On July 10th, 2022 I was section hiking the CA section L of the PCT Nobo. That morning you said hi as you flew by me like I was almost standing still and I envision a lot of AT thru hikers will get a similar experience this summer. Ever since then I have been following you off and on and you continue to inspire me to seek outside and stay healthy and active.

it might be cheap gear but it's a breath of fresh air a youtuber using gear that most people can afford without a 3rd job most youtubers try to pedestal the most expensive up to date modern gear.
-
This should be an incredible challenge, trying to do the whole trail for $1,000. Look forward to following it.
-
This is going to be an epic hike to follow. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
-
Such an exciting undertaking! As colossal as your previous journeys looking forward to the updates and progress.
-
What a great challenge! Cant wait till you begin. Thanks for letting us follow along on another adventure. Best of luck.

It’s really awesome that you are doing this! Good luck and have fun out there!
-
Can't wait to follow you along! Thanks for sharing all this, you're an awesome human being
-
Good luck, brother. Love to watch your journeys. Hope to see you on the trail in maine
-
I'm excited to follow and see how it goes. I appreciate you doing this. Good luck!
-
I'm super stoked to follow this experiment! We all don't even question, "Can he complete the hike?" I was thinking, "Maybe he's going for the FTK!" ...if you did that with this gear, on that budget, wowza 😆 The BRS will serve you well, mine's still going after 5 years. Curious about the sleeping pad. My friend got one thinking it a steal and it compressed to nothing by day 4 or 5. Hoping you have better luck with yours. Bring on the adventure!
-
Really excited to see this journey and gear review. My Lanshan2 has been amazing so I’m keen to see if your other 3F UL gear is great too. I mean, it would change the game. We’d all start buying it if you legit had a good experience on such a hardcore through hike. Love your content. Good luck and stay safe.
-
Really stoked to see this. Clearly i hope nothing fails and you're safe, but this experiment opens the gates for a lot more people. Cheers.
-
Can’t wait to follow! Best of luck Jack 🥾🥾
-
Super excited to follow along with thus challenge. Maybe we will see you on the Trail in PA. Good luck.
-
This is amazing!! Hiker boxes will definitely come in clutch!

On the 3F pack: Only the white threads are Dyneema. This was the cost effective way to include in the beginning. The rest is sil-coated nylon. Plenty good enough to hike a trail. Not as water proof as you’re hoping.

Oddly, within the past few months I bought a bunch of the same equipment as you from Ali express. the pad, a 2ul tent, the quilt, the pot and stove, the down jacket, the nite core headlamp. Its pretty bizarre. I used it all on two overnighters and have been happy with everything. subscribed so I can see how the gear I bought holds up to abuse. I've been eyeballing that backpack too but didn't buy it cause I already have a similar lightweight pack. Thanks
-
Bro you are unreal!!!! Cant wait to cheer you on, brother.
