While you aren&#8217;t required to have any of these tools, they are recommended to make your training more effective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>GORUCK <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\">GR1<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\">Rucker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have one already, it should be high on your gear list. The fact of the matter is that these rucks are designed for the abuse that <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\">GORUCK events<\/a> are going to throw at them. Sure, you can use any ruck or backpack, but it helps to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\">GORUCK ruck<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\"><strong>Ruck Plate<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/rucking.com\">rucking<\/a>, you need to add weight to your ruck. You can add bricks, sand, frozen turkey, or whatever you want to meet your weight requirements. But, <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\">ruck plates<\/a> are really nice. They get you to your weight and take up minimal space. It took me a while to buy one. After buying it, I&#8217;ll never go back to anything else.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\"><strong>Sandbag<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They are awesome and you need one. We program sandbags in our training, so you&#8217;ll want to <a href=\"https:\/\/tracking.goruckaffiliates.com\/4B5GHXF\/R74QP\/?source_id=RT-Phoenix\">get one<\/a>. Or, at the very least, make one (google it).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2v3q4j1\"><strong>Jerry Can<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hate Jerry Cans. But, in a GORUCK event, you are almost guaranteed to have one or more to carry. So, this will help you get used to the awkwardness. Good news, Amazon\u00a0has one for only <strong>$15<\/strong>. Just <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2v3q4j1\">go buy it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Log<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Find a log.
