      I was a little surprised they're shipping from Washington myself. I guess I'll have to wait it out and plan an outing to test the new goods. I know I'll be impressed with its quality….  I'm just frustrated with the length of time it will take to get to my doorstep

        product is outstanding i have a GR1 & GR2 and both are the best bags I own. I have owned some top notch bags Arc'Teryx, Gregory, Osprey etc… And unless I'm thru hiking a goruck is coming with me.

          Yeah your review on your gr1 helped me pull the trigger on my gr2. It's going to be my carry-on bag, hiking,  and work bag. Depending on the location of the event, I hope to be joining your boys in one of the Goruck challenges

            Glad I could be of assistance. Z is bringing my GR2 to Peru before he decided which bag to order. You can't go wrong with either one. I sound like such a fanboy.

              I'm looking forward to April 2014.

              Not sure how ready I will be for the events coming up in September 2013 and October 2013 as I've had unexpected events come-up.  I never say never & figure I'll know better what i'm doing late August 2013.

              closely related, please keep grinding it out D666, motivating isn't even the word for what you are.  Let me know if you need someone to get you any endorsement deals as you are a poster child for a number of heart healthy diets & healthy choices in general.

                  I was actually thinking the same thing the other day.  I have been working on a project that has been dominating my spare time until just a couple days ago.  I fell out of my workout regimen, but, fortunately, continued with the Paleo diet.  I went for a hike this morning (to get back in the swing of things), and there's no doubt I took a step back from where I was a month or so ago.  I was expecting worse, though.  I don't think it will take me too long to get back to where I was. There are two lessons to be learned here:  1.)  Do everything I can not to fall out of the routine again, and 2.)  Diet is crucial.  I could have taken a major step back if I had not at least maintained my dietary discipline.

                  And a big thanks to d666 and zhivago for keeping the motivation rolling.

                          Solid team here guys! So pumped on this, it has made such a great change for me. I had let fitness drop it's priority in my life due to a couple different things I had going on and we all know how that goes, once you start letting it slide its a real slippery slope. Now I can officially say I  back on track an in a big way and it's completely thanks to D666 and the idea of this challenge. Keep it up guys, we're all doing great things.

                            what do you guys actually train for when preparing for the challenge? it's "just" stamina and willpower right?

                              go to the GORUCK website, it's all laid out about as flat as a pancake. . . but to be fair aLOT of the Challenge is based on the unknown.  i've been working on my endurance and have been trying to work light with plenty of reps of any given thing i'm doing.  i've been slacking a bit with real life sneaking up on me, but i'm still stead fast with my vision of what i'll be doing next April . . .

                              once things cool down for me i'll be posting more in this thread. this thread really keeps me interested in this forum and motivates me

                                            Argh, I have to double check my calendar. That might be a problem

                                            I thought we were talking April?
