No easing into this one, men. We rucked, we moved, we woke up the Wildcats!

The Thang
Part 1: Hang & Hustle
Partner up and find your pain buddy:
PAX 1: Ruck Hang hold (because gravity builds character)
PAX 2: Stair run to the door and back
Swap until you both question your life choices.
Part 2: The Diamond of Doom
Over to the baseball field for some ruck-inspired diamond work.
At each base:
🏠 Home – Merkins
🥇 1st – Upright Rows
🥈 2nd – Tricep Extensions
🥉 3rd – Curls
3 rounds, reps of 25, 20, 15.
Between rounds: Ruck Mosey to the foul poles — because why rest when you can suffer?
Part 3: CSAUP Recon Mission
Tried scaling the landscape wall and fence — testing future CSAUP obstacles.
Results: questionable athleticism, solid teamwork, and at least one good story.
Mission: Mostly accomplished.
Mary
Because core work makes heroes (and groans make music):
Ruck Press (with legs held at 6”)
American Ruckers
Flutter Rucks
Abs on fire. Pride intact. Mission complete.
COT (Circle of Trust)

Then came the hard part — saying farewell to Slum Lord on his last regular post at Safari.
We’ll miss his faithfulness, encouragement, and steady presence in the gloom.
The man’s been a rock — always shows up, always brings heart. Safari won’t be the same without him, but we’re pumped to see him take his grit and leadership north to F3 NoGa. Go make ‘em better, brother.
Prayer Requests:
🙏 For Slum Lord — as he transitions to NoGa
🙏 For Hopper
🙏 For Paper Jam

Moleskin
Super Dave and Micky crushed it — not a drop of quit in sight.
Oxbow brought the pain, the plan, and the wall-climbing ambition.
Slum Lord closed out Safari strong — the man rucked out like a legend.
Keep pushing, men. The mission never changes:
Plant. Grow. Serve. Lead.
