Presidential Traverse in One Day | Beat Monday Ep. 3

[@BriManeely]

Serious props to the videographers who kept up with the boys while filming!

[@huntelaarlane]

Episode 4 now. This is golden. Hell of a concept. Inspiration for the common American person to maximize all time outside of the 40+ hour grind.

[@benanderson4639]

You should post these on Friday's to get us hyped for the weekend

[@OutsideWatch]

True. But for now, crush this Monday will ya!

[@the603guy]

@@OutsideWatch mount washington is not the highest peak east of Mississippi at 9:45 as your video suggests, probably nothing to do about it now but just fyi

[@JuniorHopson]

As Jared Gentile pointed out, Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina is the highest peak East of the Mississippi. Mt. Mitchell EL =6683, Mt. Washington EL = 6289.

[@JustAnotherFamily]

Yep...not the highest on east coast...

[@KP-jp9gv]

Picked up on this too. It's not even in the top 10 highest of east coast. Mt Mitchell, Mt Craig, Mt LeConte, Mt Guyot just to name a few since I train on some of these mountains. All in NC.

[@ThaneR0248]

This series needs to conintue. This series inspired me to take my 3 day weekends and do some pretty awesome adventures.

[@mikebuchholz347]

these are the absolute best videos! Love following along with Mike and Jason!

[@jonathanisak1116]

Cool series. I do this on weekend backpacking trips once a month. Beating Monday....I like it.

[@matthewgodwin4626]

Mount Washington isn’t the highest peak east of the Mississippi, just in the NE United States.

[@CTBikesalot]

Correct. It’s Mount Mitchell in NC

[@tobypizot1255]

this is the quality content youtube deserves

[@michaelcummins6505]

fact Checks would help though

[@shawnbuddenhagen63]

I'm really digging the series. You're adding to my bucket list every episode.

[@CT99999]

Hiking the PT in under 14 hours is no joke!! Loved the video footage, and the storyline was entertaining! Specifically, the protagonists/actors were like caricatures -- what an 18 year old ROTC member aspires to be in 10 years.

[@robsteel9718]

When's episode four?? Love these 👏🏼👌🏼

[@wayoutwest7]

Loving this series. Keep it up!

[@famousseamus5067]

I need more of these PLEASE!

[@jessemasonoutdoors]

Man I love that tent set up on the truck! This is a great series

[@steepspoon]

Pretty sure Mt Mitchel is the highest peak east of the Mississippi.

[@rhode_dawg]

Yes. There are several in NC alone higher than Washington. Maybe they meant in the Northeast. Great series overall though! traveltips.usatoday.com/10-tallest-mountains-east-mississippi-104158.html

[@shawnpatterson7924]

He said the Eastern seaboard. Is Mitchell inland a bunch maybe? I wonder what race they're doing by Tahoe. That's an awesome area to run in.

[@mikemerritt2043]

Mitchell is taller but washington is" bigger" ... around 1000' more vertical gain.

[@rhode_dawg]

I think you’ve got it. While Mitchell and about 9-10 others are higher, I think Washington has the most prominence east of the Mississip.

[@frankblangeard8865]

"At over 6000 feet Mount Washington is the highest peak east of the Mississippi River" 9:33. NOT. Mount Mitchell in North Carolina is 6684 feet compared to Mount Washington's 6289 feet. In fact, Mount Washington isn't even in the top ten east of the Mississippi. All of the top ten are in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.

[@TheodoreK2]

Favorite new series on youtube. Keep em coming!

[@Priyowibowo]

great experience... love it.

[@mfreyes0]

It’s got to be tough to aclimate to the elevation that quickly. Flying in, quick camp, hitting 6k ft on the trail the next day.

[@gabriellloyd]

The whites don't really need much acclimation, you barely begin to notice altitude at 6k feet. And most of the presidential mountains are 4-5k only mount Washington reaches 6k

[@pausette]

You guys get me pumped! Keep this going! Get some! Beat Monday!

[@mikestrollo1036]

6:45 is NUTS. We are shooting for under 10 hours in July

[@plecain]

Nice. We are doing this on the 26th of July. Not sure about 10 hours for us but 12 is our goal.

[@nkwoody]

Oh man I love this series! Such a cool idea and super motivating. Can't wait for the next one. It'd be fun to see them do more stuff in national parks. I saw someone mention the R2R2R in Grand Canyon which is a great idea. Maybe see how fast they can do the Narrows in Zion top down and angels landing without stopping?

[@robertslusher3116]

Love these video's! Keep them going

[@uventuretv4236]

Pretty pumped to do this hike. Though, more slowly lol But I love the challenge aspect of these. Testing your limits and also accomplishing cool feats.

[@kharrell8356]

Jason, you should have them edit out video of your house, I'm sure someone might be able to figure out where you live with video of the street names and the exterior of your home. Great series, good luck

[@frankblangeard8865]

It only took me a few minutes to find his address using Google and his name Jason Antin. I won't show it here but it is in Golden Co. He was born in 1983 and is a registered Democrat.

[@pierrevanlavie8982]

I've already got it figured out. PM me if you want to know.

[@pierrevanlavie8982]

Must be nice life 'working from home' and going off on adventures with your 'friend' and leaving your wife and child behind every weekend. . . typical Colorado Democrat. Probably smokes a lit of weed too, at least his partner seems to. Exactly what's wrong with this country. I expect more out of a company like Merrel.

[@tseawell90]

Pierre Van La Vie Haha so true though. Privileged white yuppies ruin everything

[@aubimar5758]

Love the series! I'm new to the whole trail running scene. Just wondering what kind of packs you guys are rockin' in this video?

[@ulhiker05]

They have vests made by ultimate direction one is wear the adventure vest and the other is wearing the mountain vest.

[@alexturner5558]

highest peak east of the Mississippi is Mount Mitchell in NC

[@owensanborn6168]

I've done this twice. If they want a real challenge they need to do the Pemi Loop in NH

[@pauln.]

You know it sucks that hiking has turned into a pissing contest. The presidential traverse is a challenge. And so I the pemi loop. I find many hikers just try to one up each other. Like this guy.

[@MountainLust]

In a day. Maybe 2.

[@the603guy]

@@pauln. Human nature, we're so intelligent but yet just animals trying to out do one another; the internet, social media, and apps have ruined individuality. It's all about look what I can do! I agree with your perspective. Only way to beat it is to not participate, but yet, here we both are, commenting and casting opinions, ohhh the humanity!!

[@Marcos-P]

Can you post a gear list? Shoes (Merrell model), packs etc. Great series!!

[@misskristinyoo]

I spilled some water hahahahah love this series!

[@TJackSurvival]

I love these!

[@MrMathieuu]

Given the lack of new episodes from these guys I guess you could say that Monday won.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BackBayBrian]

Awesome series! These guys should try Grand Canyon R2R2R for a nice chill weekend run. Just saying. 😊

[@luketipple3615]

That was actually in the original list of episodes but we're planning on it next year as this was filmed over summer and those temps were pretty ridiculous!

[@eraledoozerois5874]

They are the best I love their videos😊😊

More please!

[@jonathanlockwood3368]

I love this series

I THOUGHT those streets look familiar......I KNEW it was GOlden! (MY sister lives there. GRET TOWN!)

[@michaelconner5732]

Y'all ever want company or help with these adventures? Retired Army officer here out of Austin that would love to join in on an adventure!

[@edknauf3415]

My Washington is NOT the highest peak east of the Mississippi River... Mount Mitchell in North Carolina is higher

[@haroldfrench2674]

Epic...well done.

[@michaelconner5732]

"Have you actually ever had a female in this van?" :)

[@MaineClimber]

what about Mt. Jackson or Webster?

[@the603guy]

Jackson and webster are often not done in the presi traverse, not sure why,, but for me when I do a presi traverse I include every president.

[@MGriffin2501]

More hitchhiking please. 😂

[@Ron-nq6ft]

What tent rack is that on the Tacoma

[@gabrielclaussen1181]

More great stuff

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

Have they run Brokeback mountain??

[@Toxic_Muk]

Love this me and my friends do the same

[@svetlanarosales1499]

sick!

[@kaigundlach5797]

Mount Mitchell in North Carolina is higher than Mount Washington

[@jangobango2847]

I did the Presedential traverse! It's easy! It's also a V0 in Yosemite xD

[@theophi1us887]

Anyone else slightly triggered he left the windshield wipers on while underground??

[@kodycoggin]

This is awesome! If anyone likes this they should check out mediocre amateurs. They do stuff just like this as well. Awesome content keep it up

[@duncare3601]

I highly recommend Mediocre Amateurs.

[@area51r]

the camera man never gets credit for any of this.

[@JustAnotherFamily]

Like the series... check the highest point claim...

[@coaroas9243]

So they skipped Mt. Jackson!

[@MountainLust]

The Presidential traverse typically ends with the descent down the Crawford path, and Jackson despite being part of the range, is south of that.

[@coaroas9243]

@@MountainLust , well that makes Mt Jackson sad!

[@jabird212]

The camera guy has to be in better shape than these guys to keep up.

[@phcnh]

Presidential Range ain’t that hard!😂

[@VTPyzon]

well that was fun ... why didn't they just get a ride from the film crew?

[@Tjandizzlebeatz]

What happened to this series?!

[@jacobcarolan1172]

It’s so sad that the average American would be lucky to make it a mile and a half into that beautiful hike. Lucky I could definitely make the whole trek. I could probably only run about 5-7 miles at that altitude!

[@eraledoozerois5874]

Hi guys

[@filipjanku2809]

Dear OutsideWatch, great video but I hate to break it to you that Mount Washington is NOT "the highest peak east of Mississippi!. More so it is not even in top 10. Please do your homework next time.

[@johngreever4080]

You guys griping about a less-than-400-foot vert mis-statement are funny. Relax. Exactly none of you are Alex Trebek. Did you actually watch the video, which was great, or solely analyze for potential verbal errors?

[@woolfy192]

👍🥇

[@plusbonus9017]

What a 'mindful' way to see nature. Really taking time to smell the roses! Deadline driven slaves!! I feel sorry for this philosophy,

[@johngreever4080]

They're friends who live across the country from one another and have busy lives and are making time to do rad shit together. Are you an imbecile?

[@jamiesabuda7757]

So they work all week and then abandon their families on the weekends to play around in the mtns. Nice gig.

[@charlie9ak]

I'm not sure it's fair to assume we know anything about their family dynamics.
