Okay, so let's talk about something I never thought I'd be into, but now swear by: beef tallow. Yep, rendered beef fat. Honestly, I hesitated, but Kev kept pushing. It felt like a pricey pantry move.

You throw a few extra pounds in a backpack (aka a ruck), strap it on, and then.. you just walk. For miles. Uphill.… Continue reading Why We Ruck: Blisters, Backaches, and a Weird Love for Suffering
