Took over from where I left off so not a true thru-hike in a way, but most people do this trail in many small segments over years. I managed to hike another 370ish kilometres (including side trails and to pickup spots) in eleven days, not including two adjacent rest days in the middle. I got to the most northern, rugged, and beautiful sections of the trail in the last few days which was well worth the just over 900k I put in.

I was far more supported this time, being followed with a car, and only did one night packing everything in and out. Did the full thing vegan of course. I'm in a much better mood having gotten it done and am already planning more endurance adventures. Would love to get into trail running and try to take some shorter ones at speed!

Feel free to ask me any questions about how I pulled it off, thru hikes, or endurance camping stuff in general!
