Should have walked nights, could have done this easily in two, possibly even one.

- LorenPechtel 5y agoWhere do we have an indication of how far he had to go?
- jimnotgym 5y agoI notice the article suggests he was 20 miles from a village. That sounds walkable in a couple of nights to me, as a fat middle aged man. I am pretty sure someone used to the terrain and climate could do it in a single leg.
- xwdv 5y agoI reckon if you know exactly the direction you have to go and have some good hard ground to run on, the distance can be covered in a night at a decent pace. 20 miles is really not that far.
- LorenPechtel 5y agoBut did he know? My read is that he thought it was beyond hoofing it. 20 miles of decent terrain with my normal hiking gear I would have no problem with. Survival situation, I'd do it with a GPS and water.
