LAND NAV
Forced ruck marches 55+ lbs. plus water. Last ruck was 12:45 min pace over 10 miles along a road. Not breaking any records here but not a bad pace either.
Night land nav with 55+ lbs. ruck plus water on the HAAF land nav course 3 - 4 hour sessions. Granted it's a small area but just getting used to doing it at night was a benefit. The course here isn't used much I don't think and it's dense in many areas. Can't see shit until the eyes are adjusted and using any light forces me to constantly adjust to the dark. I try to use the light as little as possible so I can see what the hell I'm doing in the dark... make sense?? Using less light to see better... WTF. Anyhow, that was some good training until I was told it's a nogo because I don't have proper authorization to be out there using the course. Sooooo... either I go and don't get caught (not a great idea) or navigate off the course at night using other points... best I can come up with to get more land nav time. Not much to use here in Savannah to facilitate the need.
Running, strength training, building hand strength, rucking rucking rucking...
