  • Last summer, Joe "Stringbean" McConaughy attempted to set a new Fastest Known Time on the Long Trail in Vermont. To set a new overall FKT, Stringbean would need to hike the 272-mile trail in under 4 days and 12 hours. Joe had already attempted to FKT the Long Trail in 2015, but found himself underprepared. Five years later, the trail would prove just as difficult, as things would get dark in more ways than one.

    Loving the pure delirium! You are truly pushing yourself to the limits every time! I enjoy watching your FKTs. Especially the AZT, but I have a bias.

    Another great video. It brought me right back to doing the FKT on the Centennial Trail in SD. Much shorter effort but I felt a lot of the same things in my journey. Thanks for sharing. I followed the AZT videos and can’t wait to see what you guys put together there.

    • @pilotfield
      @pilotfield  3 года назад +2

      Thanks Lance! Now that this one is finished we can really get started on piecing a proper doc together for the AZT. Do you have that Centennial Trail FKT documented anywhere? Would love to check it out

      You can also get to the videos by searching my name on the FKT site. I have a few others on there as well. I just watched them again and those FKTs bring back some pretty strong emotions! I am glad you documented for Joe so others can get just a little taste of what it takes. I just started doing this stuff last year. I’m a newbie.

    Little curious why everyone at the end had such a such a.....subpar? reaction to his finish. Did Kate say to put him down? Just a bit of an awkward energy that didn't fit nor was deserving of his effort. But blah blah blah, Joe rules and PF did a bang up job of putting this lil micro doc together. One last thing I'd like to add is this lil doc showcases how difficult the terrain in the northeast is. If Joe wants a challenge, there are tons of them to do in the Whites of NH.

    What is he holding? Guessing some kind of camera mount. Can’t wrap my head around it.

    • @pilotfield
      @pilotfield  3 года назад +1

      He has a GoPro mount stuck to the top of his trekking pole with a 360 GoPro attached. You can see the top of his trekking pole in a few shots. It was a weight saving idea to use that rather than the pole GoPro designed for it

      Joe used a GoPro Max (360 camera) that he rigged to the top of his trekking pole
