Matt Grooms: This is day 149 walking.
Grace Nesseth: We started on October 2nd, though.
JM: Did you take any Zero Days? (A zero day is a term used for thru-hiking which means: Any day when you’re not gaining mileage toward the end of the trail; often this is resupply day where you lay over in a nearby town.)
Yeah, yeah, we have taken zero days. We used to take one after every 100 miles, and then we had to take ten during a snow storm in Arkansas. We also take days of for tornado warnings and any other bad weather. But other than that, we haven’t taken many.
