The Backpacking 10×10×10 Challenge has now raised $9,001 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital — leaving just $999 between us and the $10,000 goal we set when this crazy adventure began.
For those finding us for the first time, Backpacking 10×10×10 was our attempt to backpack 10 miles in 10 different states over 10 consecutive days, raising money for the kids of St. Jude along the way.
Now we need to figure out how to raise the FINAL $999.
And this time, we want YOUR ideas.
Another challenge? A livestream? A special reward? Something ridiculous? 999 people giving $1?
Tell us in the comments: What should DMS Adventures do to raise the final $999?
There’s also a finish line. Our 10×10×10 videos began June 27, right at the beginning of summer, and we’ve said we would probably close the fundraiser when summer ends.
☀️ September 22, 2026.
So that's the challenge:
$9,001 → $10,000 $999 to go. Before summer ends.
Ye’ Faithful Few got us this far. Let's figure out how to finish it together.

But which state was actually the BEST?
After completing our Backpacking 10×10×10 Challenge, we decided it was finally time to rank every state we experienced along the way.
But instead of simply picking our favorites, all three of us independently scored each state from 1–10 in five categories:
🥾 Trail Experience — How much did we enjoy the actual hiking? 🏞️ Scenery — How beautiful and memorable was the landscape? ⛺ Camping Experience — How much did we enjoy where we spent the night? 🚙 Travel Experience — Because getting from state to state was a huge part of this adventure too. 🔄 Would We Go Back? — Knowing what we know now, how badly do we want to return?
We averaged all three of our scores to create one final ranking.
And it was CLOSE.
Only 0.3 points separated our #1 and #2 states.
From Indiana to Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky and Ohio, every stop gave us a completely different experience—and some of the final rankings genuinely surprised us.
So which state came out on top?
Watch as we count them down from #10 all the way to #1.
And when you're finished, tell us in the comments:
Which of these 10 states would YOU put at #1?
