    Trail Update: Friends, Fires and Flips

    Trail Update: Friends, Fires and Flips

    September 10, 2023

    We made it to Snoqualmie Pass, but unfortunately Mantis' right tendon was swelling because of how tight it was. We thought it best to get off trail for a few days to let her leg recover. We went into Seattle and bounced around a few spots, but spent a few days with...

    Challenge: Can You Eliminate Single-Use Plastics From a Thru-Hike?

    Challenge: Can You Eliminate Single-Use Plastics From a Thru-Hike?

    August 30, 2023

    One thing I have noticed is how much waste we create every time we resupply and over the course of the days we are eating our food and the wrapping they come in adds up fairly quickly. It's a shame that we can't find better ways to package the food we need for resupply or be able to find more grocery stores with healthier and more eco friendly options.

    PCT Trail Days

    September 22, 2023

    We immediately started seeing familiar faces once we arrived. It was a big, beautiful reunion of wonderful people. By day, we wandered around with various friends and visited all the vendors. I even got to see...

    Trail Angel Stories: Twist, Headstart, and Family

    Trail Angel Stories: Twist, Headstart, and Family

    September 21, 2023

    Our hiker friend Twist grew up in Portland, OR. He had a whole itinerary of people he wanted to see on particular weekends. Lucky for Journey Man and myself, Twist invited us to join him for a couple weekends. We first met Twist’s parents, Steve and Laurie, in Sun River. They

    Thoughts on Injury

    Thoughts on Injury

    September 21, 2023

    A couple days in to the time off trail in Seattle, I had to sit with myself and ponder the real possibility that I might not return to trail. It was such a disappointing thought. It made me mad. And sad. I didn’t want to be done hiking. I had two of the most talked about sections still left to complete—the North Cascades and the Sierra...

    Pristine Lakes & Other Finds on the CDT

    September 21, 2023

    Sometimes you find a beautiful spot but your tent doesn't quite fit. In this case, I just couldn't pass it up and wedged my tent in anyway. This beautiful lake in the Winds was such a treat. I even had a weekender out with his family come and visit for a bit, some welcome social time after a number of days hiking alone.

    Notes on the Basin

    Notes on the Basin

    September 21, 2023

    After hiking through Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Pintler Wilderness, Yellowstone National Park, the Wind River range and countless other breathtaking locations with epic vistas and natural wonders, many CDT hikers dread "the basin" in southern Wyoming. I had been hearing about it for hundreds of miles, with lots of fearmongering on...

    Scribe's Daily Warmup

    Scribe's Daily Warmup

    September 18, 2023

    With any sport or activity, it is generally a good idea to warm up your body to prepare it for what is to come and to reduce the chance of injury. Long distance backpacking is no different. Although many people just roll out of their tents and start walking each day with no stretching or warmup whatsoever, I have found that doing a little warmup routine helps wake up my muscles and...

    12 States Down, 2 More to Go

    September 06, 2023

    Near the end of Massachusetts (mile 1548) we crossed a road by a small farmhouse that provides an awesome Trail Stand stocked with cold drinks, snacks, and free Wi-Fi. A little over halfway through August we made it to Vermont and intersected with The Long Trail. Running the length of the state of Vermont, it is the...

    Challenge: Can You Eliminate Single-Use Plastics From a Thru-Hike?

    August 30, 2023

    The first item I was immediately satisfied with (surprising so, I might add) was my switch to an insulated water bottle. Regular water carries also were a treat as the fresh spring water would often still be cold when I reached camp for the evening. Doesn’t hurt to pour a few tall boys into it while leaving a gas station and be the shelter hero at the end of the day either.

    Catching the Train Into NYC

    August 25, 2023

    We only meant to stay a night or two but other groups of hikers kept showing up and pulling us back in. From there we caught the train back north, time for more life on the trail.

    How to Get Good Sleep on Trail

    September 21, 2023 7 min read

    Sleep, oh glorious sleep. It is not always easy to achieve on trail, though! When I get into camp, all I want to do is just throw down my pack and collapse in a heap, but there are many tasks to do before I can rest. The tent must be pitched, my bed made...

    Can You Eliminate All Single-Use Plastics From a Thru-Hike?

    Can You Eliminate All Single-Use Plastics From a Thru-Hike?

    August 30, 2023 6 min read

    From food wrappers to water bottles, take-out containers and utensils, single-use plastics are everywhere in our day to day lives.... Turns out: you can't even escape them out in the wilderness. While thru-hikers are typically living for months with a much smaller environmental footprint than the average American, we wanted to challenge our Ambassadors to see if they could try to eliminate all single-use plastics from their thru-hikes.
