Ep. 05 - Larry and Larry - 2021 GORUCK Bragg Heavy

Under The Log - A Podcast about GORUCK Events and People.

Larry Shaffer Jr. and Larry Shaffer III, aka "The Larrys" join us on this episode of Under the Log to talk about the 2021 GORUCK Bragg Heavy. Yes, this event had the option for a Double Heavy and, yes, if you know the Larrys you would think they'd be all about that. Well, towards the end of the interview they tip their hand a little bit about why they only signed up for the one heavy. They also let me know that both of them have recently purchased a GR2.
Among other things, Larry and Larry discuss how they got into GORUCK events and what it is like to do them as a father and son.
As we mentioned in the show, a great way to support this podcast is to visit RuckingChallenges.com and register for this month's event.
