Eastern Continental Trail Documentary - A 4,800 Mile Thru Hike

In 2016 I thru hiked the Eastern Continental Trail... a route of roughly 4,800 miles connecting the International Appalachian Trail, Appalachian Trail, Benton Mackaye Trail, Pinhoti Trail, Alabama Hiking Trail, Florida Trail, South Dade Greenway, and Overseas Heritage Trail together to span across an entire continent.
From Quebec, Canada all the way down to Key West, Florida. This hike took me 205 days, or 6 months and 20 days total. In the process setting an FKT (Fastest Known Time / Speed record) on the Florida Trail averaging 39 miles a day for 28 days straight. Traversing 16 states in the USA and 2 Canadian provinces, I found happyness, and furthered my love for human powered travel.
I hope you find some of that same happyness in this movie. I never intended on creating one, but as time went on I knew I absolutely had to.
I appreciate you watching, liking and subscribing, there is much more to come from me.
My next big adventure being a yo-yo (or 'round trip') of the Pacific Crest Trail, a journey on foot of 5,320 miles from Mexico to Canada, then back again.
If you would like to support me on my journey!

During this trip I carried nothing more than food, water, and ONLY 6lbs worth of gear. Within my youtube page, you can find a video detailing the items that made this trip so: • 6lb Ultralight 4,800mi...
Big thanks to the boys at www.palantepac... for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and being a constant inspiration, as well as making some bomber gear.
Big thanks to my family, big thanks to my friends, and big thanks to everyone who followed this very long walk so closely. See you soon for the next one.
