@@zone4garlicfarm come for a visit - it’s unforgettable.

@@nickthinks1 I haven't hiked the AT through there but I'm in that region several times every year. I used to kayak through Gulf Hagas every spring. Now I go there to fish Nahmakanta Lake and the nearby ponds, Pemadumcook and the Debsconeags. I also spend time on the West Branch of the Penobscot and in the Seboomook region every summer. The part of Maine between Greenville and Millinocket is like a second home to me.

Thanks for the correction. I didn't know that. Hub lift!

@@nickthinks1 you're welcome! Try adding additional weight on top, see how heavy you can go!

@@liftyzig That never occurred to me since no one else at my gym can do a 45. Haha. I'll add a little and see how that goes. Do you add weight?

@@liftyzig Just saw your 85.25 lbs lift. What?! That's nuts.

@@nickthinks1 thanks haha! I can't come close to that now, was definitely feeling strong that day!

The 100 Mile Wilderness tshirt comes from Phil. You can reach him for orders at facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057663039719&mibextid=LQQJ4d He’s also the best guide for overall help with planning and resupply.

Same thing. Solo hiking starting the 3 of July

Hey William! Good to know about the heat - I'm certainly expecting some hot temps and "heat training" has a spot in my overall training plan. Do you have any tips for people who are serving as crew members at ADU? See you in August!

@@nickthinks1 Last year we were allowed only 2 crew during the night potion since the park is closed. I am unsure if that was a COVID rule or a park rule. Every crew had a tent, in part to provide some shade from the heat. It was very easy for your crew to stand at the start/finish to add you off items, or you can step off the course and go to your own tent. The aid station was stocked really well though! Some people went all out with their set up and for the 24 hour people, it seemed to have worked really well, especially if you are planning to take a quick nap. I also suggest getting to the race early. We got there about 3 hours before and people were just starting to set up their tents and trying to get a good spot close to the step off point. My crew brought some lawn games like frisbee to keep themselves busy and even a small grill to make burgers. They kept themselves entertained. Once the sun sets, the crew has to stay in the tent area.

@@williammartin2440 This is great intel! Thanks for the insights.

Let's use some affirming language! You're willing, available, dedicated, and goal-oriented. :)

Thanks for your comment. Right on. This attempt was in mid June and the trail was full of trees. Practically an obstacle course. Lots of going over/under fallen trees or walking around them - hard to establish a rhythm. When I went back and did the East side in September the trail was in great shape - super easy to navigate. Thanks to all the volunteers who cleaned it up. I did some research on heat stroke later and wasn’t quite at that point (no headache or confusion) but I was definitely depleted for water and nutrition. Lesson learned. Next time I’ll rest longer, drink and eat more. A torso length bug net is now part of my gear since the black flies were a big factor in me not wanting to rest.
