>It's also 20 degrees F but I'm not a fucking bitch I'm doing this.

Literally nothing, I was out in the 10 degree snow storm that was last week. In winter layers matter more than bulk.
Legs don't matter, as the primary muscle group in use they will generate their own heat. Gotta keep the core warm though and the fingers/ears/nose covered.
If it's your first night out in such weather be aware none of your brown fat has activated yet, so it's going to be cold as shit.

If you're not use to rucking take a break half way point, drink more water, take a piss, and readdress your clothing situation.
Bring more clothing in your bag just in case.
As your clothing will start to get wet with sweat, you will quickly get colder. So add more layers if you need to.

For reference I wear
>All base layers (underwear, socks, fingerless gloves, scarf
>one mid layer (core)
>pants, cotton jacket
>trapper hat
until 0 degrees F.
At which point I switch to full base layer, full mid layer.
It has never gotten cold enough in TN for me to ever need a winter jacket or winter pants, winter gloves or any other meme shit like that.
Until you're like -30F all of that shit is a meme.

Thank you anon it means a lot. I happen to have a rucksack filled with fishing gear, Ill definitely throw some extra layers in it. Also thanks for the tip on the legs because ive been idle in the cold outside wearing sweats under my jeans but I'll take them off.
Thanks again

>walk 2 hrs at 10 km/h untrained, with a 18 kg load while drunk and being a heavy smoker, in sub-freezing weather
Is everyone ehre schizo or just retarded as all fuck? Damn, Americans, try to ignore the stupid ideas your mixed nigger blood whispers to you every day.

>>75736934
Just make sure you keep some underwear on though.

Just because those legs won't get cold won't mean that dick and balls won't get cold.
I once had my dick shrink up so bad inside me I thought it was lost forever, ain't no lie.
Got inside and stepped into the shower and it grew like a god damn daisy out the dirt.
Not something you want to risk exposing to the cold without an additional layer to help trap heat around the groin.
Depends on the wind chill mostly.
It can be cold outside, but the legs warm everything up.

Can't warm up shit if frigid death is blowing right upon your penis tip with only a measly pair of jeans to protect it.
God speed Anon.

>>75736955
I wouldn't expect a coward like you to understand.

>>75736973
Nah he's right, you're retarded.

Just be safe, remember you can always add more layers.
I'm off man, good luck.

>>75737001

>>75736875

>ruck

top lel

say hi to your busted knees for me

>>75737030
I will sendthem a postcard.
Im 30 ive been working like a dog since 17 my knees are in orbit.

>>75736875
Don't have many tips other anon hasn't said, but if you're starting from zero endurance is more important than speed. Just walk this one, wake those muscles up. 10 miles at a moderate pace will take 3-3.5 hours, and that's fine. Just remember, when your legs start to bitch and it feels like you can't go, don't stop. They're going to work, they have to. They've carried you this far and they'll carry you to the end. You got this Boss, proud of you.

>>75737079
I used to walk around 9.7km everyday before I started running for endurance, you don't really have to waste this much time walking for 4 hours.

>>75736875
>I don't run
>I'm going on a 10 mile run
This is gonna be good. Keep me posted.

>>75736875
dunno much about cold weather, but having excess water, a way to start fire and maybe some salty sugary treats never go astray

>doesn't have the guts to live a healthy life with things like regular cardio even though it's boring

Not gonna read your blogpost faggot go be a nigger somewhere else

>>75737102
Im back.
My right foot has a blister, I had to stop at the local tractor supply to use their bathroom and drain it.
Total time was 4 hours 17 minutes.
I feel good

>>75738138
based. enjoy the well earned pain tomorrow

>>75738138
Total distance was also 12.3 miles.
I was going to stop and turn around at the 5.3 mark but I went in a big circle instead
>>75738159
I cant wait lol, Thanks

When my wife gets home I'll take a picture of my foot. The blister is like half a walnut on the front of my foot it's nice.
Taking the worlds best shit right now I dont know why I don't do that more often. Frozen face the whole way but it reminded me of exploring when I was a kid.
Alright now that I, A fat fuck, have gone out to walk you can do it too.
Ill do this shit every saturday.

>>75737079
Thanks anon.
I used to be 400 lbs years ago I made it all the way to 220 at 16% fat, I got married though and I want to go back

>rucking
so whats the point of this meme? from a sense of training cardio theres literally no benefit, you're just slowing yourself down and banging your knees for no benefit at all.

>>75738317
it's hiking with weight as purely exercise instead of hiking to a destination. it doesn't just refer to ruck marching anymore, more weighted walking at ones own pace.

>>75738317
Because I'm not doing it only for cardio. Things may be happening and I have to be ready to defend my family so I want to be fit enough to travel long distances while carrying shit just in case.
Plus not many people (no one esle was out anyway) will go out in the cold and walk that far in boots with no training and for no reason and I'm proud of myself. Its been a few years since I got a good leg day. I used to be a gym rat but covid closed my gym so this is just nice. I used to love a good pump and the soreness became pleasurable and that's what arnold meant when he said he was cumming all day. My legs are cumming right now.

>>75738355

so instead of speeding up to raise the heart rate and challenge your endurance, you slow down and challenge your endurance by weight. thats why i dont find any point to it. only thing I can see is that when you just have to walk, you cant run, maybe say if you are walking with a group you have to match to their pace, then i can see slowing yourself with weight for the benefit of training instead of wasting time walking. a roooooner or a biker etc. will ruck as good as he bikes or runs. dont blow your kneecaps pointlessly i say.
and before you say strenght, no, a biker has the most durable legs, and squat, deadlift, row gives you the strongest legs and back.
to not look like a sore asshat here, Ill just say enjoy if thats your thing, thats most important obv, but take care. injuries takes too long to heal and kill your motivation and progress.

>>75737109
Kid you know you're shitposting about how you're afraid to go in cold weather right?
Literally jeet posting to the extreme.

>>75738138
Hey man welcome back! Glad you're alive.
It's the guy from first response.
How did it all go man?

>>75738521
kek imagine being this weak
>Nooo you can't walk with weight you'll destroy your knees
>literally every other thread "i hurt my back, I hurt my knees, i hurt my hamstrings, I hurt my groin" just by doing basic ass bitch weightlifts
This is why no one listens to you, walking is literally the most natural motion humans have. If you can't walk endurance you are the genetic dead end.
