My Alice pack is the 30 lb variety without plates and it is close to the max I can carry ( being 70 yrs old ) . It is the same contents as you showed except for the rags. I carry a tomahawk instead of hatchet. I did a 5k in less than an hour so I am pretty happy. Great idea for getting in shape again.

Nice Dave. One piece of fitness gear I've always carried (be it camping,etc) is a cheap pair of gymnastic rings. You can use the strap or do what I did which is braid 3 pieces of paracord into one long cord for each ring so I have some emergency cordage if I need it and I just put a cheap carabiner on the end. Gymnastic rings are great, they're relatively cheap, darn near indestructible, light weight, and very versatile. They challenge your body in a multitude of ways and can be set up to do dozens of exercises ( push ups, chest flys, chest dips, pull ups, chin ups , pistol squats, leg raises) simply by adjusting the length of each ring.

I gave this a try the day after you released your first video. I just put a 40lb bag of wood pellets into a Molle 2 ruck and got it to 53lbs. I completed my first hike in 49 minutes. I'm a runner and 5k is a regular distance for me but this definitely made for some sore muscles! I'll do it again tomorrow morning and try to refit a pack with some actual gear instead of just weight.

I train for what I call 'functional strength.' I'm an AKA, so most of my routine is walking with a pack or a flak jacket. My goal when training functional strength is to be able to pick up a refrigerator. I haven't reached the goal yet but I keep trying. The stronger and more flexible you are the more you can resist injury in the first place. I play games with myself such as 'paying' for activities. I force myself to do a 50 set of pushups before each meal, snack or other activity to pay for that activity. Over the course of the day I may do 8-10 sets paying for things during the day and it really adds up. Abs are a pain and not really sexy to train so I train them first before any other activity in the morning to 'pay' for the day. They get done and that's that. Dave has great advice with his 5k pack walks. If you don't practice you will 'pay' for your learning the hard way, whereas if you practice with a pack you'll at least be comfortable humping it when you have to. It'll suck to break in like that during an emergency event.

Very helpful. I am kind of new to this type of stuff even though I grew up a farm boy in southwest Wisconsin. I am proficient at hunting and fishing and did some overnight stuff as a kid but was never more than one mile from a home. Now that I want to get into this stuff your advice is great. My wife thinks that I am crazy and says I am having a mid life crisis. I hope this is mid life since I will be 51 next week. My pack is similar but now want to make some changes after this video. I will also add a first aid kit and may carry an ax instead of hatchet. After seeing your video of that big knife versus a hatchet, I decided the knife was a safer way to go. I am also finding a way to pack a takedown bow and also a small takedown rod and small reel. I figure it will bring my normal pack to just about 42 lbs. I may also get a pack for my dog . He is a 44 pound Brittany and a good bird dog. According to experts I should be able to load him down with up to 8-1/2 lbs. Couple pints of water and food and some other odds and ends for him.

Dave,Look at the benefits of Tabata/Interval training while rucking the 5k. The research available reflects vastly increased VO2 max. And endurance capabilities gained, along with several other health benefits, from something as simple as fluctuating your pace while rucking. Trust me, It is worth the research and knowledge gained. Keep on Get'in after it Brother! Way to represent 1963!

Might be a good thought to put those rusty plates inside ziplock bags, Keeps the rust off your gear, gives you an extra waterproof bag. Speaking of which. Why not strap a couple extra jugs of water to your sack/ belt instead of the weights? Gives you drinking water if needed. Can be ditched with little remorse. (aside from environmental issues) Gives extra containers.

Start by simply walking. Try to work your way up to the 5K distance. Once you can walk it in time, put a pack on with a little weight, say 15 to 20 lbs, then walk the 5k. Do it in steps, until you can make the whole thing. The extra pounds that some of us have should start dropping of as well. Hang in there. You can make it happen.
