#I call them the Alpha Baboons because. Just like the case study of the alpha baboons who were bullies and ate poison trash and died.--

Note
I like both ideas, bc it provides an opportunity for the Dark Forest to evolve in some way; I really like the idea of Curl taking lead and trying to make the Dark Forest cats united (not for any real GOAL, but bc they're still clan cats dammit, and separated in little pockets they'll never be able to grow).
The camp one is kinda obvious- it was a place of horror, but they need a place to stay. She never came too close to the place until she realized that if she wanted to unite the cats into a group, they needed a camp. And Starclan (she hisses at the irony) knows she'll never do it on her own. She enters, and it terrifies her- before she knows it shes backing away and fleeing. Over time though, she makes it further in, stays a bit longer. She finds the dens are still pretty decent, and that her heart feels a lot lighter as she rips down and destroys the cage. She's elated to find hierloom tools in the camp eventually- some are broken, but can be fixed. She purrs as she thinks how happy Darkstripe would be to have some proper cooking tools. This was a place of fear and death, yes, but it doesn't always have to be that way, does it?
The dogs less so but hear me out. At first she is haunted by the dogs, downright terrified- the gnashing of teeth, the frenzied barks. It's not even anything she can think or dwell on; as soon as she hears the howling and barking, she's immediately running away, fleeing as far as her paws take her. She knows she'll never actually die here, but she's still so, so scared. Maybe she comes to the conclusion on her own, or maybe someone else points it out, but eventually she realizes what you mentioned. She saved her CHILD- she should be PROUD, not scared. This is her greatest moment- her death an irrelevant footnote compared to her baby's life. Idk *exactly* how it should go, but she confronts her fear, and manages to 'tame' it. She is no longer afraid, this illusion holds no power over her. Either they fade away and just stop existing without Curl's fear to feed it, maybe they turn docile and harmless, idk. No matter what though, i have a feeling that something like THAT will catch the eye of some DF cats, sorta like a Tiny to Scourge deal. "She got rid of her land mar" into "She destroyed the land mar" to "She KILLED her land mar"- even the first one has to gain her some respect frok the others, and gives her a solid footing to try and get cats together and united.
Ask was sent a while ago, and I've been looking at it since then. It's a really good pitch, and I had things to do, so I just passively chewed it for a while. Both ideas are really good; so I was trying to think of some way to get them together.
I think I've got a good thought now;
I'll make Curlfeather's Land Mar dog related.
But they're not the same dogs that actually attacked her (which, depending on how the arc goes, might ACTUALLY be apparitions from the Dark Forest which Ashfur dragged out for his schemes. Specifically they'd be Brightheart's nightmares.)
Curlfeather's Hounds are blind. They hunt completely through "smell," and they smell her fear
I can keep her Land Mar being quite unique by actually having it follow her. Instead of it being a place she's trapped in, she's haunted by random dog events which will inevitably interrupt any plans she makes.
So she's perpetually close to making the group that she wants, uniting these demons just because it's what she deserves, but she is forced to flee when her hounds find her.
The camp she ends up using doesn't have to be her OWN Land Mar; I have another cat who actually has a 1:1 camp as theirs.
Morningstar, the deposed leader of ThunderClan who refused to allow his cats to fight. His is simply his camp, on the day where Pearstar invented the Right to Challenge and killed him for his position.
Morningstar's also HATED in the Dark Forest, because of his pacifism. Thinking about it, it's actually a great parallel for what I'm planning with Curlfeather!
She has disdain for her father because she sees him as weak. Reedwhisker swearing loyalty to The Kin after being tortured was her catalyst for believing he needed to die; that RiverClan would have a sniveling, careless leader.
So if it's Morningstar she ends up developing a bond with, they can help each other.
Morningstar can make her realize that her terrifying death by the dogs is something she can be proud of. That it isn't something to fear and revile, but a sign that when she was forced to choose between love and ambition, she chose love.
And Curlfeather can see that maybe people like Morningstar, who she'd always seen as weak, have wisdom she'd never considered. Uniting these cats isn't about power or recognition; it's just about helping to make everyone's lives better.
I can even keep the "empty camp" idea. Stepping into Morningstar's gloomy Land Mar, setting a little fire just to help with the mist, and realizing it's not all that bad. There's old tools laying strewn about, the dens are all in working order. We can make a proper home here, if we let it be.
There's probably a cage there because of Ashfur, maybe it's the one that he made the demons toss Rootspring into. Maybe I'll have the demons eventually trick Curlfeather's Sighthounds into Deadfrost's Labyrinth, if Shredtail's still around. He double-died in canon but I wouldn't be too opposed to killing someone else in his stead.
She'll also have to prove herself to the other demons. Most of them are pretty wary of "leader-types" after what happened with Tigerstar. Ironically the closest thing they have to a "leader" is Darkstripe because his soups are so good. If he doesn't like your vibe, you're cut off from the "Social Circle."
I need to make some sort of pun out of Rings of Hell and Social Circle. Social Ring of Hell.

Rage Awakened (4)
Ten years ago, Terra, Aqua, and Ventus lost their fellow apprentice, Sora, in Deep Jungle. Now, they are to return with two new students, Riku and Kairi, to lock the heart of the world. All the while, something watches from the trees. Feral!Sora AU
FF.net | Ao3
@chachacharlieco2 @violetstar-writes
They had been in Deep Jungle for days now. Nothing to see but plants and heartless. Even the gorillas had disappeared from the first time they saw them. They were no closer to finding the keyhole than they were on the first day when they hadn’t even started looking.
The sightings of the wild boy continued, though no one was ever able to get a clear look at him.
One morning, while breakfast was being prepared, everyone sat around in various degrees of wakefulness. Then, without warning, a wicker basket filled with fruit fell from the ceiling and landed next to Kairi with a ‘wham!’
Everyone jumped at the gift, startled, before Ventus called out, “thank you sentient tree house!”
Then, three days into the voyage, with no end in sight, they finally made some headway.
It came mid afternoon, on a day that was hot and humid, as most days were in the jungle. The bugs were out, and everyone was cranky from sleeping on the floor for so many nights.
Riku was heading the pack, his job was keeping everyone going in the same direction, north by northwest. All the while, Kairi brought up the rear, her eyes wandering the canopy, just as she had on the first day.
“Look!” She cried, seeing something through the trees. “A treehouse!”
“Ugh, we’re back at camp? We walked all the way around the world?” Asked Ventus with a groan.
Kairi was already pushing plants aside to make her way over. “No! It’s a different treehouse!”
And indeed it was. Smaller than the first one, but newer. A second even smaller treehouse sat in the adjacent tree, connected with a bridge. There was a rope ladder hanging down, and smoke coming from a little chimney.
“Hello!” Called Kairi. “Is someone there?”
Terra and the rest caught up with her. “Wait! What if they’re dangerous?”
Riku interjected. “This is the first lead we’ve had! We should take it!”
A brunette woman poked her head out the window of the treehouse. “My goodness! I’m not hearing things!” She called, with an English accent. “There’s people! I’ll be down in just a moment!”
“She looks nice,” Ventus commented.
The woman descended using a vine, sliding down and landing right in front of them. “Hello! My, it has been some time since I’ve seen other people! You must be from another world! Are you here to study the gorillas?” Then she grew less friendly, “or are you here to hurt them? Because if you are, I’ll—I’ll...well, I’m not sure what I’ll do, but I can assure you it won’t be pleasant!”
Ventus whispered to Riku. “I like her.”
“We’re not here to hurt the gorillas,” Terra said, raising his hands peacefully. “In fact, we’re here to help them, in a way, Miss uh...”
“Oh, where are my manners? My name is Jane, Jane Porter. It’s a pleasure.” She held her hand out.
He shook it. “I’m Terra, these are my friends, Aqua, Ventus, Riku, and Kairi.”
“So, what does bring you folks to our Jungle?”
“Well,” Terra explained, hesitating. “We’re looking for a keyhole.”
“And a wild man!” Ventus added.
“Preferably both,” said Aqua.
Jane smiled, “well, I know of no keyhole, but the wild man you’re looking for is probably my husband. He should be along here sometime. Won’t you all come up and have some tea?”
Kairi’s heart sank into her shoes. That boy had been someone’s husband? And he had kissed her? Oh this was not good.
“Tea sounds lovely, thank you.” Aqua agreed.
Jane led the way up to the treehouse, gesturing them inside. “Come in! Come in! Make yourselves at home. I know it must be exhausting hiking through the jungle. Sit wherever you’d like.”
Immediately Ventus and Riku plopped down on a couch that, despite its Victorian appearance, was quite comfortable.
Jane set on the kettle and then called out to the neighboring treehouse, “Daddy! Daddy wake up, we have company!” Then she looked at her guests. “My apologies, it’s been so long since we had visitors that spoke English! You see, we’re researchers. About three years ago, Daddy and I came here from a neighboring world called London to study the gorillas.”
“Oh!” Cried Ventus. “We’ve been to London!”
Riku nudged him, “hush.”
“You have?” Said Jane happily. “Sometimes I really miss those streets, but other times I remember all the smoke and noise, and I’m glad I stayed here.”
“Why did you stay?” Asked Terra politely. “Your husband?”
“Yes, precisely. Daddy and I came here with another man, Clayton, on a grant to stay for about a month. Nearly the first day we arrived, I met him. He saved me from an angry fleet of baboons. A flying man in a loin cloth…”
“What’s his name?” Asked Riku.
“Oh, it’s...it’s a little odd, it’s Tarzan.”
The group collectively deflated, now knowing that the wild man was not who they wanted him to be.
“He didn’t speak any English,” Jane continued. “So, we taught him. We taught him reading and writing, math and science, about all the other worlds and galaxies out there. When the ship came to take us back, we tried to get Tarzan to come along with us...but our guide Clayton betrayed us, caged all the gorillas, and killed the alpha.”
The group stayed quiet, letting her speak, since it seemed so long since she had had any company.  “Tarzan and Clayton fought, and in the end, Tarzan won. But the alpha, in his dying moments, chose Tarzan to be the next leader of the pack. So he couldn’t return with us.” A small smile came to her face. “So I decided to stay too, and so did daddy.”
At that moment, a small old man came in the door, “I say, we do have company! A mighty gay crew of young adventurers at that! How wonderful! Archimedes Q. Porter, at your service! Jane, you’ve got the kettle on?”
“Of course, Daddy. They’re here in search of a keyhole, and they were looking for Tarzan!”
“A keyhole? In the jungle? You might as well be looking for a needle in a haystack!”
Jane took pause. “Come to think of it, for what reason are you looking for Tarzan?”
Aqua answered. “Well, at first we wondered if he was someone we once knew. But, we also wondered if he would have any hints to finding the keyhole...”
“And what does this keyhole lock, or unlock, as the case may be?”
“Well...” Terra and Aqua shared a look, trying to decide what was appropriate to say.
Riku took the decision away from them. “Have you seen the strange creatures that look like monkeys, but definitely aren’t?”
“Oh! You mean those blue menaces?! Of course! They’re the reason we had to leave the old treehouse!” The professor exclaimed.
“You mean the two-story one? A bit south of here?”
“That’s the one!”
“That’s where we set up camp! The heartless were a big problem there?”
“Is that what they’re called?” Asked Jane. “And why yes, but...they’ve been a problem everywhere in the Jungle. Tarzan is nearly at his wits end trying to kill them all! But they just keep coming back! They breed like rabbits!”
“They don’t actually breed…” Terra began. “The heartless are born of the darkness in people’s hearts. They’ve been getting worse everywhere. The locking the keyhole will stop them from swallowing this world completely, and get them to stop re-spawning.”
Jane sighed in relief. “If that’s the case, I’m sure Tarzan will do what he can to help you.”
Then, the kettle screamed, and Jane began to serve the tea. “You know, you say those heartless are made from the darkness in people’s hearts. It makes quite a bit of sense then, really, since they came around the same time we did. Clayton, the man I spoke of before, was terribly evil. We hired him to keep us safe in the jungle, but he ended up being the biggest threat.” She put the tea on the tray and brought over for everyone to take a cup. “I still feel awful about it. This world would have been so much better off if we hadn’t come.”
“Would Tarzan?” Asked Aqua.
And just like that, a figure dropped into the room with a ‘whomp’, poised on the balls of his feet.
Jane collected herself quickly. “There you are, darling! We have guests!”
The man was already halfway across the room, giving each of the wielders a studious look. “Guests…”
“They said they’ve been looking for you.”
“For me?” He took a special interest in Terra, Aqua, and Ven. “Been to see my mother. Said she and others were rescued from the not-chimps by people. One that looked like me,” he pointed at Terra, “one with hair like water,” he pointed at Aqua, “and one with hair like bananas.” He pointed at Ventus.
“Hey!”
“Oh yes!” Said Aqua, “we saved some gorillas from the heartless. Are they your family?”
“Yes, my family. Thank you.”
Ven grinned. “No sweat, it’s our job.”
“Kairi, is this the man you saw?” Riku spoke up.
It was almost with relief that she said, “no, he’s not.”
“Not Tarzan? My, then I feel sorry for wasting your time while I just rambled…hold on, you mean to say you saw another wild man out in the Jungle?”
“Yes, a few days ago.”
“Other,” said Tarzan. “One other.”
“Other? Oh!” Jane gasped. “Goodness gracious, I had completely forgotten about him! There is another wild man out there, but I only saw him once…and he was not very friendly. He almost got violent actually, Tarzan had to wrestle him away.”
“Not like Tarzan,” Tarzan said, “not part of pack. Comes and goes.”
No one got their hopes up. That didn’t sound like Sora at all.
Still, Riku asked, “does he have a name?”
After a moment, Tarzan answered:
“Sora.”
Aqua’s teacup shattered on the floor, as she stared at the man in horror. “I...I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to...”
“Oh, it’s alright,” Jane pacified. “Not much use for china in the Jungle, right? Are...are you alright?”
Aqua rubbed the heel of her hand into her eye. “I...I’m fine...” though as she said it, more tears came until she was weeping openly.
Terra quickly rushed over, and embraced her, where she buried her head in his shoulder to cry.
“Said something wrong?” Asked Tarzan.
“No,” said Terra, his voice choked up. “You said the right thing.”
“You’re...his family, aren’t you?” Jane surmised.
“Yeah...we...we came here about ten years ago, for a training exercise. He was only six then, and we left him and Ven at camp. When we returned, the camp was destroyed, Ven was unconscious and bloody, and Sora was nowhere to be found.”
“We searched for days!” Aqua sobbed. “But all we found was his bloody clothes. We didn’t think he could have—we thought he was dead! But all this time, he’s been here. Alone...”
“There there, don’t blame yourself.” Jane consoled, getting her a fresh cup of tea. “Given the evidence you found, it was a very natural conclusion you arrived at. You searched for days. And...he’s alive. You’ll be reunited!”
“But, I can’t help but be afraid, what if he thinks we abandoned him here?”
“If you explain it, he’ll understand.”
Terra asked Tarzan, “what can you tell us about him?”
The man scratched his head, trying to recall old memories. “Found him when he was small. Hurt. Scratched. Naked. Brought him home to family, for help. Kerchak didn’t want him to stay. Said he was marked as prey, being hunted. Mom begged him to stay until he was healed. Kerchak agreed. Thought he would die, but didn’t. He healed, and stayed with us for a while, and then left. Found him later, hurt again, brought him back again. Over and over, same thing. Kerchak was right, marked as prey, but predator doesn’t kill. Still hunting him.”
That was troubling. “He’s being hunted? By what?” Asked Aqua.
“Strange creature. Black, blue, and red.”
“That sounds like a heartless,” said Riku with mounting concern.
Tarzan further explained, “when first met Sora, he made weird sounds. I now know it was English. Then each time we found him, made less of those noises, more animal noises. More animal behavior. Now, he is  like something different. Not like Jane, not like Tarzan’s family. Not like Tarzan.”
“What kind of animal is he acting like?”
“One I have never seen before.”
Kairi still didn’t mention her other encounter with him at the treehouse, but she thought about it. He had parroted what she had said, and if this truly was Sora, shouldn’t he be able to recall at least a little bit? Had he lost himself that much?
Everyone else was considering Tarzan’s news of a heartless hunting Sora. What sort of Heartless plays with its victim for over ten years? It sounded like the intentional work of Maleficent.  
Jane broke the silence, “Tarzan, have you ever heard of a keyhole? Our friends are looking for one.”
He thought a moment. “I know of lots of holes. Explain more?”
Jane went over to her dresser, grabbed her jewelry box, and brought it over for him to see. “This little hole right here is a keyhole, if I put the key in it, it unlocks the box, and I can open the lid. In London, all the houses have keyholes on them so you can get inside.”
“And there’s one in the Jungle?” He asked the guests.
“There should be. We just…have no idea where to start,” Said Aqua. “Is there somewhere or something significant in the jungle? Something important?”
“There’s the waterfalls,” Jane mused. “It’s the main freshwater source, at the heart of the Jungle.”
“The heart of the Jungle!” The five exclaimed.
“We have to go to the waterfalls! Can you take us there, Tarzan?”
The man wandered over to the door, looking outside, thinking.
“He’s a very quiet man.” Jane whispered to her guests. “He’s basically the king of the Jungle, so he must consider the animal’s safety.”
He came back and declared, “not yet, but I will come for you soon. Where is your camp?”
“At the old treehouse, to the South.”
He nodded in understanding. “I will try to find Sora, tell him his family looks for him. Thank you for helping us.”
Later that night, Aqua boarded the gummi ship, as she had every night of their trip, and called Master Eraqus.
“It’s late, Aqua. Busy day?”
“Yes, Master. We finally found a lead. There were some researchers from another world here to study the gorillas, and the woman married a man raised by the apes.”
“A man raised by the apes? He was there last time too?”
“I guess? He looked about Riku’s age. They said the waterfalls are at the ‘heart’ of the world, and once the timing is right, he’s going to take us there.”
“The timing?”
“Yes…I’m not exactly sure what that means, but Tarzan has to protect the other animals, he’s like their king. So we have to abide by his rules.”
“Thus preserving the order of things, of course. Well, I hope it doesn’t take too long, for everyone’s sake. How are the rest? Is everyone alright?”
Aqua didn’t answer immediately, her glance away from the screen. “Master, we…I think we found him.”
“…you don’t mean…?”
“Kairi said she saw a wild man in the Jungle, who saved her from the heartless. When we met the researchers, they confirmed there was wild man, another besides the one we met today. They said his name is Sora.”
“Oh god…”
“Master, what are we going to do? We can’t just leave him here!”
“I know, I know…but we mustn’t be hasty. We need to treat him with care, find out what he would like to do. We can’t force him to do anything.”
“One other thing…Tarzan said he was marked as prey. Said he was being hunted by a strange black creature.”
Eraqus frowned hard. “That’s not good. The boy’s heart is strong, and doubtless a very powerful heartless has its eyes on him. No matter what Sora decides in the end, you will need to stop that heartless. We owe that much to him at least.”
Aqua nodded in agreement. “Yes master.”  
“And Aqua?”
“…yes?”
“It’ll all work out in the end.”

Ruckpack Review: Don’t Buy Before You Read This!
What is it?
Ruckpack is a nootropic supplement designed by former Marines. They invented the blend while on duty in Afghanistan and then began mass-marketing it to civilians in 2008.
Their advertising claims that it is able to increase alertness and mental performance, even in stressful situations. It is said to be a stimulant that gives energy longer than other energy shots, and that is healthy for daily use.
The top nootropic aid on the market is Memotenz. Their memory and cognition booster has been shown to improve users’ mental functioning in a variety of ways. Click here to see everything that goes into Memotenz’s unique proprietary blend.
Do You Know the Best Brain Enhancement Supplements of 2017?
Ruckpack Ingredients and Side Effects
A-GPC Branched Chain Amino Acids MSM Theobromine
A-GPC: The common abbreviation for Alpha-glycerophosphocholine, a compound that contains choline. A-GPC is manufactured naturally in the body, but can also be synthesized in a laboratory or found in some forms of red meat and organ tissue.
A-GPC is a phospholipid similar to lecithin that, when absorbed, can be metabolized into the neuroprotectant choline. Choline is a part of the neurotransmission process and is thought to be important for preventing cognitive decline.
It has not shown any sort of boosting effects in terms of cognitive performance except in those individuals with severe choline deficiencies. Most people manufacture enough of the chemical on their own that supplementation is largely unnecessary.
There are no known side effects for A-GPC at this time. It is well tolerated by the majority of people.
Branched Chain Amino Acids: A specific form of amino acid group that includes leucine, isoleucine, and valine, three of the nine essential amino acids. Branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) have a number of different functions in the body.
BCAAs play a role in metabolism, protein synthesis, immune function, and brain function. They are generally beneficial for the body, however they are unlikely to provide much of a nootropic boost.
BCAAs are so broadly used by the body that there is no guarantee when you consume them that they will be used for brain function, and even if they are it is mostly in in the maintenance of a healthy baseline for mental performance.
Like choline, BCAAs are a natural part of the body, however increased levels of them does not always translate to increased effectiveness. Users will not experience any sort of perceptible boosting effect from taking BCAAs, and they are not of any use as a study drug or short-term performance enhancement aid.
It is possible that taking BCAAs as supplements can lead to side effects in some individuals. Some possible consequences to BCAA ingestion include fatigue and the loss of muscle control. People are not advised to take BCAAs before engaging in physical activity or activities that require precise coordination. It is also not recommended that people with any of the following conditions take BCAAs:
Alcoholism
ALS
Ketoaciduria
Pregnant or breast-feeding
MSM: The common abbreviation of methylsulfonylmethane, a sulfur molecule that occurs naturally in the body. It can also be derived from certain kinds of green plants, animal byproducts, or synthesized in a laboratory.
MSM is a popular joint health ingredient because of its anti-inflammatory properties, however it is not known as being effective for mental performance. The conditions that it has been shown to help treat include:
Muscle damage
Hemorrhoids
Osteoarthritis
Hay fever
Rosacea
Our panel of health and wellness experts in general recommend MSM as a supplement, however not for any nootropic reasons. It has not been shown to improve memory, cognition, thinking speed or accuracy, focus and attention, or any other category that you would use to measure a brain health and performance aid.
Theobromine: An alkaloid most commonly found in cacao, the raw form of chocolate. It is the second most common central nervous system stimulant in the world behind only caffeine. Despite the similarity of their names, it is not at all related to the chemical bromine.
Theobromine is not as potent as caffeine, however its effects are still very similar. It increases heart rate and widens blood vessels, which can be useful for brain function as well, however it can also lead to serious fluctuations in blood pressure, both up or down, depending on the individual.
It is not properly considered a nootropic aid because it does not increase brain function. Users that are particularly fatigued may notice a boost in their mental performance, however that is more related to alleviating the detrimental effects of fatigue than actually changing the brain’s functionality in any meaningful way.
Theobromine consumption can lead in some cases to theobromine poisoning. The more theobromine that is consumed, the more likely users are to experience the following symptoms:
Increased urination
Nausea and vomiting
Epileptic seizures
Internal bleeding
Heart attack
Death
Theobromine poisoning is often called “chocolate poisoning,” however it is unlikely that users could consume enough chocolate to affect them negatively. When taken in supplement form, however, it is much more likely, especially if users are not aware of how much they are taking.
Click here to see which nootropic supplements have the best chance of working for you and your specific needs.
EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this product with a proven brain enhancement supplement such as Memotenz for better results.
Ruckpack Quality of Ingredients
Ruckpack has an odd ingredients blend for a nootropic supplement. Most of the ingredients are ineffective short-term boosters that may have some long-term protective value but will not be able to offer much in the way of increased mental performance capabilities.
The main exception to this is theobromine, which is both less effective than caffeine and more dangerous than most other nootropic supplement ingredients. It is not recommended in general, however the way that Ruckpack displays their ingredients blend makes it even more dangerous.
Ruckpack does not list individual dosage amounts for their proprietary blend. They list the combination as 810 mg in total, but offer no information about how that is distributed. With a chemical like theobromine that has such a low upper daily limit and such serious consequences for overdose, it is irresponsible not to know how much you are taking at a time.
Follow this link to learn which nootropic agents tested the highest in our independent analysis.
The Price and Quality of Ruckpack
Ruckpack comes in the form of a once-daily liquid shot, similar to a 5-Hour Energy. Each shot tends to be far more expensive than most supplements that come in pill or capsule form. Their website lists their price as:
1, 15-count box of Ruckpack shots: $41.50
When shipping and handling is factored in, users are paying as much as $3 per day for the supplement, which is well above the normal range for products of this nature.

Business of Ruckpack
Ruckpack is a nutrition and supplements company founded by former Marines who based their products on chemicals that were given to soldiers during wartime. Their contact page lists the following information:
Phone Number: (800) 877-7502
Address: PO Box 270543
San Diego, CA 92198
Ruckpack originally got their start up capital from the television show Shark Tank. There is no evidence of any formal legal complaints having been filed against Ruckpack.
For data about which nootropic supplements are the best at improving users’ memory and attention span, follow this link.
EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using brain enhancement supplements for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.
Customer Opinions of Ruckpack
Some people have said that they like Ruckpack, however there are also quite a few people that claim it has not worked for them. By far the two most frequent responses on Amazon are one star, the lowest rating, and five stars, the highest. These are some of the comments that previous customers have left:
“I saw this product on Shark Tanks and wanted to like it because I’m a former Marine too. I hate to say this about former service people, but I took the whole box and got nothing whatsoever from their product.”
“Disgusting and ineffective. This stuff tastes like licking a baboon’s butt and is just about as effective.”
“I could get over the awful taste if this stuff worked, but it didn’t. It did give me the runs all afternoon, but that’s about it. Trash.”
The most common complaint, which was found even in the positive reviews of the product, was that it tastes and smells very bad. The next most common reaction was that it was ineffective, and there were also several reports of unpleasant side effects.
Click on this link to get access to the complete library of our experts’ reviews of the best nootropic supplements on the market today.
Conclusion – Does Ruckpack Work?
Ruckpack would be potentially useful as a long-term neural health aid if it was not so expensive and did not use theobromine in their mixture. Since they do include the low-quality stimulant, however, our panel of experts was unwilling to recommend their product to our readers for any purpose.
Most of its ingredients are not able to provide any kind of short term benefits, making it highly ineffective as a study or work performance aid. The inclusion of theobromine and its high cost make it ineffective as a long term neural health aid.
As such, there are very few practical uses for Ruckpack. There are far less expensive nootropic supplements on the market that will be far more effective for the vast majority of individuals.
The nootropic supplement that has been the most effective for the widest range of people is Memotenz. Its ingredients are effective for improving mental performance in a variety of ways including boosting memory, thinking speed and accuracy, and attention span.
Many nootropics are good for either the long term or the short term, however Memotenz’s balanced ingredients blend is useful for both. Click here to see all of the ways that Memotenz has improved its users’ mental performance.
