It was approximately 5:30pm, on Friday, 11/16/2018. I hopped into my car, and I was off to Mad Cow’s house to pick up his rucksack that he lent me for the big November Ruck Event.

Bag of Wrenches Pre-Blast – 9/25/18

Like many of you this weekend, YHC watched intensely as Candidate 011 got pummeled for 48+ hours by 7 cadres, all with Special Forces backgrounds, at GoRuck Selection 020.  What the human body is capable of physically was an amazing thing to see.  More fascinating though, was watching him tune out everything mentally. No matter whatContinueContinue reading “Bag of Wrenches Pre-Blast – 9/25/18”

PB for 9/22 Ruiner at TheO: Rivalry Week!!!!

It’s the biggest rivalry ever! USA/Russia? Nope. Batman/Superman? Nope. Derek vs. Hansel? Nope It’s St. X vs. Trinity.

Pre-Blast – The ‘O’ – 9/13/18 ToG

I’m an engineer, not a marketing director.  I don’t like writing Pre-blasts or other blasts for that matter.  However, I do enjoy reading the clever ones (like Methane’s generic cookie comparison), but this isn’t one of them.  I’m a meat and potatoes with butter and salt kind of guy. No frills, no pepper, just saltContinueContinue reading “Pre-Blast – The ‘O’ – 9/13/18 ToG”
