"You're never too old to get wild!"
"I'm a 67 year of cancer survivor using Rucking to help stave off further osteoporosis.
It quickly became clear that my makeshift pack wasn't supporting properly and would hurt so I did finally order the wild gym Rucking Backpack. Big difference!"

I’ve had a lot of rucks from GoRuck®, and this one is the best. Period.
