Why this kit
Check your headlamp battery, reflective belt, and plate fit before the event. Cadre will inspect every item on the published packing list, and missing items can mean burpees or going home.
This loadout combines the published GORUCK event packing list with socks, foot care, and other items useful during a long event. Check the list and email for your specific event before packing because requirements can change.
Bring two pairs of socks so you can change if the first pair gets wet. Apply Leukotape before the event to protect known hot spots. Pack the required reflective gear, and charge the Petzl Actik Core before you leave.
The published list uses a 30 lb weight for participants who weigh 150 lb or more and 20 lb for those who weigh less. Check your event's current requirement before buying. Color-coded GORUCK plates make the weight easy to confirm during inspection, and the current GORUCK Rucker 5.0 has elevated pockets built for those plates.
This loadout is more than you need for a Basic event under five hours or a five-mile neighborhood training ruck. Star Course navigation events use a different gear list and no plate.
