There is no way I'd do a walk this long without someone else, possibly an entourage and have at least 12 months worth of training beforehand. Including doing marathons

yeah, if you can filter out the "sned the gorp" poo poo, there is some solid hiking advice in that thread from actual hikers, who tried to tell him he was being dumb, and to scale back his pack, what he'd need for food and what nots. his responses were always "nah, i went on dayhikes, i know what i'm doing"

Sweevo posted:so the guy gave up then? 4 days and 20 something miles is how far he got. part of his reasoning was that once his cart broke (at the 6 mile mark) people stopped paying attention to him and he bacame just another faceless hiker. so basically his cart is a fedora analogue

i wasn't hiking for myself or mental illness, no, i was hiking for the cart. the cart was everything. without it, the journey was impossible. i was impossible. *ubers home* trip time: 4 days miles cart pushed: 6

I'm sure you think I'm exaggerating but the people who know me would attest to this statement. I'm also 6' 3" 200# so go ahead and call me fat rear end because that isn't true either.
