Have you signed up for a Ruck yet?

On January 26, we had our first Ruck of the season in Oakland, CA. It was a great day of learning from one another, and sharing our experience and knowledge about long distance hiking with beginning backpackers and thru-hiking veterans!  It was also our first ever SOLD OUT Ruck!!
