Gear, Merch, and Inclusivity at PRC

In the Polaris Rucking Crew, we believe that rucking should be accessible to everyone, regardless of financial means or access to gear. Here’s how we ensure inclusivity while also promoting community spirit and engagement:

Merch with a Purpose

We offer items like t-shirts, bandanas, and patches that people can either purchase or earn through member-participation. Any profits from merchandise sales are reinvested into the community, helping us provide opportunities for members to earn gear without payment.

Rucking: More than just a walk

Rucking is simple. At its core, it’s walking with weight. A backpack, a rucksack, a sandbag—it doesn’t really matter what you carry as long as it adds resistance to your steps. But if that’s all you see, you’re missing what rucking really is. It’s not just physical; it’s mental. It’s a test of grit. And, above all, it’s a way to connect—with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.
