Thanks for watching! If you need personal training/logistics/gear/nutrition/mental toughness training for thru-hikes check out my program: www.couchtotrail.com Gear list for the entire CYTC here: www.couchtotrail.com/blog/calendar-year-triple-crown-gear-list-and-reviewand-how-the-gear-changed-along-the-at-pct-and-cdt This was a quick edit I made to be shown at CDT trail days. Still working on the series, and working on a more detailed documentary cut.

Bro never once skipped leg day

A calendar triple is impressive and difficult to comprehend. Sharing your experience about the adversity, the friendships, going through the motions, and the let down at the end. It was beautiful and raw, thank you for sharing.

Been a competitive bodybuilder & power lifter for over 25years...lockdown took it all away & I accidentally found hiking through KZfaq which took me out of the depression I found myself in & literally changed my life in so many ways. I’m now just turned 50, about to start the longest national trail here in the UK (it’s “only” 630miles) & I’m trying to see if I can financially make an attempt at the PCT next year. Your videos are an inspiration to me, more so than any UK hiker & between yourself & Jupiter I’ve learned so much & gone against the grain of what’s considered normal on this side of the pond in regards to gear. Thank you for sharing your journeys & helping me find a better life.

this is such an insane feat - I have no idea how it's possible. huge congratulations. Also, shoutout to the person doing the PCT with the jansport, that's pure insanity

Hey Jack I just want you to know something brother. Before this year, I had hiked once. I saw your videos and your calander year triple crown video from months back changed my life. It gave me so much motivation I can't even put it fully into words how incredibly it resonated with me. This year, after spending 26 years years of my life being a homebody and a video gamer I decided to go outside and hike every single moment I could while still working full time. I've done only about 300 miles this year and have recently decided to join the Air Force for a better career path but the perminance of the mountains will call me back as I feel like I have found a home in their solace. I dont know where I'd be if I hadn't found your videos, I am eternally grateful to you for this. I hope to one day meet/hike with you! Stay blessed brother ❤

The finish was beautiful... How many times have we built up our expectations?? And how many times have those expectations been as we'd envisioned?!? How much LIFE was displayed in that moment, even with all the natural LIFE you've been walking through... The realization you had in that moment may be the most HUMAN reaction to anything I've seen online in more than a decade. Thank you Jack!!! And continue to remember, that there will only be one YOU for all of time... Fearlessly be yourself!!!

I've done the triple crown myself, but the 'stop and smell the roses' version - 7 months on the PCT, 6 months on the AT and 3 two month and 1 three month section hike to complete the CDT. Overcoming the physical challenge was gratifying, but I enjoyed the primitive camping solitude, the spectacular mountain scenery and wildlife viewing even more. The PCT is the best, but then again as a So Cal native, I may be biased.

I don’t even have words to express how blown away I am from what you have done. You are a post modern Goliath of endurance. I’ll be thinking about this for weeks.

Congratulations on an epic journey. You are an incredible athlete. Your mental discipline and courage is off the charts. Huge props!

Really impressed with your mental preserving though this all. The physical challenge is incredible, but to me the mental endurance to keep going through all of that is what really amazes me. Incredible.

That’s an incredible achievement. One that is hard for people to comprehend. You can never fit everything into a one documentary. I love that you included going back for the camera! That must have been annoying. It’s all you out there. Well done.

I’m sure this amazing adventure was a roller coaster of emotions for you. As for me, I just watched this 36-minute video not far from tears throughout, with an emotion that was … well, the simplest label would be envy. Well done, well done.

I have watched a number of hikers capture their journeys on the 3 three trails but had no idea that this was even a possibility! To complete all 3 in one year! WOW - what an incredible journey. Congratulations and may you have many more adventures hiking the world.

Really appreciate everything you do to bring us along your through hikes, the additional time spent to capture everything is truly appreciated.

congratulations and thank you for documenting , a great journey!

Congratulations bud, what a stunning journey! Your energy and cinematography skills are unmatched!

What you did is amazing, which makes you amazing! I loved the community portions of your experience, and wish you had been able to have more of them since you also seemed to thrive in those shared experiences. Congratulations and I am so grateful for watching your video.

Outstanding! The accomplishment alone is extraordinary, but then providing us your vlogs made me feel like I was hiking with you every step of the way. Thank you!

Feeling inspired- well done amigo!! Thx for sharing the journey!!

I can’t help but keep coming back and watching your achievement and your journey. You’re very inspirational, thank you for sharing.

Absolutely incredible! Thanks for sharing this, you are a legend now and well deserved

Thanks for putting this version together sir! It’s like a pocket edition. Your posts in New Hampshire, Maine, are incredible.

Huge congrats! What an adventure! I appreciate your approach and humility. Amazing.

Wow! That is the most extreme adventure! Glad you made through to the end. Bravo young man forever onward!

That was an incredible journey. Thanks for taking us with you.

This is amazing!!! Great job and fantastic videography. The fact that you were able to do this AND film this... 👏👏👏

Doffs my cap to your Epic Adventure!! I'm so glad you did the CDT last as I always hold CDT Thru Hikers in such awe, due to it being the most difficult and remote trail.

Way to go dude! Impressive accomplishment🎉

Toe and May Queen!! I met them in Vermont as they went SOBO and I headed NOBO. I finished up and they made it to VA where I’m from, so I was able to bring them some trail magic last night! You’re a legend man, thanks for the videos!

Incredible accomplishment. A real inspiration for those of us plotting and planning our first through hike!

Congrats to this unbelievable journey. RESPECT! 👍

Damn man, Congratulations on the CY Triple Crown that is amazing and you are very inspiring. You seemed so down at the end of your journey, I see a lot of videos of hikers who hike alone and the journey doesn't seem to be as rewarding as it is when they hike with others. Thanks for sharing your adventure tho.

Ive seen a lot being a marine, but this time is impressive. Before i found you and this channel, i was thinking 14 months for triple crown, but now youve inspired me, thank you.

Epic accomplishment dude. Congratulations!

Truly inspiring! You are one tough dude!

Truly incredible, mindblowing. Congrats man.

Beautiful video and I hope in the months that have passed you have been able to reflect and appreciate what an amazing goal you set and accomplished ❤

Incredible video and accomplishment, you accomplished something very few have done.

I'm crying. Very moving experience to watch. What an absolutely incredible feat! Well done sir!!

Praying for your continued journey friend!

Truly exceptional completing the triple crown in one year!! I followed a lot of your journey and you even inspired me to complete the AT this year. Way to go Jack, amazing !

Thank you so much for making this video. Every part of it was beautiful. Showcasing the ugly parts and the struggles you went through to all the happy moments you shared with friends. One of the best youtube videos I've ever watched before. Super inspiring. Congratulations on the triple crown!

Truly inspiring! Thank you again.

Very few people manage to live up to their potential as much as you. Incredibly impressive!

Great video. Ya know I really enjoyed your first video covering the day to day, but this one gives us an insight of what was going on in your head along the way. That glissading thing could have been a treacherous end to the hike if there had been a sharp rock under the snow. I’m glad you commented that you wouldn’t be doing that again. Thank goodness the fall didn’t crack your head open either. It is good to see that you got some socialization in with other hikers and have some laughs along the way. With the speed you did the trails, it was good to see you stopped to enjoy some of the wildlife too. Anyway, so glad that you are going to continue your Relentless series. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe, huh?

Just fantastic. Congratulations.

WOW! I’m pretty sure, that you’re the only one that could put your accomplishment into words. Amazing! Congratulations!✌️❤️

Wow Jack , what an amazing film ! Thank you !

im grateful i found your channel. stories like this, robin davidson crossing australia, matt parker being the first person to cross america on horseback, people circumnavigating the globe, all of it, gives me this feeling of hope and freedom i cant find anywhere else. i hope to be able to do things like that someday. i did my first marathon at presque isle state park in spetember by myself. i got rope burn on my chest from my drawstring backpack with car keys and it was worth every blister. i have had a rough winter since and a few weeks ago had a foot injury that laid me up. I am starting a training plan and just did the 9 mile long run today. Im want to prove to myself i can do it again. this got longer than i thought but anyway i just wanted to reach out to say thank you.

Congratulations on ur epic hiking year! I followed u on social media throughout ur journeys. Loved ur videos ❤

Amazing accomplishment! Great to watch all the videos!

An incredible achievement! Thank you for taking the extra effort to document it and share it with us.

What a journey of endurance that you have had🎉❤

Damn man I'm sorry the ending wasn't as grandiose as you maybe had hoped but I just want to congratulate you on your efforts! You are an insane human and I love watching everything you do. All that snow looked absolutely miserable I don't know how you kept up the mental fortitude to trudge 1.5mph for possibly days at a time. Wild man. You're an inspiration and watching you makes me want to get back out there and finish my AZT attempt. Can't wait to see what's next for you Jack!

You sir, are a madman. Great work

First 10 minutes have me really looking forward to winter hiking in the whites! It's almost time!

What an amazing accomplishment and great to watch. You are definitely a thru hiker! All the best!

Amazing feat and documentary!

I saw your first videos in march, thinking it was absolute madness. Now 7 month later, which passed in a blink of an eye in my life, you did it. How fast time goes scares me, and you go faster. You legend. Beautiful images.

Thanks for sharing this great adventure. Cheers!

Just amazing. Hiking one of those trails during prime season and the best weather is hard enough. Hiking all three one after another in adverse conditions is just beyond belief. Congratulations for your amazing accomplishment, I hope someday I have the willpower and determination to perservere through 1/10th of what you can do.

What a super impressive accomplishment. When you were feeling down I questioned whether the goal was worth it. However, when things got tough again in the snow and you said it rekindled your spirit because it was hard and that's why you were there it all made sense. Suffer in beautiful places. Completing any one of those trails in a huge accomplishment in my eyes. To do all three in a year must have been physically and emotionally trying and rewarding. Congrats!

Your ability to maintain weight throughout the journey is extremely impressive! Can you do a video where you talk about what you ate and your strategy for not losing muscle?

Certified Legend in my book.

Congratulations !! Amazing accomplishment. Thanks for sharing your adventure.👍

Thanks man, you’re giving a fellow thick legged dude hope for some incredible endurance feats

So impressive and so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your journey and hiking your hike.

Absolutely amazing! Congratulations to you, a CYTC is an extremely difficult feat. I just gave ride to hiker with 1000 miles left on the PCT to finish his CYTC. What a great time we had talking. You’re a rockstar!

Very inspiring, thanks for sharing!

Congratulations, and thank-you for sharing.

Dude, your stuff is amazing, thank you for sharing this with us...

Great effort. Well done.

I’m so glad I was able to follow along on your CYTC. You’re a beast!

Great video! I cannot image going thru the Whites or Mahoosuc Notch in those conditions! It was hard enough during "normal" condition on my 2017 AT thru. I met Flyby on my 2020 CT thru hike at around 9:00 PM just north of the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Boundary. She was kind enough to stop and chat for a few minutes.

Congratulations🎉

You are a BEAST!!! Wow! Your mental and physical toughness are something else! And…I FELT what you were talking about at the end, what I would expect after miles of pushing and adventure was a group of people cheering you home and laughing and hugging you - like a runner finishing a 100 mile race, what you got was a super anticlimactic ending! However…it is just the way God works in my life all the time - always teaching me - even at the end, you had to push a little farther, alone and likely hungry, thirsty and uncomfortable. But dude!!! Wow! What a rockstar!!! If I were training for something - I would want to train with you!!!

You are an absolute madman! Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow! Thats unbelievable. Its my goal to become a triple crowner but not in one year. It took me a while to recover from my AT thru hike in 2015 (nobo). I hope you make a longer documentary cause this was so awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing your incredible adventure.

Wow! Impressive... what a great journey with you Congratulations 🎉

Wow. THANK YOU for the great video and for the inspiration. All good wishes for the future...

Inspiring trip. Thanks man

Wow, congrats on this amazing achievement!

Just finding this video. Kudos. Having done the AT, I can't begin to fathom going down that back side of Moosilauke in ice and snow

Your an amazing chap, what an awesome feat!!!

Impressive accomplishment. Good video.

You are an inspiration ! Amazing job and superb video compilation.

Yes..I only found out recently how hard it is mentally comprehend such an amazing accomplishment. Severe Dopamine dump ❤

Stoked to watch this - you going to still keep doing the episodes on each trail? Or wrapping it all up with this?

Yo, these red altras are my jam! Such great shoes!!! Insane accomplishment bro!

The only negative, the film was too short. Loved it, motivated me. Well done buddy.

Very impressive, unbelievable fortitude

"In the end of the PCT I was kind of tired and over hiking but proceeded to do the CDT" - that put things into the perspective. :) What's in one more walk across the whole country :D

Wow! Thanks so much for this video and congrats again for the CYTC. Just amazing to see it. I can't even imagine doing Mahoosuc Notch in these conditions. That must've been real "fun". Also ever since I started doing video myself I realize and appreciate the amount of effort you put into it (and I am only carrying a small action cam😅). It was fun to hang out with you at Kennedy Meadows North! Again, thanks for the video and HMU if you're ever in Switzerland✌

Absolutely wicked video mate waking machine and good motivational inspiration

Unbelievable! I can't even imagine the effort.

Thank you Jack! 👊👍Appreciate you my friend 🙏God Bless

Impressive!!! Congratulations!! ~Siesta PCT sobo 2016 & AT LASH GA>VT Thanks for the Vid!!!

An incredible accomplishment 🎉

Im still gonna try, starting APT northbound january 1st, because i live in Arizona and i want to finish there. Youve inspired me thanks again.
