20 Miles to SAFETY: Injured while Hiking ALONE in the Wilderness | Cranberry Lake 50, Adirondacks

Unfortunetly two weeks later and I'm still sidelined with the foot injury. It is getting better but very slowly. Thanks for your support everybody!

I know exactly how you felt. In 2015 I rolled an ankle on the GR5 in the French Alps and had to hike about 15 km to the next town; most of which was down a very large mountain. By the time I got to the town campsite the pain had radiated all the way up to my knee, and I was in tears. I took 2 zero days and hobbled into town to get an ankle support from the pharmacy, then pushed on. I managed to go the week and a half to Nice, France but couldn't get to my final destination of Malaga Spain because of the injury. It was an epic trip with only the one incident.

Hey Kyle. As a sports medicine doctor and a fellow injured hiker, I hope things are getting better. Hope the running didn't set you up for a stress fracture, but I would think you would have noticed something towards the end of your running program. Two weeks and still problems means see a reputable orthopedic doc to be safe.

It happens to the best of us. While on my thru-hike of the tahoe rim trail last week, 100 miles in i pulled a muscle in my lower back and i had to pull off trail and head home. Keep strong. Shit happens

Awesome video thanks for posting and sharing your trip!

Great tunes, great video. Digging this format! 👍

Dang man, sorry to hear about this! Good luck with your recovery!

Sick trip, thanks for toughing it out and sharing!

Thanks for this video, Kyle, especially in light of the pain you were experiencing when you made it. I'm a native and lifelong resident of upstate NY and it was wonderful to see our own wilderness featured in one of your videos. You did it full justice and the camera made it possible for me to see it through a different perspective. As I write this, it's late springtime here and the Dacks are calling.

That intro segment hit me hard, tbh. That exact same thing happened to me last year. I planned on hiking the tallest peak in Southern California (San Gorgonio), for Father's Day; and the first half of it went incredibly well, but on the way down, somehow, I injured both of my knees terribly. I ended up limping for about 9 miles down the mountain (It took around 6 hours). Over a year later, and my knees are still not the same, I need knee braces whenever I go hiking now. But hey, I succeeded! Hahaha

You have a great format an great attitude. Love your videos

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Great videos. Keep it up your going a long way brother!!!!!!

Wishing you all the best, and thanks for a great video. I'm heading up to the Northwest corner of the Adirondacks tomorrow morning for hiking and fishing.

When the trip ain’t fun anymore and you just wanna go home already been there

I loved this video. Typical KHH humor but also showcases your talent at making great quality content.

Brings back so many memories of my cranberry 50 ultra. What a miserably painful experience lol. We had so many similarities with trail conditions. Except I did the Beaverdam section in the middle of the night and it was mega hard to follow. Great vlog Kyle! I enjoyed watching you suffer like I did 😂😂. Oh and, I lost all 10 of my toenails and had an injury in my shin that prevented me from hiking for two months afterwards.. And many of my friends who did the ultra also had first time unexplainable injuries.

My buddy had a similar experience on the Loyalsok Trail in PA. We had to cut it short, but had to hike 8+ miles in rough terrain to get to a place where we could get a ride back to the truck. Get that foot looked at . I hope you feel better.

That lakeside campsite was cool

Great video bro. Congrats on finishing strong.
