Old Man and the CDT
Добавлен 19 апр 2020
I am Mike Current, 61-years-old, and retired military. I served for over 30 years in the US Army.
After retirement, I opened two small businesses. But after a few years, I sold both businesses because they were taking time away from pursuing personal goals, like hiking and sailing.
I hiked the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) in 2020 and Appalachian Trail (AT) in 2022. I vlogged (video journaled) my experiences under "Old Man and the PCT" and "Old Man and the AT", respectively.
I sailed around the Chesapeake Bay in my Tayana 37 sailboat over the summer of 2023 and vlogged the experience under the RUclips channel "Old Man and the Sea."
I intend to hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) in 2024 and will vlog my experience. Follow me under "Old Man and the CDT."
I do not monetize my videos in any manner. However, if you would like to contribute in helping veterans thru-hike as a form of therapy for PTSD, please consider donating to Warrior Expeditions at warriorexpeditions.org/

Day 114: Which Way to Water? / CDT Thru-hike 2024
Th end of Wyoming! Thanks for all that footage as you made your way through the state--gave me a much better picture of what Wyoming looks like. Excited for Idaho (where I have been a bit), and Montana!
Old Faithful looked super-impressive. But all those people! Geez! That would freak me out.
100 days! You are such an inspiration. Most I have ever done is 12 (Alaska), and the most mileage in one day I have done is 18! (Olympic NP). Really impressive in Yellowstone. I had never even heard of Lone Star geyser.
Happy Veterans Day, Energizer!
Wow, are you wearing a 10-15 lb weight vest? Even during your sprints? So, for 12 mile at zone 2 what is your time. 1.5 hrs?
Hot tub and emergency snacks--well done!
So excited to see your footage of Yellowstone. Have never been there.
Wolves! Horses! Mules! Deer! Frogs! beautiful section too. Someday hope to see a wolf.
Very pretty section. Is that a patch on the tent? Such a great growing tramily.
You really do have an incredible trail family. It is very obvious through all the episodes that you are hiking the miles and meeting all the challenges so well together. I hope I have a tramily as tight as that when my time comes.
Mike, my sincerest congratulations on your PCT Thru Hike. I would also like you to know, I have watched every video of your CDT, AT, and PCT hikes. Thank you for taking me on your journeys.
I agree. South to north is the proper thru hike. This is based on the scenery.
Incredible views! Great progress.
+/- 750 feet per mile is tough!
Those pine lined shores are stellar!
Day 100!! Congratulations!
Averaging 50+ miles every two days is incredible!
1900 miles 💪😎👍
OR/CA 💪😎👍!!
California is huge!!
Having your family on sections is really nice.
Halfway on day 59 💪😎✊🏁!!
The views from up top are spectacular!
Those random bridges are always welcome!
Good trail equals good miles!
Great view of Lake Tahoe!!
Those mosquitoes are relentless!
Great progress Mike!!
The view from Muir Hut was incredible!!
Haven't carried bear spray since my trip to Arctic--but soon we will need it in the North Cascades if the re-introduction goes as planned (2025-26). Have been meaning to buy UR Sacks for a long time.
Your footage of the Winds is just amazing. Even more impressive area than I was expecting.
I can’t wear zero drop shoes because of an old Achilles injury. I love their wide foot box but my Achilles does not do well. Does anyone know of a wide foot box that is more conventional in heal lift? Thanks
Forester Pass is intimidatingly beautiful!!
I was finally able to catch up! Awesome! Congratulations on an incredible achievement! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed your videos! They’ve been so helpful to me in planning my own CDT adventure! LOVE the ending!
Congratulations on completing the desert section!
Incredible progress! I can't imagine carrying 10 days of resupply.
Congrats on Baden Powell and 400 miles!!
Love the marmots--and you have so many trail mates! What amazing scenery! Truly beyond words.
Mike, I’m missing your videos! Can we get a life update?!
You're making huge daily mileage!
Hey Mike - Do you plan on doing an epilogue? Would be cool to hear your reflections a month or more after this has sunk in, including how your gear and other decisions panned out. Seems like you made all the right decisions with this adventure!
Mike--Exciting to see you back in the high country. Interested to see how you navigate grizzly country. The North Cascades here in WA will be grizzly country again starting in 2025 if all goes according to plan.
Awesome hike Mike!!
Your CV one niner commentary in the previous video was stop on Mike!
Monica Spring
Loved that footage of the prairie as you approached the mountains---finishing the Great Basin! Anxious to see the Winds--have read so much about them.
Excellent video! I’m wondering how the tent worked for you on the CDT and if you still recommend it. I’m thinking about buying it for my CDT hike. Also, will you be doing a post trail gear review video?
My Duplex worked great. I did have to sew one zipper shut and sew a new zipper in on the other side (See zero day in Pie Town episode). But, after all, the tent was on its third Thru-hike. I used the same tent on the PCT and AT. The fabric held up well.
@@oldmanandtheat3093 Awesome! Thank you so much. I used a Big Agnes Tigerwall on the AT and PCT. It worked great but I am trying to lighten my load for the CDT.
That Texas Pass is no joke!
Congratulations Mike!! I've watched every step. People "claim" the AT is an easy walk through the woods. That statement couldn't be further from the truth! What a great accomplishment, and success. I appreciate every moment of your journey.
The Birches!!
