- eggsmediumrare 5y agoI have walked 30km in 8 hours and it wasn't even that hard. A tough as nails hunter gatherer who has been walking and hunting and sleeping rough his entire life could probably cover hundreds of kilometers in a hunting trip.
- animal531 5y agoSure, and you spent how much of that time looking out for predators, unfamiliar terrain, only on animal trails, other non-friendly groups of people etc? We all know humans can run all day long, but the point is that it wasn't as easy then, and if it wasn't necessary then they probably wouldn't have taken the risk.
