Who is this guy? This trip is going to be more challenging than ascending Mt Everest. Unless this guy is an extreme adventure hiker, this is going to end badly or he is going to quit. I hope for his sake he gives up early. If this were a trip planned by someone like Andrew Skurka, then I'd believe it, but this is a journalist with a crazy plan.
