last week I completed a 12 mile ruck march with a 30lb rucksack in just under 3 hours. I consumed about a gallon of water and a protein bar on this ruck and it left me completely exhausted for the day and sore for days to come. And that is with a weigth about 1/2 of what I think would be necessary for basic survival.
Considering many Soldiers have difficulty with this ruckmarch, I think the average population would have difficulty with 1/2 of that weight and/or distance.
I think I sprained something just reading about it.
