i am
the black election
understand that
[Music]
i just defeated ron mountain
[Music]
i started down in springer mountain
georgia and all the way up past
millinocket maine
it took me 190 days it looks romantic
but it's definitely not a joke man
it was just a demoralizing day i ain't
gonna lie to you
rain rain rain like the last
mile and a half was a mountain before
you got to this gap
i don't know what the name of that
mountain is but i hate you
he's like sometimes your dreams aren't
what's best for you so uh put in my two
week notice like a couple days later
i just posted one day just a random
thought i wonder if i can survive in the
woods and my cousin said go hike to
appalachian betrayal
i had never hiked camp the day in my
life one of my mom's friends was calling
me hey black appalachian i was like hey
they kind of got a nice ring to it
today is day one appalachian trail
excited to be out here
i think everything will be good
[Music]
the most challenging part was just
having to stay motivated um for sure
because you always know you can just
pack up and go home at any time you had
some bad days when it was just like
constant rain for three or four days
straight um then you're like man i
really i don't know about this
raindrops keep falling on my head
you know wonder whether you're mentally
prepared for it and physically prepared
for it
you really have to have a crazy amount
of belief in yourself to get it done
guess what
we rocking
t-shirt and all wet and all
i will not be defeated
and my favorite section of the
appalachian trail has to be the 100-mile
wilderness up in maine this is so
beautiful
this is my last week on trail
man
the experiences i've had out here i'm so
grateful for
people i've met i'm grateful for
after the trip man i really felt strong
i felt accomplished
[Music]
my favorite parts of camino probably
would be man just being able to go from
town to town and it's these like
beautiful old towns right on the ocean
i actually have a permit
july 31st to go southbound on the
pacific crest trail from the canadian
border down to mexico
as far as a career trying to just just
chase the next adventure and searching
for sponsorships i never thought of in a
million years i would be doing anything
like this
if i can just inspire one person then
i've done my job
