The Arizona Trail is one of the most scenic and challenging routes in the U.S. At 800 miles-long and with over 100,000 feet of elevation gain, it takes most thru-hikers 6-8 weeks to complete. Last Spring, Joe McConaughy tried to hike it in just 12 days. With the help of a support crew made up of family and friends, Joe faces the physical and emotional peaks and valleys on one of the United States' premiere long trails.

The self supported time is crazy, can't even imagine the pain that the dude went through.

@pilotfield Год назад

It's really impressive. Thanks for watching!

@hugmynutus Год назад

It is on youtube, the guy filmed it with a GoPro, it is crazy.

@larsthorwald3338 5 месяцев назад

The really impressive thing is that he's chasing records in a sport that no one knows about and one that will likely remain obscure into the future. So, apart from the adulation of friends, family, and a small community of eccentrics, there's basically no payoff.

@levisimon512 3 месяца назад

Super true

@Onewholovesrock Месяц назад

Of course. There’s a lot easier ways to gain adulation from others. These folks aren’t doing this for adulation from others.

This popped up after watching some Barkley Marathon docs, and it did not disappoint. I couldn’t help but tear up and feel bad for Joe when he said “I’m done,” before heading out the next morning through the 4ft snow. Such a great achievement to say the least. Congrats to you and the crew.

@pilotfield 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, Eric! I'm stoked that you checked out both. And yea that was a gnarly night. We were all relieved the next morning when he decided to get back out there

"All that was left... was the Grand Canyon." I laughed out loud. Amazing effort by Stringbean + crew, and beautiful film to boot.

Digging deep like that is harder than 99% of the population can imagine. Great job Joe. Your also lucky to have so much support.

@jackmurphy4958 Год назад

Joe & Witt & Katie are the baddest baddies to ever run a trail!

@joemcconaughy6745 Год назад

And Crash!! And you have the baddest sax music to ever grace a desert trails!

@lbanderson40 10 месяцев назад

What an intense runner, wife, entire crew. Did he just use every inch of his heart, soul , physical and PRIDE.!!!! U go dude!

@csn583 Год назад

Having and maintaining that sense of humor is so critical and so impressive. I can usually stay upbeat through anything but on my hardest adventures I've seen my mind turn dark. Needless to say they were nothing like this incredible feat! I'm sure the crew was critical to that, but he's individually got something solid way down deep.

@pilotfield Год назад

It's always amazing to witness. Thanks for taking the time to watch, CSN!

@jamessherrell904 Год назад

Yall are insane. Very impressed. That is some intense dedication, Joe. Great job buddy.

@pilotfield Год назад

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, James!

@donphelps6287 Год назад

And to think Joe led trips for Skurka Adventures just a couple of weeks later where I was privileged to explore the Grand Staircase with Joe, Christy and our great crew! Stud! I’d be stoked to finish in 6 weeks! The video is not only a testament to Joe’s grit, but to the power of community and the love of friends and family. To say “well done” is an understatement!

@pilotfield Год назад

Thanks for watching, Don! The guy doesn't stop

@joemcconaughy6745 Год назад

10 days later 😄

@adventuresofbink Год назад

What a beautiful story! I remember following along when it was happening, hoping he’d give it that last push. I’m amazed by his drive, dedication and silliness. I think the support, rapport and relationship with Witt is great to watch; Katie’s support is a selfless example of how partners can be there for one another.

@pilotfield Год назад

Thanks for watching, Bink! Katie and Witt are the best

@miketurner4610 Год назад

Incredible, I was on the edge of tears all the way. Huge Congrats Joe

@pilotfield Год назад

Appreciate you watching, Mike!

@cincinnattydaddy4105 Год назад

Tears here, hate seeing people suffer but seeing them succeed through what seems like impossible circumstances is very uplifting.

Watching after hearing him on Billy’s podcast today. Haven’t run anything in five years but listening to Billy and watching this and other videos about the Mammoth Trail Fest think I’m ready to sign up and get back to running.

@pilotfield Год назад

Hell yea. Thanks for watching, Clay!

@frankly.benjamin Год назад

Amazing work, Joe! And awesome storytelling Pilot Field! That shot of descending into the Grand Canyon at 25:15 as Jack's rhythm guitar kicks in was absolutely phenomenal.

@pilotfield Год назад

Thanks Ben!! Wish you could have made it out for a few days like you did on the PCT

@jackmurphy4958 Год назад

Thank you, Ben! At that moment, it's my boy Andrew Kothen on the guitar. He created the soundtrack with me and came up with that perfect piece!

@gmemo4449 Год назад

Well done Joe and what an accomplishment and kudos to your crew for their support and strength in getting you through it. Very inspiring!

@pilotfield Год назад

Thank you for watching, Guil!

@lancesmith1970 Год назад

Pilot Field-Your commitment to your craft and your friend is special. It’s a grand adventure, this LIFE we choose to live. I’m so glad you are able to document some great moments that we can all enjoy and learn how to be better humans. Keep at it! I’m sure there will be more stories to share to keep inspiring us!

@pilotfield Год назад

Thank you for watching and for such a kind comment, Lance! There will be more to come for sure

@sasquatchrosefarts Год назад

@@pilotfield tell your friends... In the last few decades, , they invented this thing called the internet. And telephones. And you can call people and check snow reports. I'm confused how this wasn't done. But the film was good.

@pilotfield Год назад

@@sasquatchrosefarts Thanks for taking the time to watch! We didn't dive too much into it in the doc, and it was definitely a bit of an oversight, but we were checking snow reports all trip and they reported the North Rim as clear. Our big mistake was not calling someone on the ground and double checking as you said. Ironically, friends reached out to us as we got close to tell us there would be snow, but we didn't have cell service when the messages came in and didn't get the messages until Joe was already off trail. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment!

@leewellstead2305 5 месяцев назад

This is a absolutely awesome FKT. Truly inspiring

@MomWentBackpacking Год назад

Loved this documentary with the BTS footage. Watched your vids as he was completing this, and this documentary shows just how much planning, commitment, and tenacity a FKT is comprised of. Excellent footage! And Joe and his crew are top notch!

@pilotfield Год назад

Thanks for following along then and now! We really appreciate it

@mikes7654 5 месяцев назад

Incredible video 😃👍🏃‍♂️. Congratulations Joe and crew.

@joedavis2293 Год назад

First off, amazing perseverance and grit....the likes of which very few people posses. Joe is in a league of his own when it comes to that. In planning this FKT, did you guys look into the snow conditions around the North Rim? It seems as if the team was a bit surprised at the amount of snow, and the time it would take to cover the miles in those conditions. To go 700 miles only to be stopped by the snow would've been heartbreaking. Anyway, loved the movie. Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to be part of the journey.

@pilotfield Год назад

Thanks for watching and the kind comment, Joe! Stringbean could probably answer better, but we always knew snow might be an issue. As we got closer to the North Rim we were checking snow maps that said the snow around the North Rim had pretty much cleared up. We were able to piece together later why those forecasts weren't accurate, but day of, we were pretty shocked.

@kimalexander4187 Год назад

I have watched two times and really enjoy all the work put into this presentation and the FKT, wow tks so much

@adrianenglish3441 Год назад

Wow. What amazing effort. When all is said and done it's the athletes heart that gets him through. But without the crew to encourage, cajole and nurse that heart along the way these things just could not be done. Congrats to all and a beautiful film.

The viewer is truly gripped by the human struggle but also awestruck at the incredible beauty of the AZT. Joe, you are an incredible inspiration to young and old alike! I don't know how you do this, but it's ungodly impressive and super motivational! Keep up the outstanding work and take care of yourself too! FOS

@rachelwierenga4723 5 месяцев назад

That is wildly impressive. I ran my first trail 50k last year, and that nearly broke me. I can't fathom 800 miles in 13 days!

@wetqerterterqyer Год назад

Absolute tank

@pilotfield Год назад

For real. Thanks for watching, Arthur!

@jeffreycarman2185 5 месяцев назад

This is a serious feat of trail endurance, no doubt. But the fact that someone did this trail in just two days more time but self-supported is frankly a much more impressive feat. Having to haul all your gear and supplies on a trail is a completely different thing than sleeping in a camper each night and having your meals prepared for you. Either way, (sleeping in a camper each night or self-supported) doing 60-70 miles on the trail every day is beyond comprehension.

@jameslopez958 7 месяцев назад

@jannismahler2518 Год назад

Awesome documentary and much respect! Remember the old record was self supported tho

@pilotfield Год назад

Thanks for watching and for the comment, Jannis!

@fununderthesun3209 6 месяцев назад

This is badass but how the guy that did it self-supported is on a whole other level. How is it even possible somebody would carry all their own supplies and do it alone and be less than 2 days behind this well oiled support team😲

@markfitzsimmons7544 Год назад

@pilotfield 10 месяцев назад

So stoked that you checked this out after the Barkley doc! Thanks for watching both. And yea, what a guy indeed

@mtpstv94 Год назад

260 miles in 13 days is considered to be fast and time that only the fastest hikers are capable of. 800 miles in 13 days? Haven't watched this yet, but... I don't know that is even possible. If it is that is absurd. The question is: how many ankles has this guy sprained?

@pilotfield Год назад

Hope you check it out, Chris!

@MerpTacoz Год назад

Could you bring snow snoes next time to prevent post holing?

@juliansecomb3703 Год назад

I used to live with Joe's brother Will back in the day. I wonder why they didn't do this in October or November before the snow has started to build up.

@pilotfield Год назад

Hey Julian! I think the primary reason was just work and life. Spring was when Joe and Katie could make it work.
