Had to look up the term "rucking". I never considered it a workout before but it certainly is. As a kid around here I called it going for a "nature walk" which basically meant me and my buddies sneaking into the woods for a smoke so Mom wouldn't find out. But, joking aside, I think that is a splendid idea for building strength, endurance and getting out into nature which is good for the brain/mind. I have acres and miles of trail readily accessible to hike but just finding time to do it is not easy. By the time I get home from work, do the jobs that need done around the place, it is almost time for bed, weekends take up time with cutting wood, mowing, preserving and maintenance. Too many jobs and not enough me.

How quickly can you get water borne? I guess I was thinking when it is time to go it should be done as quickly as possible. If this happens and you need to go when it is cold, if there is ice , how will you break it up? Or is this just a warm weather option?
I was thinking about the winter travel too. Even a bad spring the water can be flowing fast. When SHTF there won’t be people managing those dams to control the extra runoff water so it would be good to have a backup to the water travel for certain times of the year or conditions.
I don't need to do this now. I live at the BOL. Still, it would have been a nice canoe trip!
if you've got an inflatable and NVD goggles, you can go at night, carrying quite a bit of stuff, including a mountain bicycle. If you have to portage, deflate the raft, put it on the trailer, walk alongside of the bike, BOB on the bike's buddyrest and rear fender rack, rifle spring-clamped across the handlebars. Room on the front fender for more stuff. ditto in the saddlebag position.
Mountain bike in the inflatable raft? And a trailer? I'm unpacking, deflating and reinflating Everytime I have to go around a brush pile in the water?
Your advice sucks.
Why not ask some questions? Like, what sort of water are you on? Small creeks, rivers, lakes? I'm my case this trip would have been all three.
It's nice being able to move around in your boat a little. So you can scoot upfront and cut some branches, or push off something. Inflatables are nice, but they get holes. I say this because my inflatables get holes, not because I think an inflatable could get a hole.
Your ban is appropriate. I don't believe for a second you are actively doing much of anything, shooting, boating, or otherwise.
Take long distance biking with **** strapped all over your bike. Stuff moves around, it rubs on the tires, it wears you out pedaling, your **** on the front fender is going to take some getting used to it throws off your balance and cornering...
Go do something. Today, I will do something related to prepping, I doubt that you can say that, but if you come back as some one else, by all means, let me know what you did.
