of five long-distance hiking trails and a self-made segment through the Sonoran and Mojave deserts. Andy is hiking to promote the “less is more” lifestyle and to draw attention to the effects of global warming on America’s most iconic wild lands. He began his hike at Grandview Point on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon; he expects to complete his loop in the same spot approximately 7 months later. … Andrew Andy Skurka Great Western Loop GoLite Timberland Hiking Camping Trail Running Fast …

He was moving pretty fast. I wonder how light he got his pack.
I’ll never go hiking without a filter. I guess he want the extra protein in his water. He doesn’t seem to eat anything except GORP.
Hope to see more update.

Skurka hikes pretty fast. Look at how little time it took him to blow through his A.T. thru-hike. I have a lot of respect for Andy, but I’m more of a “take the time to smell the roses” kind of a hiker. I can’t imagine taking less than 3 months to do the A.T. thru-hike; I mean, hiking isn’t a competitive sport.

as a thru-hiker i say go, getting lost in foot placement is the best mindset one can be in, get lost in your head.
