On August 9, 2018…
Our family set the record for being the largest family to hike the 2,189-mile Appalachian Trail. Filia was the youngest female to ever hike the trail at 7 years old.
For 161 days we averaged 13.5 miles a day. This is what we looked like before and after…
We made a full-length documentary about our trip
You can watch our daily videos of the trail here…

We made videos about what we packed, how much it cost etc.
We are currently writing a book about our adventure…

Ben writes about walking 2,200 miles with angsty teenagers and a screaming toddler. Together, the family faces snowstorms, record-breaking heat, facing sickness and the most difficult challenge: each other.
Coming Summer 2020
