Ice Age Trail: 100 Miles in 3 Days
Looking for a challenge, I set out on a solo backpacking trip to complete 100 miles on the Ice Age Trail. The Ice Age Trail has some beautiful areas, but also has a considerable amount of road walking. The demanding walk did a toll on my feet, but I was able to complete the challenge in 72 hours while disbursed camping along the way. The highlight of this trip for me was standing on a beaver dam and the beaver swimming very close to me before slapping his tail and swimming away.

You definitely earned that big breakfast!
You're my hero. Great job!!
Looks like a great trip I wouldn’t mind trying
You are a true trail/road Warrior!!! The miles you go in a day is just absolutely amazing! You have a very high threshold for pain , your feet ouch!! Thanks again for taking us along on another great adventure!
Great hike & fantastic video. Can't avoid those road walks but the little towns are fun, I'd definitely be stopping for beers. Agree with you that the camera does help with the loneliness on solo trips, thanks for sharing!
Definitely Beast Mode!! Nice hike! Thanks for taking us along! I can’t decide creepy or cool so I’ll just say it’s a bit strange😂
Love to see you out on the trail and for me, in this way I am able to discover a new part of the States again. Thank you for that. Really like your video's.
Great job!! That's what I call a weekend hike. Hey, I ended up buying the noxgear 39g. I love it, thanks for giving the review on it.
Great video man! Thanks for sharing!!!
Beast mode!
Great video. Big miles !! You mentioned the Ouachita Trail. Watched all your videos on it. Currently planning a March 2023 Ouachita Trail hike.
100+ miles in 4 days! That's hard core hiking. 3 days......amazing!!! Great video👍👍
Me and my wife are gonna be hitting the ice age trail this weekend with NOW Outdoors. Good to see what the weather is like up there from your video.
100 miles in 3 days is insane .. I do a very comfortable 12-18 .. Nature is a beast enough
You are a beast! Great video. Hope the feet are better.
Great work! The amount of talking, music and montage of clips was balanced perfectly.
Us Kentucky Boys do like our moonshine stills 😁 Definitely Beastmode brother. That’s really putting the miles in. Myagai will be proud of you 😁. Cool video and great job.
Man, you crush miles Jeremy. Great video.
Awesome job sir 🍻🤙
I just thru-hiked northern kettle moraine IAT.
You're nuts but I admire you! Nice beaver man.
Great job. Although I Would not want to have feet that have gone through what yours have. LOL
New sub! Liked 🙏👍❤️
Good push stud boy.

I do. After this hike I switched to Injinji merino wool toe sock liners and I LOVE them!
Great content! Curious, do you recommend bear spray in that area?

WOW INCREASABLE! How much weight did you carry! What pack did you use? I'm gonna start practicing and hopefully working towards being able to handle 80 pounds 10 miles a day!

I can’t remember my exact weight, but it was probably 19-20 lbs. I wired the Waymark Gear Company 38 liter EVLV made from ultra fabric. Love it.
