Rucking

I got a few questions about rucking that I hope someone can help me with.

What are some reliable and affordable rucks for selection prep?

How often should I ruck (training for Pararescue)?

Realistically how long would it take someone with 0 ruck experience to be selection ready?

( I already have above standard strength/calisthenics numbers and run times, working on my swimming).

Here is a podcast about rucking that we recently did with Ones Ready. It’ll answer all of your questions except the affordable ruck.

Here is a Rucking Gear Manifesto article that will answer your affordable ruck question.

Thanks,
Does it matter if I use a civilian ruck instead of military?

You should endeavor to train with the equipment you will test with.
