#2Long time lurker. Seeing this on hacker news surprised me. I'm a triple crowner myself, though not single calendar year. It's impressive. Those trails are a crazy ride! - Lunchbox

#3I was on the CDT this year and heard about these guys. It's a crazy accomplishment! I know I was not expecting them to finish all three.

#4A great story, no regrets, but I also feel a little click-baited. "Hiking... longest trails..." That sounds rough. "What could go wrong?" Well, that it was indeed rough, apparently...

#5I finished the A.T. in October after 174 days, by far the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I can't imagine trying to do a whole triple crown in a single year. Hats off to these two!

Correct. I can't speak for bear bait, but you get a name or give yourself a name on trail. A right of passage of sorts. I'm Lunchbox because of a chest pack I wore on the PCT. There are people on trail that you never know their real name. Some very interesting stories on how they got theirs.

#10Impressive. I've taken a liking to day hiking recently in a way I didn't appreciate when I was younger... But ultimately I just want to go home and sleep in a bed.
