Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Hayduke Trail is named after George Hayduke, a fictional eco-saboteur from Edward Abbey's 'The Monkey Wrench Gang'—fitting for a route that basically vandalizes your will to live.
Maier shot this entirely solo with consumer gear, making it part of a growing micro-genre where suffering becomes content and every near-death experience is potential viral gold.
