Calendar Year Triple Crown Gear List

[@chuckmckenney4491]

Big fan of having ginger on thru hike. Really needed it in NY during my 2023 AT thru. Always have some with me on all hikes now. Hope everything goes smoothly for you on your CYTC!

[@Beertownbill]

I find it interesting you are going to carry the flip fuel. Had those been available in 2017, I would have spent a lot less on fuel on my AT thru. Every hiker box had partial canisters (which is obviously what you are planning on.) And I thought I knew everything there was to know about gear, but apparently not. I was not familiar with PD technology. Time for a new wall charger and cables. Good luck on your hike!

Get it Pegleg! Last I watched on 9Lives, you were out in that flash flood! I've got to catch up on your blog still! 😊 Be safe, be smart and enjoy every minute!!!! ~French Fry

💕🤍👣 Thanks for the video 💕🤍👣

[@vickigutenkunst7101]

I just read you story in “The Trek”. So excited to watch you this year. Us Pennsylvania girls will be routing for you. Enjoy your last day off trail, Happy Nee Year! I’m so excited to watch your journey….

[@jonmoore4050]

Can tell a lot of thought & experience went into selection for each item of what is absolutely necessary...rubber band as a wallet!

[@dustinandsawyer7498]

I’m on the FL trail using the 30 degree bag w a liner now. It’s a damp cold here.

[@deadmandoogievandoogerson633]

When you complete this feat there should be a fantastic celebration. Imagine Forest Gump’s followers tracing your final footsteps or perhaps a big send off/welcome home at the airport. I have so much confidence in you that I can already see the end. BE SAFE and may the weather and fires be kind to you.

[@ColbyontheTrail]

This is going to be fun to follow!

[@flipfuel]

We're cheering you on Madison! And stoked to be in the pack to help fuel the adventure 🔥

[@BagBowlMazeMouse]

So stoked for this!!!

[@williamsham0]

Inspiring, trailblazing stuff! I'll be living vicariously through your updates, as I'm sure many others around the world will be. CYTC is such an amazing life goal/challenge, stoked you're taking on something very few others would.

[@jhonyermo]

Found out about this on Instagram. How great you are doing this. Super. Will be following here, IG, and The Trek

[@onisgagan2481]

Look forward to following your great adventures. We’re in Montana, if you need anything on your way through we’d be glad to help. Safe travels 🚶‍♀️

[@greg.jacobs]

Good luck taking on the calender year triple crown, and thanks for taking us along!

[@tommysaunders7189]

Good luck and have fun. This journey would be so fun! I can't wait to keep track of you doing it!

[@scothampton963]

It's going to be a great challenge and enjoyable adventure. Best of luck.

[@a.w.thompson4001]

Congratulations on beginning your amazing adventure. Looking forward to following you on media.

[@rebecca_finds_life]

So excited to follow along! I'm hoping to attempt the same in 2027, but might be 2028 if my medical isn't resolved as quickly as I'm hoping. Good luck and have fun!!

[@davejohnson4905]

I’ve never seen you before but I’m excited to follow your adventure. Take care and stay safe

[@jodimorrison]

Just met your channel today and was wondering if I can catch up a bit on your older videos from some of the older trails accomplished (if you documented them?) before I watch you on this next amazing journey? Good luck - you go girl!!!!!

[@linfennell8751]

Wishing you the very best of luck Peg Leg. I can't wait to follow you, every step of the way ❤️

[@markviers998]

All the best to you, this is quite the journey and we'll be pulling for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@ThePumas1975]

Good luck pegleg be safe out there Jaru walks its finishing in a few days

[@RidgeWalker8414]

Hey, Pegleg, we met on trail just as you entered Colorado on the CDT this year. Very excited for you with this big undertaking. Safe trails and good luck, can't wait to follow your journey!

[@annelasky8077]

Been following you since pinhoti trail. Excited to follow your next year of adventures!!

[@dajo2824]

Good luck. Will be quite an adventure.

[@xbalance]

Looking forward to following your journey. Wishing you a fantastic 2025 and I hope you crush it!

[@debiebrockhoff2552]

Good luck! Watching from Australia!

[@kudlakp]

Good luck and thanks for taking us along!

[@kellybailey8783]

Wow! Amazing adventure. Looking forward to following.

[@paula23400]

2:48 is as far as I watched, just FYI Black Diamond makes a pair just as light. BD Carbon Z is 9.8 oz per pair at 120cm. Food for thought. I hope you accomplish your goal! Most of all, have a great time out there. I look forward to checking in on your journey from time to time. Happy trails!

[@aerynrowe5574]

Im so excited to follow this in 2025! Im routing for you!

[@jaygosuico]

All best! Hoping to see you soon! OutsideJay! :) ❤

[@barbara777]

I'm glad the youtube algorithm recommended this video, you seem like a bad ass!!! I love all of your gear choices!!!!!!!

[@johnelliott-b7b]

You got the good stuff lady ! It’s gona be great! Love ya !

[@doredootz5088]

Two days from starting!!! Good luck, stay safe and enjoy yourself.

[@woodyshepherd6904]

Good Luck! Hope to see ya on the CDT... going sobo with my dog Mya ;)

[@dustinandsawyer7498]

Yeah!

[@jodimorrison]

Sorry - just watched till the very end of video and you said it all there - I will go check them out👍

[@ohjolt2]

The platypus filter is so much better. I used a sawyer all last year then got the platy and will never go back. It's like 2x faster and has caps so you don't get dripped on when you sleep with it below freezing

[@notquiteultralight1701]

Hey there! This is so cool! Will you be vlogging along the way? As a weekend backpacker, I’ve carried out more than my fair share of those empty stove canisters that people leave behind at the shelters on the Long Trail. I try to tell myself that it’s not thru hikers like yourself that does this but other irresponsible weekend warriors. Consequently, after voluntarily carrying these empty canisters out of the backcountry, I’m a firebox nano twig stove guy with a trangia alcohol stove as backup. Please, please carry out your empty stove canisters on your hike. Properly burying your turds and packin out stove canisters should be basic thruhiker etiquette. Take care, good luck and I look forward to following along! NQU

[@terrycanedo4238]

I don't know when you'll be on the CDT (probably end of the year again?), but I'd be happy to help out in central NM if you need it. I can get stuff to you in Cuba or Grants if there's anything you need. ✌️ Are you blogging again? Do the gear videos mean you're gonna vlog? I'm excited for you! Best of luck out there! 👊✌️

[@williamlepse7077]

This sounds like an unbelievable adventure! So excited to follow along but wondering how you are handling logistics. When you reach NJ feel free to reach out if you need something

[@ppalom2245]

So glad I found this video! Can someone tell me how the flip fuel will allow you to “never buy fuel on trail”. Where will you get the fuel to transfer it between canisters?

[@MadisonBlagden]

@@ppalom2245 hiker boxes! Half empty cans are often left behind in towns and hostels on trail.

[@valjordan2318]

You’re gonna be the FIRST!!

[@50blvd]

Good luck! This is a daunting task. Get an RFID card protector.

You go girl!!! What about Cam Bostocks Optiventure for fueling?

[@alexkevhikes]

What's your base weight?

[@thomashayes9602]

Giddyup! Walk good...

[@ambulowan]

Did you use the Palliside on the CDT? Were you ever cold in it or had issues with drafting? Assuming people with smaller chest circumferences don't have much drafting issues as there is more material covering the body.

[@michelledunn4460]

Hi! Will you be on any other social media platforms at all? 😊

[@H4K4LA]

This looks awesome! A couple things/ideas: some anti-chafe (squirrel's nut butter?), one big stake for the center guy-out of the plex, the syringe for backwashing the sawyer squeeze (maybe just in a bounce box?), one of the tiny air pumps from garage grown gear in place of the air sack pump.

[@H4K4LA]

Thank you for sharing, I didn't mean to be so critical. Your plan and setup are awesome!

[@callmedax6532]

Actually, there's a little adaptor that's *waaaaay* less bulky than that stupid syringe and works both for back-flushing and for making a more stable connection between your filter and your clean bottle when filtering. It's maybe 3mm larger than a soda bottle cap, only weighs 5 grams, and can just live on the filter when not actively in use. Soooo much better than a bulky syringe.

[@MattCobbSeattle]

Which mont-bell jacket?

[@deadmandoogievandoogerson633]

Plasma 1000 jacket.

[@MattCobbSeattle]

@@deadmandoogievandoogerson633 It's not a down jacket, it's a rain jacket

[@chandlerrenteria9043]

Why does the name pegleg sound familiar ?

[@Oriole21]

She's hiked a lot with Kelly Hays aka 9Lives

[@chandlerrenteria9043]

@Oriole21 ah makes sense, thank you!

[@jessicabartomioli8765]

How do you afford to hike all the time

[@MadisonBlagden]

@@jessicabartomioli8765 saving money, living minimally, avoiding debt, and similar practices.

[@Herofriends01]

U r sooo beautiful ❤

[@IveyHarris-r3l]

Please record your videos in Landscape, it makes a much better video

[@tommore5232]

Will this be a continuous footpath attempt or are you flip flopping?

[@MadisonBlagden]

@@tommore5232 ideally continuous east coast. Then continuous for as much of the pct that is possible. And continuous cdt. But with trail conditions I will have to wait and see

[@tommore5232]
