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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

      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.
