This is what a thru hike is really like, from the appalachian trail, to the pacific crest these are my experiences and those that I've seen others go through. Ya'll want to talk about everything that's good and wonderful... but anyone whos done it knows it's not always, and not usually like that.
Filmed on the AT, PCT, International appalachian trail, pinhoti trail, benton mackaye trail, florida trail, pacific northwest trail, uinta highline trail, ocean to lake trail, sheltowee trace trail, and i'm sure others I'm forgetting!
Sometimes there are hard times when you're wet, when the climb is brutal, when your funds are running dry. try and remember that you love doing this, that you chose to do this, the friends you make will be forever, and it will always be a memory you look fondly back upon.
Sure, the vast majority of people who attempt a thru hike quit. Don't let that be you. Prepare as hard as you can, hike with determination, make smart decision for your longevity. This beast of a long distance hike you're taking on, regardless of the trail, is going to throw curveballs at you.
Your ultralight gear and your trail runners are a good start but it's going to take a whole lot of will power. from people quitting within the first hours of their hike, to people quitting with less than 100 miles to go... i've seen it happen!
The bad times are bad, just get through them the best you can and you will be rewarded with the most amazing experience of your life, i can promise that.
Thanks to all the amazing trail angels that have helped me over the years, and all of the amazing gear companies that have made any of this possible. I don't currently have a sponsor but pa'lante packs, enlightened equipment, and zpacks are always at the top of my list when looking for something new. And a big thanks to all of you for watching, I make these videos out of love, and if it weren't for those watching it wouldn't nearly be as fun.
Goodluck on your travels, and always feel free to drop me a line. Hope to meet you all on the trails someday.
