In 2015, three young thru-hikers created the 'Packing It Out' project along the Appalachian Trail, where they journeyed 2,189 miles and packed out over 1,090 pounds of trash. Last year, the team moved on to the Pacific Crest Trail. This year, in partnership with REI and GearJunkie, the crew will bicycle over 5,000 miles across the United States to meet with local cleanup crews to Pack It Out from scenic trails. Follow Seth & Abby here, from April until September, as they bike from Cumberland Island, Georgia to the Pacific Coast of Washington.

@PackingItOut On Instagram
I spy a Cap hiding in the lush greenery of the North Carolina roadside. What's he doing?
