© 2025 TrailZen / All Rights Reserved Rucking is the action of walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack). 1. GET A RUCKSACK AKA BACKPACK DonŐt overthink it, this is easy. Get yourself a pack. If you are new to rucking, don't worry about which type of pack you use. There are rucksacks made specifically for rucking, but the important part is that you get started, so grab any backpack you can find laying around. 2. ADD WEIGHT Now that you have your bag, you need to put some weight in it. We recommend Ruck Plates, specifically designed to fit GORUCK Rucksacks, but you can start with what you've got. Grab a weight and wrap it in a towel for cushion, and put it in the bag. Anything will work as your weight - dumbbells, bricks, books, you can even fill the bag with potting soil, just add weight.
