How to INSTALL a Sternum Strap! (without yelling or cursing)

[@jimcoon]

I'm 70 years old and have a GR-1. Before I found your video I was ready to toss the sternum strap. Installing this strap could be another event at the next Go Ruck competition. My hands are bleeding, I have a headache and I'm convinced that this strap, like the Go Ruck concept, was devised by someone in the military. Foolishness. Thanks again! I should be fully recovered in a week or so

[@JBOutside1]

glad it worked out! and I hope you recover both physically and emotionally 😜

[@Pokerfacestace98]

I struggled for 20 minutes and had about lost hand strength before I watched your video. You totally saved me!

[@JBOutside1]

Glad it helped! They should just post my video on their page

[@burnitall4011]

They should also pay you! ​@@JBOutside1

I had passed this video in your library as I didn't see the need for it. I have a pre-installed sternum strap on my LR33, but none for my GR2-26 until it arrived in the mail today. I got used to it, and missed having one on the GR2, so had ordered one. This video was excellent, and thankyou for the timesave. I found it interesting that it is from over 2 years ago, so you are now reaching people through space and time as well. Very cool.

[@JBOutside1]

Yes! Glad it helped!

[@oConshien]

this is perfect, thanks. I tried twice and gave up before finding this video 3:00 for those looking to skip the intro

[@JBOutside1]

Glad it helped!

[@threekats7610]

Thank you! GoRuck was out of sternum straps, so I got a fjallraven chest strap which worked 🙂

[@JBOutside1]

Nice!

[@oscarlandrum2384]

just got the GR2 Dyneema and you saved me a lot of hours of cussing. Thank you

[@JBOutside1]

Great to hear!

[@michaelhoneycutt8530]

Great video. Many thanks. My wrists are a bit broken from doing dumb stuff for 23 years in the Army. I still was swearing, but you saved my bacon.

[@JBOutside1]

Glad it helped! 👍🏻

[@Elusive_Quasar]

Thank you! I just got a GR1 and preparing for a GrowRuck event. This was an easy tutorial to follow

[@JBOutside1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RenzinatorStrength1961]

Nice video. I was happy to see that the sternum strap my new 4.0 Rucker is already in the correct spot.

[@JBOutside1]

Right on!

[@kaymatthew6812]

Took me less than 5 minutes with the help of this video. Thank you very much!

[@JBOutside1]

No problem!! Glad it helped!

[@BraiytryeneGibbons]

lol 😂 glad I’m not the only one getting pissed at a clip . Thanks for this video 😂

[@JBOutside1]

You bet! 👊🏻

[@sgrun100]

I still cussed😂. Thanks that helped. I wanted to buy 3.0 but was not in stock so I purchased 4.0 . New to rucking but not to the outdoors and lots of activity. Looking forward to rucking getting back and core stronger

[@JBOutside1]

Nice! Let me know how it goes!

[@kmc3]

Holy cow! JB, you are a genius. Thanks!

[@JBOutside1]

Glad to help

[@Duanewrites]

frosty beverage + this video = zero cursing Thanks!

[@JBOutside1]

Haha, glad it helped! That reminds me…frosty beverage…🍻

[@dilemmamike]

Life saving tip! Thank you!

[@JBOutside1]

You got it! 👊🏻

[@israelpena8163]

Before this video, kneeling on the garage floor with some quality cussing for 10-12 mins. In my office installing along with the video < 3 mins. Then cussed for not checking KZbin first.

[@JBOutside1]

Glad it helped! 😎

[@ohnvokl]

Two years on and it's still a PITA to get on and off. Hard to believe the same team designed the strap and the rucks O_O

[@JBOutside1]

But once it’s on it’s ON! 😜

[@ThePapaBill]

Just attached to my GR Bullet - thank you!

[@JBOutside1]

Awesome Bill! Glad it helped!

[@Sara_marie_positivity]

Do you have a video for properly installing the waist belt too? Whenever I go to use it, it just pulls right out.

[@JBOutside1]

I don’t. But you have to weave the long piece through sets of webbing, on the bag and strap

[@EllaCharlotteJones]

thanks! useful for my fjallraven chest strap

[@JBOutside1]

😎

[@phraktl]

Much appreciated. Thank you!

[@JBOutside1]

You bet!! 👊🏻

[@3drumsticks]

Thank you JB!

[@JBOutside1]

👊🏻

[@jeremydavidmarshall]

Where do I buy the parts? One of my sternum straps broke.

[@JBOutside1]

Link in the description for a new one is easiest

[@Maggie_R]

Thank you so much!

[@JBOutside1]

You bet!!

[@JustFluxz]

How high should the sternum strap be?

[@JBOutside1]

Mostly personal preference, but mid-chest is most comfortable for me.

[@samanthatd]

It’s a workout in itself to get these moved 😅

[@JBOutside1]

🥵

[@simonleonp]

thanks for the vid

[@JBOutside1]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@rj12w]

Wow...people would get upset putting a sternum strap on? We are doomed! hahaha

[@JBOutside1]

True

[@tiagomoraisc]

we did it

[@JBOutside1]

YES!!

[@incognito1409]

Great, now can you do a video on removal please?

[@JBOutside1]

Easy. Just watch it in reverse! 😜🤣

[@incognito1409]

@@JBOutside1 dude!! 🤣👍🏻

[@seechangenyc280]

Bless you! My nails thank you.

[@JBOutside1]

Haha, glad it helped! 😁

[@MisterJIFF]

I am angry with the one in chz22, my timbuk2 was a dream

[@JBOutside1]

It’s crazy how many different design there are!

[@GWiggles69]

Clutch

[@mafa7538]

I used a butter knife and it helped

[@JBOutside1]

Good tip…literally 😜

[@becky_please_no5728]

I got angry just watching this. I can't get mine off to adjust it. I'm a woman and it came with the strap too low. I'll try again tomorrow now that I've watched this.

[@JBOutside1]

Yeah I took a few breaks in the beginning too. Hope the video helps for round 2

[@johnnynguyen3521]

I use a defy bags cobra buckle sternum strap on my kaidan gr2. Much easier to use

[@JBOutside1]

Plus it looks awesome! How’s the weight? It doesn’t feel big?

[@burnitall4011]

Thank you so much!

[@JBOutside1]

You're welcome!
