Everything Hurts and I'm Running Out of Food

By day 10 I was hiking in sandals, rationing my last food, lost in the dark, and for the first time on this whole trail, I thought about quitting. This is days 9 and 10, solo through the Bob Marshall Wilderness, one of the most remote and demanding stretches of the CDT. Day 9 had a real highlight: the Chinese Wall, a cliff that runs for miles, plus a surprise reunion with someone from a past hike. But day 10 unraveled. My feet were wrecked so I switched to sandals, I ran low on food, took a wrong trail, and ended up night hiking across rough terrain before I finally found a flat spot to camp. It was the closest I've come to asking myself why I'm out here. If you like these videos and would like to support a story / new shoe fund: https://buymeacoffee.com/the.ambassador I've already thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail. The CDT is the third and last of the three, and finishing it is the Triple Crown.
