Hello everyone! I am currently more than 1/2 way through Oregon and have less than 200 miles before Washington and less than 700 mile before Canada!! My foot accessories have taken quite a beating, and it’s looking like I’ll need one last refresh to get me all the way through to Canada.
Holy Shoes!!
Holy Socks!
Not so supportive insoles... (used to be bright blue!)
This year, I’ve been very hesitant to ask of any financial support or to put up any kind of registry or wish-list. After doing those things two years ago and then only doing a third of the trail, I wanted to take on all responsibilities myself this year. However, a few people have asked if there’s anyway they can help support me through this year. Also, I’ve made it so far that it’s looking like this year I will be successful! Not trying to jinx myself, but I KNOW I’ll be successful!!
Because of this and the interest that has been shown from some readers, I’ve decided to put a few items together as a wishlist. These will be my last big expenses of the trail, and would be very helpful items to receive if anyone is feeling like they want to contribute! This is an absolutely zero-pressure request, as anything that is not covered by the time I get to Portland I will just buy myself as originally planned! I have the budget for it and you guys buying these items will not make or break the success of this trip! So, that being said, here are the items!
Altra Timp Men’s running shoe, SIZE 13
These normally run $130 but in the website below there’s a 10% off code, dropping the price down to $117 total. Free shipping is included. There are other sites where the shoe is listed at $93, but they do not have size 13 in stock.
Coupon Code: 10CPN

TWO pair of Injinji Toe Socks Midweight Mini-Crew SIZE XL
These are just $15 each, but on the website below there is a 15% off coupon. Free shipping is included.
Coupon Code: SCHOOL15

Superfeet BLUE insoles, SIZE G
These are $50 each, and I’ve found no money saving way around it! Other sites may be cheaper but don’t have size G, so I just put the official Superfeet website.

Well sweet guys, there it is! One pair of the shoes, two pairs of the socks, and one pair of insoles! Thank thank you thank you in advance! I’m just already so happy that all you guys are reading my blog, and that’s already more than enough to make me happy!
Alright, so if you decide you want to buy an item, first step is to write a comment on this blog post saying that you have that item covered, and leave an email address at which you can be reached. My girlfriend Claire will be looking for your comments and e-mail addresses, and will send you an email with our home address.
Then, during checkout on the website of purchase, just enter our address as the shipping address, double check the size of the product, and also the coupon code if applicable, and please ensure that the product will arrive by August 19th at the latest.
Even if you have Claire’s phone number and can just text her or contact her in another way, please still leave a comment on the blog stating that you have the item covered. That way, multiple people don’t buy the same thing! If you see someone else has already claimed the item, thank you anyway for your thought!!
Again, thank you so much everyone for reading this blog and supporting me by doing so! I can’t wait to say that I’ve walked from Mexico to Canada!! Almost done, woo-hoo!!
