is it possible for someone to walk that much distance while being malnourished? the article said that he scraped berries and remnants of food in trash, but 4-5 years like that? the article also mentions that he walked most of it, only occasionally getting a ride as a stowaway. this guy must have had incredible health, walking barefoot, without major sickness (infection, virus, etc), no money, no food, hardly any shelter, in shorts. i imagine the fact that he was in and around warm climate areas helped, he would not have survived if he went north or east.
- bigiain 10y agoOver 5 years - its less then 6km a day average.
- aisofteng 10y ago6 through untouched land is nothing like 6km on a paved road.

- tempestn 10y agoThe majority of the 10k miles would have been on roads though, and although he may have spent the majority of the time on foot, a significant chunk of the distance may have been in/on vehicles.
