-location vids are some of my favorites. Great video 👍🏼
My great uncle was a survivor. He served in the Philippine Scout.
Awesome to see you guys hiking in nature! Let me know if you come up to Washington, happy to refer you a ton of gorgeous trails and even show you some if I’m in town.
Good effort 🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful shots FNG
we love you guys thank you for honoring the brave that died during that march
I work at Holloman AFB, right past WSMR. I considered doing it this year, wish I had known yall were going. Good job!
Things that I remember of ruck marching in legland Fort Lewis is the pain in the shins when we were marching at a rapid pace. But the pain went away after a bit. I do remember the occasional breaks we get and I would feel cold after a little while when the sweat peeled off into the atmosphere and I was wanting to move again to keep warm and get the march overwith. I notice my uniform would be somewhat caked with salt from the sweat evaporation after some marches.
The death march is a bucket list thing for me! Great job boys! 🤘🏼🇺🇲
we'll try for the full next year
WSMR Cool Post with immense History. Trained up for this when I was stationed there back in 95. Good shit bro
I live near a small community Imperial, Nebraska pop1500. They used to put on the event Joggin for Frogmen. I would do the Go Ruck division. I carried a 35lbs mountain ruck at 60yrs old for a 5k. I didn't know the min for men to carry was 20lbs. That event ended with covid they haven't taken it up again. I've continued to do these events virtually! As a Recon Marine I was honored to support the Navy Seal Foundation!
im from bataan and thank you guys for comemorating and dedicating this kind of event to the Filipinos and Americans suffer on that time. Salute Guys❤️
Thank you for doing this. Greetings from the Philippines.
Bravo for entering the March!
Bought my ruck trainer as soon as it became available today 🤘🏼 thanks bros!
Sad we dont have that here in the Philippines. Would have been great if every man here gets to feel or experience hows it like walking the death march.
salute to you sir ! Sending love from bataan Philippines !
Fcking epic bro!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good work! 🤙
He guys I was really good friends with a man Named Fred Smith who actually survived the the Bataan Death March. He was one of the kindest guys that I have ever known.
Respect. Doing this march is one of my goals.
we'll shoot for the full next year... hopefully
Oh nice. I was stationed on Fort Bliss in 2012 and we did some FTXs out there. Very well done to the both of you for doing a march like this.
Yo. Much respecc from the PHILIPPINES. Thanks for remembering. We forgot to celebrate our heroes and it just wasn’t heavily embedded in our culture.
epic way to remember and honor our fallen heroes
Thank you for your service!
I can’t believe I missed such an event! It must have been emotionally appealing to understand what those in the Death March actually went through.
Good stuff guys
Thanks dude!
Big respect and a snappy salute 🇵🇭🇺🇲
Once a green beret always a green beret
Just purchased another Ruck Trainer! Can’t wait to get it…
nice dude!!!
Cheers from the Philippines.
That is incredible! But you should try doing it in Bataan Philippines during April 9 (Date of Bataan Death March) where humidity condition is at 88 to 90% and temp ranges from 25C low to 35C high. That is a real challenge
My rotc troupe in high school did 14 miles in honor of the bataan death march. It was a good day but I wasn’t in the best shape at the time and had a blister on my big toe the size of my big toe. Going about the rest of the day was annoying and I couldn’t begin to imagine what the soldiers forced to do that march were going through.
No bullshit. I seriously have a LOT of respect for Both of you. The way you approach life. The way you HELP people. The way you think. I have serious Respect for that.
I did a Norwegian foot March, and GAFPB when we were deployed. It sucked. walked out with both metals.
i lived in the Philippines for 3 years and i actually not far from Cabanatuan about a hours drive , I am Canadian but we all know about the Death March it was a terrible part of history , and to see you honor it this way is special god bless
my huge respect to all the people who joined this memorial event.
Hay my dad and I were there as well, super great experience!
Great video Buck 🤙🇺🇸
This motivates me to go the gym again.
Good job guys.
Just this month Im started with my ruck training....Combinated with others trainings. The beginings are hard. Nice video
Thank you for appreciating our country Philippines.
Welcome to New Mexico!
Thank you for doing this. My grandfather was in Bataan Death March and was imprisoned in Capas. I only found out last year, my mum told me. I think my grandad suffered feom PTSD but family dont know anything about it. My parents were both from Bataan and rhe older generation never talked about it to us grandchildren. I think their memories about it are horrific they dont to relive any of it.
just imagine youre in a fire fight for a month then when they captured you, your are going to march miles² away ,no water ,no food.
Props to the stormtrooper who also did the march. My grandpa never experienced the Bataan death march but he did serve in the Philippine army before the war, after the Philippines was captured the Japanese, their regiment was ordered to go up the mountains and do guerilla tactics instead. They disrupted Japanese supplies along Zamboanga del sur and assisted the Americans in capturing Zamboanga City.
Great video
My grandfather was a suvivor too in the deathmarch he was a colonel. he lived long!
White Sands Missile Range, man I miss home. My dad was lucky to get Fort Bliss as his 2nd duty station which is only 45 mins from my grandparents in Las Cruces.
That is one tough Stormtrooper
But don’t follow that guy in the port a potty, he missed
You are right showing up is the hardest part. How many times did we not accomplish something because we were to afraid not to show up
wow! salute and big respect to you guys! never knew there's this kind of event there not until i watched this! Thank you in partaking on this event to commemorate the Americans and Filipino patriotism during WWII 😁 nice one bros!
You came to El Paso at Fort Bliss. That is cool that is where I live right now.
man you gave ma some ideas here i want to try this too . My great grand father was a police officer during the japanese occupation. His wife and my grandma were forced to live in the forests to survive until the war ended. Great tribute to our heroes who were part of freeing the Philippines
F for respect! If you’re interested, there’s a yearly event called Bataan Death March marathon in Bataan, Ph
That uphill zigzag in loose sand after mile 8 is tough. It's right after when they said "we got open roads ahead of us"... nope.
i was cussing at that damn stretch of road the entire time
oh wow you guys do it in the cold. i wonder how the weather was like in bataan during the the actual march probably hot and muggy. you guys are beasts 😁😁
I hope that it will be done here in the Philippibes every year to commemorate the fallen heroes & those who survive the historical DEATH MARCH
salute to you guys
I worked in an assisted living in NORCAL and one of my residents said her husband was at that particular historic event , The Bataan death march. She said her husband survived it but when he came back he was like 95 pounds. Her husband is more that 6 foot.
I did the March back in 04. It was one of the most difficult and satisfying things I did in my 12 years
“You had two pair of gloves this whole time?” 😂
to experience the suffering of the past on the real bataan march is something to be admire and respect
