CDT Blog Posts Postponed Until Hike Completion

I have decided to hold off on posting CDT hike updates while on trail for the sake of time. It takes the better part of a whole day to update the blog with 2-3 posts, and I am spending more time than I should on a computer in town. I need this time to do chores (laundry, groceries, gear repair, etc), and have been taking extra days off in town just to complete my blog updates. Extra days in town means more money spent, and lessens my chances of making it to Canada in time before the weather turns.

I will still be keeping a detailed journal throughout the rest of the hike. When I return home in the fall, I’ll complete my blog updates for the remainder of the CDT. Thank you all for your support and understanding.

Eric Poulin is a long distance hiker/thru hiker, backpacker & outdoor adventurer. I quit my job and sold my house in 2018 to thru-hike the Continental Divide Trail, and since have been mapping new thru-hiking routes of my own. In 2020, I created/hiked an original 1000+ mile thru-hiking route across Nevada called the Basin and Range Trail. In 2021, I blazed a new 600 mile off-trail thru hiking route from Southern Nevada to southern Arizona, called the Mojave-Sonoran Trail. I have several more new long distance/off-trail hikes in the works, from a few hundred miles to over 4000. Additionally, I am a fisherman, rockhound and most recently, a van lifer. My ultimate goal is to spend as much of my life doing what I enjoy, pursuing my outdoor adventure hobbies. I hope to share my adventures with you, along with some inspiration!
