What, and give up all those tourist dollars $$$$...
The Boston Globe has an article with a few more details about Jordan's past....
He sure does look happy and not too emaciated for such a long grueling journey. Congrats to Karel :clap
I Don't know if this was mentioned before or not but but Karel's name is misspelled in the title of this thread. His last name is spelled Sabbe not Saabe and if you google his real name there are...
I doubt it. Simply having sponsors support a hike shouldn't prevent someone from ascending Katahdin. Could you show which rule you're referring to that he would be breaking?...
I'm not saying it wasn't necessary, it's just kinda sad every time they put down a nuisance bear, gator or whatever.

I didn't see this posted anywhere. Too bad they had to put the cat down.
At least Scott had the gonads to make real time tracking available to everyone unlike all the other FKT attempters.

Saw a few news articles recently about this fellow. I never heard of him but he seemed to have...
As far a stinky clothes go, I saw that Lysol now makes a laundry sanitizer so I thought I'd give it a try mostly for my gym clothes cuze who knows what kind of funky stuff you might pick up in a...
This is kinda what I do. When I take a day hike on the FL Trail in the Ocala Forrest I like to step off the trail to have lunch and set up a little mini camp for the afternoon. Before I step off the...
I was looking at this link and I now see where KGW.com has updated their article because of all the skepticism surrounding Stacey's hike. Here's the link...
Congrats to Joey :clap
According to my calculation, Joey finished 5 days 8 hrs ahead of Anish's self-supported record and 9 days 9 hrs 50 min ahead of Matt Kirk's record. An amazing feet to say the...
For those who doubt Joe could have completed the AT in just 45 days + just look at this video. He finished 5th in the grueling 100k (62.1 mi) with 12,000' elevation gain Gorge Falls in 9hr 43 min....
I bet he ran 50% of the time or at least every chance he got. I believe Jen said when she set the supported record she ran very little, maybe 5% of the time.
By running I meant not walking....
Thanks Matt & JB
Yeah, one set of rules, easy to find, would be good. And making the documentation public after completion of a FKT should be one of those rules. Also, I'd like to see that...
Joe gives this interview to the Washington Post...
Thank you Peter. Since you're an administrator on the FKT Website I'll consider your statement as the one that counts.
I do have a question for you or anyone else who wishes to chime in. On your...
Yogying and trail magic are not the same thing IMO. I think yogying would be a gray area.
There's always been a small part of me that doesn't take a FKT too seriously and it's because they don't...
An interesting read> "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"
Joe appears to have dotted his I's and crossed T's so far as far as documentation goes but we haven't seen everything...
Congrats to Stringbean. What an outstanding accomplishment! :jump:jump:clap
What I'd like to know is where his resupply points were. He must of had this planned out pretty well.
Congrats again.
I hope we're not going to see another champagne gate. Joe had to have been aware what happen with Scott J.
Lookin at the tracking map Camps is still movin along pretty well. He's in southern PA and about 2 days ahead of Anish's record. I thought he might bail back at Swatara Gap but I guess he recovered...
Thaks Quahog13, I missed that.
Nice Map, I certainly appreciate the work you and others put into it and I do look at it. To be honest though, it doesn't compare to real time tracking.
...
All I can say is I sure do miss the real time live tracking being public like the way Scott Jurek did it without issues. I know his FKT was a supported one but I think a guy attempting a unsupported...
