John Z is one of the more interesting personalities in the UL and long-distance communities that I've been able to find. Here he manages to set the Colorado Trail unsupported FKT and create an entertaining video at the same time.

Last year I walked across New Mexico on the CDT. The weather was unseasonably wet. I don't think I would do it again, but there's other stuff in NM that looks fun. I really like walking and there is nothing quite like the fluidity, spontaneity and simplicity of a walking trip.

Yes indeed, fellow walker :)
