Stringbean tells the story of ultrarunner Joe McConaughy as he attempts to break the speed record on the Appalachian Trail. It takes most hikers 5-6 months to complete the 2,190-mile-long trail, but in the summer of 2017, Joe set out to hike it in 45 days. This short documentary offers a raw look at life on the trail from Joe’s perspective, as he tries to hike 50 miles a day for 45 consecutive days on America's most iconic long trail.

**An error in our credits has been pointed out to us and we'd like to apologize. It should read "Pa'lante Packs." During his hike, Joe was using the "Joey" pack from Pa'lante and was a huge fan. As he puts it, "they are the guru of ultra-light packs." Anyone looking for durable and thoughtfully made hiking packs should check them out at https://palantepacks.com/ **
