The Route Makers - Episode 2: The Proving Ground

The Route Makers Episode 2: Rue McKenrick, Kevin "The Animal" Koski, Wesley "Megaman" Tils, and Andrew Skurka on what it costs to walk a route no one has walked before — the American Perimeter Trail, the Four Corners Loop, and a self-invented Mexico-to-Canada line.

A route isn't real when you draw it. It's real when somebody walks the whole thing and comes back and says: it goes. This episode is about the proving — the deserts, the −40 blizzards, the years, and the toll a first traverse takes on the body and everyone waiting at home. Settle in for the second episode of our new documentary series.
