Tim's Essential Gear Picks
“Pre-military, rucking was a way of life. They don’t call it rucking. They just call it work…
When I joined the military, I remember the first time I got to basic training. The entire basic training class was all Ranger Regiment kids and 18X-ray. This is post 9/11, so every one of those guys had volunteered to go into combat arms because of 9/11. There was this tangible angst of how do we get to war. The first time we got that rucksack on, it felt amazing. This is what it was about. I was so proud and excited to be there.”
