People really will find any excuse to leave ohio
I wouldn't count a multiple day walk as a single walk.
When you get to sleep, it starts a new walk.
Otherwise I have been having a walk for my entire life.
I'd argue that if it's conceived of as a journey with a set end point - "I'm going to walk from Vancouver to Toronto", by way of example - you could consider it a single walk. If you're just walking everyday without a set end point in mind, I'd agree with you.
Maybe 'journey by foot' is the better phrase here, idk.
It would be a white guy in the 1980s. “Yeah the world isn’t that terrible”
Dudes don’t even have to think twice walking to their car at night.
Did you read the post? Seems like he did have to think twice.
Absofuckinglutely, imagine being black and walking through rural counties in the US much less other countries. The average person "might" leave you alone but the police absolutely will not.
Most life-changing discovery: make videos of yourself bumming around the world and total strangers will send you money.
Bro had no enemies, what a madlad
Sounds like an average playthrough of STALKER.
Well yeah, the world and by extension your life is mostly harmless. It's quite the statistical anomaly when you do get harmed but it's not to say it's impossible.
People do tend to get stuck in that awareness of chance of harm and often over prescribe it to certain parts to keep up the fear. That's probably cause people are also mostly stupidly uninformed.
Damn, I don't think that's mildly interesting at all. That's a book I want to read

The book in question. He was housed by over 400 families while on his walk.
Wow even the guy that wanted to be the man that fell down at your door only walked 1000 miles. This is pretty hardcore.
Probably just really wanted to escape Ohio.
On April 14, 1970, during an 11g slingshot maneuver on the remote side of the moon on the Apollo 13 mission, Astronaut Jim Lovell achieved what every other person born in Ohio has always dreamed of:
Getting as far away as humanly possible.
Going to be a lot more of those next year.
Petition to rename this epic journey as "The Walk For The Ages".
I want a book, movie, and an epic ballad with at least a dozen dozen stanzas!
"I just gotta see this for myself."
Despite the horrid things that occur in this world, I do believe that people are fundamentally good and want to do good for the people around them. The people that do evil things were not born that way.
I've been a bunch of places all over the world and I would agree. The world isn't terrible.
All the assholes who live in it however...
How many roads must a man walk down?
I think it's an amazing story that he was able to find his way back home after walking such a long distance!
There were bandits in 1987??
Still are in some parts of the world. Less arrows and swords more guns and machetes
Forest Gump?
SIR, YES SIR.
Walk... Hhard
How do we define a walk? Because I've almost certainly covered that distance in my life, and I've even slept outside and fended off bandits, sort of.
