Round 1 of the Navy PRT attempt kicked my butt even if I call myself the age I turn in 3 weeks.

Life goals for 2020 : BB all the things.

Is there a witness requirement for any hikes beyond provisional?

I get that the program is to form buddies but I am in a no mans land between Central and Tidewater (I don’t recognize any of the names of the places posed for Central VA meetup), most of the time I hike at Pocahontas state park. I will spam forums for buddies if I am trying to hit them in the 90 day req. I’ve got to get in shape first. Think I will hike with 45 lbs to get better at hiking with 45 lbs...

That was an oversight. OP corrected. At least two witnesses unrelated to you are required for each qualifying hike unless otherwise specified. This is both to keep us honest and to encourage others to participate.

Suggestion, hike verification can be done using one of various sports/trails apps.  I track mine using Strava and Alltrails.

No way to verify the weight, plus people could cheat by roller skating etc. But more importantly the primary purpose of this is for patriots to network at a local level, rucking by yourself with an app doesn't accomplish that.

For those who live in remote areas--maybe they could apply for exceptions on a case by case basis to extend the window to complete the buddy hikes longer than 90 days? I'm not sure anywhere in VA is remote enough to warrant that though, there is a group in the NC Triad area, the NoVA group, and I'm sure if noplace else we'll get groups in Roanoke/Blacksburg, Norfolk, and Richmond

At some point integrity should be a skill too.  If I or anyone posts a ruck with pics on a tracking app like that then they did it.  Currently we are slim and far between in many areas.  Event hikes would need to be planned to get everyone together to try for the goal.

Chapters can start, at least as of now, simply by associating together with a total of 3 or more people intent on participating. That may change once incorporating is complete, but only if a chapter wants us to centrally assist funding their activities and training opportunities.

We only ask that you keep track of when people complete qualifying events so we can verify when they want to compete in the national events.

I think setting ruck weights using arbitrary numbers is the wrong way of going about it.  It would be better to have a packing list ( ie 4x socks, 2x underwear, 2L water, etc.) and have everyone supply their own gear.  I've spent a lot of time and money acquiring lightweight shit so I never have to be a suffering turtle again.

The method behind the madness for the weights is from pretty extensive testing conducted by the armed forces.

Effectively, it is assuming you may generally pack significantly lighter for your personal everyday gear, but then will often be burdened with extra essential specialized gear, batteries, ammo, extra water, or any other number of things.

It also helps verify a given minimum level of physical capability. 35lbs is honestly pretty light. Many of the NBB guys carry in the 50 to 75lbs range, exuding armor, chest rig, etc.

there's a difference between (a) weight for physical training and (2) accumulating a basic combat load list.  One can do the former with weight that is either the basic combat load, bricks etc., without making the latter a barrier to entry.

But yes, creating a separate packing list for action would be helpful.

Can someone verify the "witness" thing to mean someone has to go along the hikes with you or just has to see the data on whatever app you use once you complete a hike.

Meaning, can go on a 6 mile hike myself then get back and show someone my app or does someone need to come along the hike with me the whole way to verify?

Edit: Also, in this thread https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/American-Battle-Buddies-Warfighter-Challenge-6-7JUN2020/5-2285962/ you state " Open to any individuals who have, by 30 days before the event, achieved at least a 3rd Class Battle Buddy rating from anywhere in the country,..." So if you achieve the provisional rating are you not able to attend?

The idea with the 'witness' is to encourage networking and participation or seek out active groups to hike with. 3 people could complete a challenge at the same time. I can't speak to the rest of your inquiry.

The intent is to get people hiking together- even if the witness doesn't carry weight.

Provisional folks can go on a wait list- they are welcome to attend, but depending on turnout may not get to compete in every event.

I get that hiking is great exercise, I was just under the impression that the Battle Buddies were going to be a more practically focused version of GoRuck.  By that I mean "train like you fight" full-gear shakedown marches that include fieldcraft rather than "sack full of weights" exercising.

I carried half my bodyweight around in the Army and now I'm into Ultralight so packweight discussions make me #triggered lol.

I'll still check out the local Florida group once it gets hammered out, you can't get too much exercise.  It would be nice to meet up with some locals regardless and have some fun.  I support everything you guys have done so far, and I'm not trying to come off as critical with any of this, I just had some misconceptions.

I doubt he will go for this and it seems to be part of the “barrier to entry” and a good one at that. He told me via PM that a local range which has a monthly scaled-to-100-yards HighPower Service Rifle event would be a handicap so I can’t imagine the 22LR 25M Appleseed would.

However doing an AS would make you more than capable of the maximum MOA required to score 70% when you go to a real event.
