I'm starting the Colorado Trail as my first thru hike in less than two weeks and the excitement is overwhelming. It just feels so surreal that after watching thru hiking videos for years I will finally be heading out to do it myself. I appreciate that you share these adventures with us, may it inspire others to do the same.

I lived in CO for 16 years before having to move to FL, and I miss it terribly. It's my dream to someday be able to move back and thru hike the CT. Your videos are beautifully done and capture the feeling of those mountains as well as any I've seen. Thank you for putting these together, I'm on my third time through watching them now.

I use microcosmic orbit internal martial art technique to overcome fatigue by stimulating body. I had success using microcosmic orbit to increase walking pace up Springer Mountain west route. While swimming mile after first 10 minutes my pace slows for 60 seconds before faster pace returns with second wind. Microcosmic orbit during symmetrical breast stroke decreases second wind recovery from normal 60 seconds to 10 seconds. My opinion is adrenal glands stimulation is reason for fast pace swimming or walking uphill. Day 36 Early Riser uphill warrior challenge (+15:10) reminded me of microcosmic orbit benefit. Surprised Early is not familiar with this technique due to his Ranger training.

Thanks, bro. This is an example of how far I've evolved in my mind from those first videos hiking the AT. My mind is so much quieter now. There's no desire for me to hit record and ramble on about "busy things" even though all those who have followed me since the AT still want the busy-mind me in the videos (look at the comments 😁). It has taken many trails and many hours of meditation and reflection to reduce the primacy of my giant-ass ego. That's where I think your gift lies. You are at a peaceful place mentally and can now let that place come out in verbal communication. That's powerful! That's a gift only a few have. It's a superpower. I tried to express aesthetically in my video because it doesn't flow naturally for me in verbal form. Thanks for the comment. Stay the course out there.

Ok.... where were we.... Get a NKJV BIBLE. Get alone with God. Humbly ask God to show Himself to you. Pray. Step out in faith. Open that Bible and wherever your eyes first land....READ IT !!!! Just talk to Him. Read that Bible. Tell Him you're sorry for doing bad stuff. He is so good Trey. It's not just you. You've gotta help save your family too Trey. Don't be that guy on Judgment Day that watches his family thrown into Hell. Knowing you could have and should have helped. Quit being selfish. It's not just about you..... All those warriors you help train and lead too. You know they're going into combat. You're missing chances to save souls. You need to get alone with God Trey. It's not just me He has sent to warn you. If you'd listen He will help you. ON HIS TERMS !!! not ours... He keeps showing me tears..... and crying. What's that mean to you?
