Thanks 👍
Hey, you're gonna do the full attempt next time. Stuff happens. If it's any consolation, you have fast tracked people like myself on hiking. Lots of stuff you already know is you tube gold for a novice. You are making a positive impact on the world. I believe all young people would benefit greatly if thru hiking was part of physical education in school. When you learn, aside from the obvious: self reliance, ability to achieve goals, the value of minimalist nature, immersing your self in nature....there are so many more benefits.
Nice work Juice. I am also going for FKT on the Centennial Trail in SD next week. I am eating much of the same thins you are. I am taking 10,000 calories on my ATTEMPT. I hope to best what your crew did in May. I scoured the route by hiking it in June in 5.5 days and now I’m going for FKT. I wish u the best. I hope the altitude doesn’t cause you to many problems in CO. Lance Smith/SD
Lance Smith That’s awesome Lance! Best of Luck! The Centennial is such a great trail.
Juice Hikes
Set the New FKT. 58 hr 22 min. Sorry to see the Colorado trail did go as expected.
@@lancesmith1970 awesome! Totally crushed it!
FYI. I only held the record for 4 days. Now it’s 54 hr 34 min. 2 guys that just hiked CT in Colorado did it faster. I am pretty sure I will give it another try. I’ve thought if many ways I can go faster and be more efficient.
It's funny that you pointed out that it looks like a middle schooler picked the food because I was thinking the same thing.
I think you don’t have a stove- do you just mix the dried coffee in your water and drink cold?
You're right, no stove on this trip. Just dump in the instant espresso in cold water and give it a shake!
Are you thinking of another attempt soon? :D
Not the Colorado trail this year but I may attempt another trail if everything works out.
Be sure to bring some chicken broth in case things get crazy. Good luck buddy
Matt Rose I’ll try not to puke my guts out, but if I do I’ll be thinking about ya!
@@juicehikes5436 just don't get too excited and you'll be fine.
Matt Rose, looks like you offered excellent advice. Some additional salt in an easy to absorb form.
That shiz would kill me.
Nuun tablets won’t fit into your smart water bottle. Probably too late now though. Hope it went well.
They are scored down the middle and really easy to break in half. You still have to push a bit to get them in but they will fit.
As Scott mentioned, they fit when you break them in half!
Yo, hows it going?
I looked at the gps track for the trip and it only showed 4 hours of tracking on august 16 th, and then nothing, which doesn't seem encouraging.
Unfortunately things didn't go as planned. It was 95 degrees on my day one and my stomach turned on me at about mile 20. I spent the rest of the day throwing up but still got in close to 50 miles. I was hoping to rebound on day 2 but I immediately started throwing up again. Without any calories or water the fatigue set in and I was only able to get in around 36 miles day 2. I tried again on day 3 but immediately realized that the fatigue was just too much to put in 50 mile days. I hiked the 27 miles to Breckenridge and called it at mile 104.
Spent the night at a B&B and got some pizza. Felt great the next day and continued on just not at record pace. I ran into Darwin and ended up hiking the next 150 miles or so with him. Great trip overall but no FKT this time. Thanks for following along!
great that you were able to alter plans, and get something out of it.
Well I learned that Neemor has some crazy ass weird music videos, and for some reason John Z seams to pal around with that guy a lot. Have a good one 👍
New title: "Heavy backpacking food"
Heavy because there is so much of it but it's some of the lightest calorie/ounce food out there.
BUS-TEL-O ... not bestillo....
Haha, sticklers for everything! I actually figured that out on the CT
@@juicehikes5436 I'm sorry I couldn't educate you earlier ... haha
Haha, could have saved me a lot of trouble!
10 days of that diet? Rather be on a desert island eating coconuts and fish.
Haha! It was just temporary and definitely made me feel like I was 12 again. Normally I eat pretty healthy.
Candy and junk food? WTF?
Eat what the body craves! Not my normal food setup but worked out pretty well for an FKT, I prefer a hot dinner for sure.
@@juicehikes5436 That's a horrible concept. The body "craves" alcohol, drugs, donuts and all manner of things that are destructive to the body.
The title of the video is "Backpacking Food." There's a difference between packing food for a short backpacking trip and a lifestyle choice in what you consistently put in your body. In my regular life, I eat very healthy but when looking into foods that are the highest calorie per ounce foods for something like a longer endurance event the options are typically not as healthy. The comment "Eat what the body craves" wasn't meant to be a lifestyle decision.
@@juicehikes5436 I fully understand what you are saying, but It doesn't work like that.
@@JK-vc7ie apparently it does.
