    Commenting so I can be relentlessly nagged on why I’m too big of a pussy to get in on the whole HCL biz.

    Holler at me if and when there’s a C-L option.

        Robber

        I’m not there… yet. I’m trying to figured out if my back would make the trip.

        At any rate, this conversation is the gateway drug to get me there.

        Seriously though, I’d do the Challenge (or Light) in a skinny minute, and I know there’s enough knuckleheads around the F3 Nation that would love to be a part of this epic event. Selling these spots would go quick once the 1st class fills up.

      Start wearing your ruck to work, every day now. Add 5lbs a week until you can’t pick it up anymore, then grab a rr tie, or fresh cut 8ft log and start doing situps, squats, and overhead presses with it.

    I’m already locked into the Greenville, SC Tough & Light on the same weekend. Is there a way for me to transfer mine to this? Or do I have to transfer my others to something else and then pay separately for these. I could not find them on the GORUCK site.

    1. Huffy Avatar

      GORUCK won’t let you transfer a public event to a custom event, so you would need to transfer your event to another public event.

      I have an email in to GoRuck to ask but like Huffy said, I believe under their new rules you would have to transfer it to another open event to get the credit. I will let you know what I hear.

  58. Schedule C Avatar

    Can someone offer up logistics? Some of us (me) will only be doing the Heavy and then heading back Friday night/Saturday morning after resting up. Where are you guys parking/staying, etc?

    1. Jolly Roger Avatar
      Jolly Roger

      Schedule C, about 40 of us are staying at Sweet Pea’s Hostel on Lexington Ave. Not sure about the others. There will probably be limited shower space there but hopefully we will have about 5 hours inbetween events. From BRR times I remember the YMCA downtown does $5 showers, not sure if that is a BRR thing or just anytime.

      Parking is all over the place but we will be parking in the deck right behind the hostel.

      Are you heading home after the heavy or sticking around?

      1. Schedule C Avatar

        Awesome, thanks! Plan is still evolving but I was looking for a place to crash for a while after the Heavy. I wouldn’t want to drive home after being up for that long. Nap + Aspirin.

      1. Not sure, I am planning on going up Thursday AM.

  60. U-Haul Avatar
    U-Haul

    1. I will most likely be up there Wed night sometime and sleeeeeeeep well into Thursday if possible lol.

    2. Nothing in particular….was wondering as I personally had not seen anything but I probably missed it.

  61. Schedule C Avatar

    For the Heavy packing list they have this: “All participants will bring an extra set of warm clothes. These clothes will be placed into a trash bag and placed in the vehicle that you arrive to the start point in. If for some reason you quit, these clothes will be readily available. You will provide the trash bag as well as what vehicle these clothes get stored in. The trash bags need to be marked and will be inspected at the initial inspection.”

    I wanted to make sure we were doing this or if we had a plan in place for this. It sounds like most of us won’t be close enough to put these clothes BACK in our car after inspection. Can anyone offer info on this? Thanks!

    1. No Help Avatar
      No Help

      For the Bragg Heavy Cadre Dan wanted us to have it even though quitting was not authorized and we wouldn’t be anywhere near our cars once we left the starting point. He didn’t check it, just said to have it in your car.

      So just like at the Bragg Heavy, quitting is not authorized so there won’t be any need for the clothes.

        This was a requirement for the GRH064 last year, but most of us ignored it. Will confirm with Cadre that this is not required since we don’t have any quitters.

    We have the start point but any idea on endex location after the Heavy?? Feel unorganized on logistics for getting back to the hostel to change gear, rides, food, etc. Thoughts…?

  64. Jolly Roger Avatar
    Jolly Roger

    Launch points will be Pack Square Park for all three events, assume endex would be close to that. Hostel is about .3mi away. So I don’t plan on getting in my car until Sunday AM.

    For guys staying in the hostel, the shadows should be taking care of getting us checked in and have some food. I would suggest parking in the parking deck directly behind the hostel at 23 Rankin Ave. Then you can grab your gear, change of clothes and keep it at the hostel during the Tough. Same thing between the Tough & Light, will have some food ready when we are done.

    1. Huffy Avatar

      So no access to the Hostel before the Heavy?

        That is my understanding Huffy.

        That being said, I believe we have 2 open beds at the Hostel. First come first serve.

    Per Jesse, you don’t need a trash bag with your name on it at admin, but every one needs a dry layer of clothes with them. I suggest a dry bag. Oh yeah and PYA

    Lex Luthor

    In an earlier post Jolly Roger mentioned that the YMCA allows for $5 showers.
    Just called and confirmed that the downtown Y (woodfin st) which is 0.4 miles from the Sweet Pea hostel will allow all North Carolina YMCA members can use their facility.
    You need to bring your YMCA membership card and they can log you in at the front desk.
    This gives some extra flexibility on getting everyone showered up in between events or after it is all over.

    What does everyone think about having a picture of a Veteran in everyone’s ruck to honor this event with? It takes minimal effort but has maximum impact.

    How awesome would it be to have gear inspection by Cadre and have them see 50+ guys with pictures of Veterans?
