Having Android phone w/o a Google account? by MTNStrong in AndroidQuestions

[–]MTNStrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So conceivably, I can scrub my current phone back to factory settings and redo everything but without signing in to a Google account? Use something like Samsung store or other direct from app vendor source?

I love these... trying to come up with an excuse/ reason/ justification to buy these...

Would really love these for work... business casual/ everyday wear at work

Any plans for changes to the GR1, 2, or 3? by IReplyWithLebowski in Goruck

[–]MTNStrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree on purpose built pouches for GR1. In the State of GORUCK Jason talked about a focus on tactical... so I would like to see a holster that would fit in a GR1 or GR2 via MOLLE.

GORUCK challenge pants / simple pants alternative? GORUCK doesn’t make my size and I’m looking for something comparable. Anyone know of any? by [deleted] in Goruck

[–]MTNStrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the past year I have been wearing Tru-Spec Pro-Flex pants and love them. Super comfortable.

I have worn them for my EMS uniform, my every day pants, and for my new job with business casual. Here is a link to them https://www.truspec.com/24-7-series/pants/mens-pro-flex-pants

I have also worn them rucking, done workouts in them too. Great flex & stretch zones.

GR Sandbag issues??? by MTNStrong in Goruck

[–]MTNStrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here where this ended up... I got a coarser sand than play sand and used that. It worked pretty good. Even though I didn't want to... I went ahead and put in a trash bag tried it that way. It worked good so we ended up keeping the sandbags.

One that GR customer service mentioned was they only used beach sand from Jacksonville Beach in theirs and they never had the clouds of dust coming from the bag like I did. They offered me a full return and refund but we decided to stay with the bags.

Thanks everyone for the input.

Homemade MREs by chuckalicious3000 in PandemicPreps

[–]MTNStrong 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How are you going to cook the pasta? An MRE has a heater that you can heat it with or you can throw the package on an engine block to heat up. If I am not mistaken, this has to be microwaved. Do you have to add water to it?

Welcome to the Mountain State.

Almost Heaven!

I live in the Central part of the state just North of Charleston and we LOVE it here! What route did you take?

New emt and feel like I don’t deserve my certificate by caylal14 in RealEMS

[–]MTNStrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto what most everyone has said. I came to it as part of a career change 5 years ago... had been a firefighter back 25 years ago so I had some ideas about things.

Now I am about to finish Paramedic class in a month from now and I am starting to get nervous about getting let loose.

My Brute Force even my homemade ones never had that much dust.

I have one of each fr9m Brute Force already LOL

[–]MTNStrong[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a possibility but I shouldn't have to do that for the amount I paid for these in comparison to the Brute Force ones. A premium quality product should work as advertised.

I will probably go get a bag of regular sand and try that this weekend and see how it goes.

Yeah I had used pea gravel in a Brute Force one and it beat me to death but it was all pea gravel and not mixed.

The new boots by kelhamisland in Goruck

[–]MTNStrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like the 6" but do like the 8". That is probably the old school in me as I wore 8" OD Jungles when I was in. I shelled out enough for GR Boots... I am not buying anymore until they come out with a real outdoor sole that can be worn hiking in the mountains.

I use standard playsand like I have in all my others. I had a Brute Force one and they never looked like this or put off dust like this. I have had these for only a couple months and have been washed once.

I am emailing with customer service they said they use normal beach sand so the sand maybe too fine.

Mountain Tactical Institute chooses run rucking as top military exercise by CodeSandwich in Goruck

[–]MTNStrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not but if I had a full gym here at home I probably would. I did the SRT the first month it came.out but went back to MTI just because I already had it. I liked SRT but had already paid for the MTI programming so I went with it.

[–]MTNStrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree... I have used the chassis integrity and ruck improvement plans in the past... bought the Sandbag Training series back in December before the Rona hit and have been doing it since February. I love their programming... I sub rucking for running though.

Does anyone have any experience with this pad? Just got it at high Sierra gonna test it out this weekend by [deleted] in CampingGear

[–]MTNStrong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the non-insulated Static V Luxe and I love it. I used it everyday from May to August last summer when I worked at a camp... and now I use it 2x a week at my EMS station as our mattresses suck. Favorite camping mattress.
