Rucking turns into a very good workout with decent weight and good pace. I normally use 25 kg on back so no need to travel wholle day outdoos. If you then walk with good pace you get a workout similar as running without the high impact. You cqn use clothes with weight so the weight distributes better without discomfort. Any weight is good with that method.
What a funny coincidence. I was just testing my pack load and decided to use a pair of plates like this but steel. The test went alright but one thing I did find is that it trapped the heat coming off my back so when I got up to pace after about 5 kilometers it was getting pretty toasty back there. Might have to have a rethink before friday. I found that on the AMP72 the intermediate compartment can fit 2 plates bottom to bottom pretty perfectly and got my weight right where I needed it so I'm still hoping to make it work.
Good point about the heat, I had not thought about that. But I can see it being an issue especially with steel plates. Will have to see how these things work this weekend.
I've done civilian 50km so far, but due to scheduling constraints I'm probably doing just ~30km this Friday evening. However, I'm planning on doing it in the military division, as this is the first time I have full BDU available.
Got it, sounds like a plan. I’d like to do the military division 25km but not sure if I can wear that in public as a non-Finnish civilian. Unfortunately the internet has left me without answer so it might be the civilian one for me.

I just saw the new Skyweight collection yesterday as well. The backpacks looked great, the chest bags however seemed a bit on the small side at least in pictures. When we get those in Finland I think I'll ask 5.11 if they'd be interested to give me some for review.
@@TaivalOutdoors Thank you, yes it seems smaller but probably more available (in the EU) than the HPG, the ventilation can be different also and it have larger front PALS section which is missing from the other popular one, the Helikon-Tex Numbat.
@@Kobalta That's right. However, I prefer to keep my stuff inside my kitbag and the external MOLLE/PALS isn't a requirement for me. HPG Recon Kit Bags have that feature as well.

That's absolutely true. That also carries over for general backpacking better.
Thanks for this, bro. I'll be doing the remote march this Friday as my first one. Hope I don't scare the neighbors too much!
Sounds good! What kind of distance where you planning?

I don't think so, this one's a few decades old.
