  That guy actually seems normal and is above average compared to the absolutely crazy ex-paratrooper Karl Bushby. Karl crossed the Darién Gap on foot. "Karl Bushby (born 30 March 1969) is a British ex-paratrooper, walking adventurer and author, currently attempting to be the first person to completely walk an unbroken path around the world. Bushby's trek is known as the Goliath Expedition." http://odysseyxxi.com/ http://odysseyxxi.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darién_Gap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darién_Gap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Bushby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Bushby

    Looks like a wonderful walk, or dreadful depending on what else one wants to achieve in life. I do enjoy wandering, but keep my walks local. I consistently travel on foot 70-110 miles per week (higher in summer) ~4000miles per year. It's nice being able to control one's route and very relaxing. These forced paths across the unknown require great planning and cost (not working for a year wouldn't sit well with me).

      How do you deal with rain/inclement weather? I walk about a mile one way to the train station and if it really rains I change into dry clothes once I (eventually) get to work. Hypothermia is a risk with cotton..

  Stories like this trigger the wanderlust.
