USA-Made Rucksacks

LAST CHANCE to win an ‘85 Land Cruiser FJ60…

Improving on the perfect GR1 rucksack seemed like a pretty tall order. But with their “embrace the suck” mantra and Special Forces pedigree, the team at GORUCK are no strangers to facing a challenge head-on. Introducing: the Heritage GR1. They took their original, rock-solid design and rebuilt it with old-school materials that’ll earn a personalized patina while you ruck—like rainproof military-grade waxed canvas and Red Wing leather. It's made with the kind of construction that'll hold up to years of hardwearing service, just like something straight out of grandad's heyday.

“It’s cardio for people who hate running and lifting for people who hate the gym,” is how Michael Easter describes rucking, a deceptively simple workout with bigtime health benefits. After getting introduced to Michael through GORUCK’s founder, we met up with him in Park City to find out why we should add rucking into our routines. And what better way to do it than hiking up a snowy mountain with 30 lbs of weight on our backs.

Book I’m gifting this year: Want to start off the year on the right foot? Read Atomic Habits. I’ve recently gotten to know author James Clear, and he’s every bit as impressive in person as he is on the page.

Favorite purchase in 2021: When we moved to Austin, we commissioned our good friend, artist Tyler Guinn, to create a painting that incorporates the history of our new home and neighborhood.

Grail gift: Rolling Stone calls the McIntosh MT5, “the turntable of the gods.” When you have a good vinyl system, you realize how much music is hidden in the grooves.

Go-to outfit: A pair of classic Blundstones, Rover pants from Proof, the Slub Curved Hem Tee from Forty Five, and The Waxed Hudson Jacket from Flint and Tinder. Check and mate.

The Griswold house has some competition this year.
