- After recovering from injury, will my foot hold out as I take to the trail again?!?! Follow me from Lordsburg, NM to Silver City, NM and find out.

As an European, I'm always amazed by New World's nature. We have few similar 'spots', but nothing in comparison to 'your' scale! It's so big, vast and beautiful! Thank you so much for capturing and sharing that amazing beauty !! I had fracture of the same foot bone (actually heard a crack). It's healing really, really long. So be safe, take care and enjoy every minute on trail :)
Enjoyed the video. That was Jacks peak you were on in the burro mountains. Silver city was my home town. The mine you passed was Tyrone copper mine. No not a pretty site but if not for it or all the others you would not be making videos or I watching them. My dad worked there for twenty five years and I one when I was first out of school. Trek on brother.
Glad to see you back on the trail. You were smart to listen to your body in time rather than push on and make the injury worse. 'A stitch in time' and all that. I know it would give me a really hard time to be so full of eager energy to get out there and hike and enjoy it all and instead have to be patient and nerve wrecked worrying if the injury would heal in time.
So good to see you back on the trail. I love the new perspectives you have put in this video!
Fantastic landscape. Glad your feet (especially the right foot) are ready to be back on the trail. The water sources let me thank god for waterfilters. And Silver City sounds to me like adventure, saloons, whiskey and peacemakers from the wild, wild west. Wish you lots of fun while you're hiking. I think you could be smiling a bit more, like you did on the AT. All the best for you, Christian
glad to see you back out on the trail Joe, looking forward to man more videos
Happy you're feeling better. Crossing fingers u stay that way. Keep the vids and updates coming. Always looking out for your posts. :)
Good to see you healthy and back on the trail.
Happy to see you back on your feets! It is rare to see the desert in bloom. I'm glad you stop to look at the critters and crawlers too. Makes me miss the southwestern desert.
Happy to see you back on your feet bud, have fun and be safe.
Great suspense with your foot but damn I hope she gets better and holds up. You did a good job with different shots on this video. I really loved the shot with you walking past the camera and doing a funny turn around back at the camera. I laughed so hard, thanks for that. Onward to Canada my friend!

Nice video. And nice to see you hiking again! You were gone so long that I thought you may have bailed.
Really glad your foot is doing OK... That was a close one. Weird "trail". What there is of it. I wonder how many people do this trail per year. Something for me to look up. Nothing like the PCT or the AT. You will most likely be alone much more than the others. Good luck and thanks for the great vids.
Hey Apache! Glad to see you back on foot. Very scary how serious that was. I hope it's all good now, just keep your eye on it.
The hike out there seems quite and lonely. I'm glad you're finding water and enjoy seeing what you see on the trail. Thank you.
Great to see you back on the trail. Take care of that foot. Keep eating the pop tarts and you should be good. Thanks for sharing. Keep hiking!
Awesome footage. I plugged in my laptop to my HD TV in the living room. It looks great, very sharp looking HD format. This is one hard core trail. Keep on trucking.
Another great video! Keep em coming!
Thanks for the update! I Stay healthy and keep up the creative shots. Can't wait to see where the trail takes you next!
Whoot whoot! Back on the trail! Hope your feet stays great and happy trails Joe! Your video recording technique seems to get better with each episode
Glad to see your back on the trail!
Still icing after 12+ days? Icing is for immediate post trauma swelling prevention. After that, basically the first 24 hours, heat is the treatment to facilitate healing. Of course all of that only applies to a soft tissue injury. If it is bone, as you thought, heat is still good, but only resting it, and probably casting it, will allow it to heal completely.
Another amazing video! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! it gets better as you head to Colorado!
Really glad to find your post. I was wondering what had happened to you. I'll be thinking good thoughts about your feet.
its good to see you kept with it even w/ the injury.... and Steinbeck... my favorite author... of mice and men at that... great choice! now you just need to move on the grapes of wrath!
Glad you're feeling better and that you're back on the trail! By the way, I'm curious about how you like that Outdoor Research hat - we sell them at the place I work at and one of my coworkers thinks that they're silly but they look plenty useful to me. I didn't realize that you could fasten them under your chin like you've been doing.
So happy for you that your foot feels better! I know 12 days in a motel room had to be pure hell. Some really beautiful cacti & lizards plus the views are just Amazing! Have you seen any other CDT'ers yet? Happy hiking! peace
I have. They are few and far between but some of us are Silver City now. Most are ahead I think.
Glad you're back on the trail. You were very smart taking all those zeros to heal up. Great video work, a big difference from the videos AT.
Huzzah! Good health and good Hiking! Be sure and let us know how we can help you out when push comes to shove on your budget.
Forgot to mention. That is some pretty country you're seeing. When you get up north of Colorado and you hit the dead-pan flats in Wyoming, the prickly pears get really small and hard to see in the sage. I don't know if it is a different species or just shortened by the wind by even worse winds, but it is rough stuff.
So congrats on getting back out on the trail. Question: what is navigation like? Meaning, how do you get from point to point? Trail, markings, signs, compass? What's it like?
Awesome stuff, glad your foot is all healed up. How is this trail comparing the the AT and PCT in terms of foot traffic? Lot less people?
Good to see you back on your feet. Not exactly the kind of "break in" one wants on the trail. Best of luck as you continue north.
Man I thought you had the feet of steel.. That's exactly what happened to me last summer on my hike. It felt like me feet were broken.
Glad to see you're back on trail. I'm in Abq, so if you could use an angel at Pie Town or Grants hit me up!
how come you do not use a makeshift wind guard on your camera? Just curious! Stay strong and happy hiking!
rough start. glad you are able to hole up and rest without having to cancel. Silver City!
Glad to see you are back on the trail. Looks like you captured a good video of those ants, which is us back in corporate america right now! What is the condition of the trail? How much bushwhacking or orienteering are you having to do? Looks like it's clear in some parts but not in others. Keep up the good work.
I'd say 70% of the trail so far has been cross country. Not necessarily bushwacking, since the desert is pretty sparse, but there is little to no trail. It's still easy to navigate, but definitely a change.
Awesome as usual!!
Awesome videos. How do you know you’re on the right path? Do you use a preprogrammed gps or something?
I had a GPS apps and more importantly paper maps.
I'm a bit of a latecomer, but enjoy your thru hike videos a lot. Thanks. You use an open sleep system (no tent); how are you not scared of snakes, scorpions, etc., especially innthe desert?
I've never had anything bother me. It's a possibility i suppose, but such a small one that it really isn't a concern.
The CDT looks slightly less crowded than the AT. And slightly less blazes, too. It seems if you do not have a compass, you are in a world of hurt.
Thanks for posting the video! I'm curious, without having a defined trail to follow, are you using a map & compass or?
I'm using a map and compass, but there are also trail signs occasionally to hike towards. So far it has been fairly straightforward, though I do sometimes off trail a bit.
Right on thanks Joe. Happy trails, be safe.
Joe...I purchased the same camera/video setup that you use. Do you use the front facing camera or the rear camera? Front camera has better image quality but you can't see what your filming while the rear facing camera allows you to see what your filming but has much lower quality. How do you do it?
Do you mean the iPhone? The rear facing camera should be much better quality than the front (selfie) camera. I shoot with the filmic app using the camera on the backside of the phone.
some of my friends in the army have stress fractures and as far as i know it takes a lot of time to heal (months) and you need full rest eat well and sleep well ( which never happens on trail or in the military) so most people suck it up and continue with it.
So sorry you had such a long recovery. Please say it was enough. Wild cows! How cool and cute calf. Why didn't you make leggings out of that hide? Hehe. Must have been cold to hike in your puffy coat. With that water trough please say you filter! Aquamira just doesn't work in every situation. Gulp! Lastly, sure hope you bought sunscreen in town. Those were some red legs man. Take care. Thanks for the videos and pictures.
Why did you go back to the wildcats instead of the ultra raptors? Was it the ultra raptors that caused the pain?
I switched before I even started hiking. The ultra raptors are just way too narrow and tight in the toe box. I think the extra reinforcement on the foot box prevents stretching and breathing. On the train ride down I knew they wouldn't work out, and had my wildcats sent to me.
What camera are you using?
On this trip I used my iPhone 6 camera.
Just checked out your amazing page of gear...thanks for taking the time to post this.

wow...loving the critters you show..nicely done on the videomaking.
thumbs up
"Its nice to have a little bit of elevation gain on this trail"
This will be a funny line to come back to once you are consistently climbing 10,000 ' mountains up north
Take care of your feet. They are more important that this hike, long term. Would hate for your new trail name to be "Hopalong". :)
Are the cows owned by anyone or are they wild?
jack peak old home stead. i go to that area to gold pan.
Haven't found any tarantulas yet?
No, but they're out there somewhere supposedly. I'd like to find one.
Is it hard to brush your teeth
+Nicholas Hauser Nope. I just take a small sip of water and brush like normal.
