FNG Academy

Tried it with a 45lbs plate around a track to complete 5km and worked great!

I’ve only been on a few rucks with the 2.0 trainer but so far I’m loving it. Looking forward to many more mikes with it!!!

I'm 50+ years old and I work in a physical, demanding job that requires me to instruct and lead guys/girls more than half my age. While dealing with lots of injuries, I found rucking. The RDR02 ruck trainer allows me to get a solid workout in and not hurt myself in the process. Moving from a 40lb weighted vest to the RDR02 has allowed me to add weight and go farther. This is definitely a game-changer for me. I highly recommend it!

The bladder is standard issue.

2qt Canteen Pouch

Good job pairing the straw to the canteen. Makes like easier. Straw is easy to clean with products available.

I use both bladder and canteen now. The canteen is certainly old school but more hygienic and lower maintenance. The pouch is high quality and adjustable for non rucking outings. The whole system is a must have.

Fantastic shorts.

Awesome shirt.

I'm an AT through hiker and participate in adventure challenges. I've always used a weighted vest and sometimes even a backpack but the load has always screwed up and uncomfortable. I'm prepping for the Pacific Crest trail and this thing has been so much better for me. Days I can't get out and hike, I can get on my treadmill, set my incline, strap on my ruck trainer and have at it. Completed a 31mile ruck last weekend with it carrying 40lbs. I attribute it partially to the FNG's ruck trainer. I knew how the straps would feel and how to adjust and it's super simple to set up and go. If you're serious about your hiking or training for SFAS, this is a no-brainer. I can say that because I've been in the Army and have been a long-haul hiker for 26yrs and I've tried every gimmick and tool I can find that can save weight, space and help improve my training and reduce risk of injury.

Awesome product.

Low Profile Weight Collar

Being in the Coast Guard attempting Selection for the second time, I got to say, it's so good of yall to come up with this especially for the ones who do not have the same equipment provided. I wish I would have come across this before my first attempt rather than stuffing things into a backpack. I've taken it for about six miles so far and it hasn't been uncomfortable or anything. Definitely worth the wait.

"RDR02" Ruck Trainer

Frame is sturdy and straps solid too. Best training pack I ever had.
