Sounds like he could be starting as early as today?
I'm glad he did this video at least. Doing more of a stealth trip this time with less promotion.
Hopefully he provides some sort of updates, they are fun to follow. Even if they are just 20 second videos each day like Matt Kirk did on his record hike.
Good Luck Karl, i'm pullin for ya!
Of note, at the 17 minute mark Lone Wolf gets a nice plug, best moment of Karl's 08 hike.Originally Posted by Rasputen
Good interview/discussion, enjoyed the glimpse into sport. Good luck Karl.
yup. got him some medicine
it all depends on how lucky he gets with the weather.
I love it when somebody says the WANT to break a record.
Pain is a by-product of a good time.
Really enjoyed the video and wish him the best. Seems like he has a very solid plan and realistic expectations of the difficulties ahead. Hope he does well. Always fun to see one of the greats going for a record.
Good luck to Karl- likely on trail by now....
From the Video sounds like there won't be much news until he gets going, so if anyone finds anything kindly pass it along.
I heard him say he wanted to give it a go under the radar. NO Blog, no circus. Agree with Lone Wolf. The support team is the key to hike out set up a camp, refuel him and let him loose. Plus they have to be flexable enough if he wants to stretch it out or slow it down. And where to hook up at those times. I think he needs a multitime thru hiker on his team.
ummmm, no. remember matt
Good Luck Speed goat!
i hope you break the record, stay safe & have fun :-)
Yar, poor choice of words.
I woulda never found that Irunfar interview. That's all I mean. As I see nothin on Karl's site, or a convinient Wiki/webpage like Matt's to get updates- if somebody comes across an interview, or other obviously public info- please kindly pass it along.
Otherwise as pappy says; leave the fella alone.
Any word on Karl?
I know he wants to be left alone for the first part of his journey but any update on pace would be nice.
Just a guess-
He may not have actually been out that long. His race was 7/19 and quite a drive from there to Maine even if he packed up and left the next day and had no post race duties (which I doubt)
Wouldn't be to shocked to find he didn't start until the beginning of the month.
Nice up there now I believe- but some pretty nasty crap blew through not long ago. If it was me I'd take a week and let things dry out before I took off.
Realistic best start- 7/26
Not that unlikely- he's been on the trail a week or less.
Anxious to hear something myself- but good for him. Up to the minute reports are not required.
yup................
LOL, did you get promoted to the head of the medical team?
"In many accidents a stimulant is required. Don't carry whiskey- if you don't drink it up yourself the first time you feel bad, then someone will surely steal it. For the camp medical kit, get a bottle of pure grain alcohol. Put a fake label on it- "Antiseptic-Poison"- with a death's-head that even a savage will understand."
Uncle Horace
huh? i don't get it. but i know more than you
get it now?
The quote is from Kephart's chapter on first aid. Twasn't that obtuse a reference...
If the news ain't your's to share- quite understandable.
If not, the news will come in time- keep it in yer treasure box fer now if you wish.
Hope all is well with the attempt, best of luck to Karl.
Take care pappy.
