^^^^ Awesome!
With season opener I forgot to update this thread. Had come down with a cold over the weekend and for the first time in a very long time, I didn't even hit 15000 steps... more like 2k. Monday I walked, but didnt ruck. However, I finished off the week with about 15 miles with the 62# ruck and 26 miles total. Not the best week, but all things considered... I expect the fall to slow down some due to other distractions... like being in the woods.

Putting the load in the proper place... high on your back... with a frame to distribute the load to your hips is key.

So far October has hit me pretty hard in the volume department. I haven't even really put in a ton of steps period. My cold turned out to be just severe allergies, but it still hits you pretty hard.
One thing I did do is upped my heavy pack from 62# to 65# and my normal pack from 35# to 40#. Obviously not a big jump (only 5%), but it is a mental thing. If I recall correctly 65# was some military weight for some sort of selection... but I can't remember.
Monday I put in a little over 6 miles with the 65#... as well as 3.5 miles Tuesday and 5 miles today. That puts me at almost 15 miles so far this week. I did start feeling it a bit in my lower back and I've noticed that the duffle has compressed height wise and bulged out at the bottom, which means the weight has shifted lower. So I need to pull the trigger and get a narrower bag that I can load up much higher on the back. I am sitting at 180lbs and 40% is just about 70lbs so I don't have much more to go.
