So I finally scrounged up enough extra money to get MY OWN Goruck GR1 (http://www.goruck.com/products-page/rucksacks/gr1/)


And of course with it being so military inspired, there is a 2X3 velcro patch. other GRT's often get some swagged out patches, so Imma need a good one.


I come to you newschoolers, HELP ME PICK ONE.


btw, I would already have gotten the Honey Badger patch, but one of my homies already has it.

Just delete the extra parenthesis at the end.

Also, $300 for a backpack? Really? That thing better dispense beer and gold from some secret compartment.

more often than not this is true.

anytime we run an event besides GRC, each person carries at least a 12 pack in there.

well after running 5 events in the past few months with a shitty backpack, and being signed up for over a dozen (including a two a day in april) I feel like it's pretty justified.

if youre going to pay $295 for a backpack you better have a good use for it.

apparently Case will pass down the Honey Badger patch to me if I complete the DC June challenge with him.


but then again, this challenge looks fucked after reading the page.

My $60 Dakine sack is just as 'versatile' as that, plus it was made with snowsports in mind, so I'd say it works a whole lot better.  Nice status symbol buddy, everyone loves you now.

I'd tell you to get some red wings, but you can't wear a patch unless you've earned it, and I'm pretty sure there isn't a gay equivalent to earning redwings, soooooo... I say go to an army surplus or vintage store and find some crazy patch from some war long past.

Nice bag. If you're going to be using it for snow stuff, I strongly recommend one of these.

pardon my ignorance, but that would be a negative ghost rider.

Problem has been solved. the guys from GoRuck are collectively getting me a Ruck since they have deemed me the child of the challenge, but the kick is they are putting on the patches on it.



one saying "Cadre wear Ghost Rucks"

MEANING: the cadre (leaders of the challenge) don't wear rucks during the challenge, so this is basically being a sarcastic asshole.

the other is "Reese=1. Cadre=0"

MEANING: another smart ass patch.



the reason for these patches is that they want to make it 10X harder for me by pissing of the cadre haha

nope lol. they just surprised me with it. a bunch of the guys from the community got the idea to do it. It has literally become like a family, and I fucking love it. I'v done like 5 or 6 other things with them now, and my whole summer is based on events with them haha. I'll basically be living with a bunch of 30 year old ex marines and shit half the time. I'm terrified.

well it started when I went as the photoG to class 076 in Richmond, but just ended up doing the whole challenge which got me some respect. then I went to the Tough Mudder with them BOTH days underage, then I did a challenge in DC, then I did the Scavenger in DC with 10 bricks and my camera.

I just worked my ass off and earned their respect, and once you get into the select little community, it literally becomes a family.

the note they sent about the Gr1 literally started with "We are family, and this is what family does for each other when they need it"
