CDT & Thru-Hike Syndicate

2016 Will be a big year for us! We have challenged ourselves to hike the Continental Divide Trail, in its entirety. This is no simple feat, up to 3,100 miles spanning across 5 states from the Mexico Border to the Canada Border. This will be, by far, our biggest adventure, both individually and together.

We are also excited to announce that we will be ambassadors for the Thru-Hike Syndicate program as two of their 28 hikers tackling a long thru-hike; AT, PCT, and CDT. This is the first year the program will have anyone on the CDT and we’re honored to be 2 of the 6 ambassadors helping to introduce the trail to their program.

A perk of being an ambassador for the Thru-Hike Syndicate is that you will be able to track us along our trek more often. As part of the deal, we will be checking in at least every two weeks and there will be an interactive map you can follow of our progress along with the other hikers. We will try to update our social media pages as regularly as possible, but, as you can imagine, there are limited power sources and internet connections on the trail. It’ll be a nice break from all the hustle and bustle of regular every day life.

Of course, another perk is that the program will be supplying us with most of our primary gear. The Thru-Hike Syndicate is comprised of five outdoor gear companies; Vasque will be taking care of our foot needs along with Darn Tough Socks; We’ll be keeping our balance with sets of Leki trekking poles; Nemo Equipment will be “home” with a tent, sleeping bag and sleeping pad; and Ospret will be supplying packs to carry all of it across the country.
