In the very loose meaning of “can walk”. This road crosses several dangerous areas for multiple reasons, from war and jungles, to deserts and tundra, not to mention all the visas you’d need.
There’s a guy on Youtube who crossed the entire length of Africa on foot. Got kidnapped twice IIRC.
Russ Cook.
I really don’t understand Americans and their racial stuff. Why white?
Best way I can explain American’s “fixation” on race is that our country’s history is based on the attempt to create a racist white utopia through law (slavery, ethnic cleansing, manifest destiny, segregation, Jim Crow, private prisons etc.).
Many of the historical debates, protests, rebellions, riots, and wars we’ve had were largely surrounding the issue of racial equality. And… it never went away because racist white people have evolved their political tactics. They still want “the South to rise again”, they still want “to Make American Great Again”, they still want segregation, slavery, and woman subordination.
You might be thinking, “it’s not that serious”, but the mere fact that America is becoming the de facto Nazi Regime of the West now says it all. Hitler was deeply inspired by America’s Jim Crow laws and used it as a platform to address “the Jewish Question”. But, White American’s racism didn’t just materialize out of nothing. It’s descendant of Western Imperialism and Colonialism that was being exported across the globe by Europeans who had finally come to a geopolitical status quo on their continent after checks notes thousands of years of fighting over whose nation and religion is better.
TL;DR: American’s being fixated on race is just the next phase of geopolitical infighting that came after thousands of years of Europeans fixating on nationality and religion, both of which are becoming less relevant each day than one’s ethnic and cultural identity.
If I can average 1.5km/hr with gear at 9hr/day this hike will take 4.5 years.
1.5km/h is super slow, no?
It’s probably on the low end. Gear weight, elevation change, rough terrain, and breaks will affect overall speed.
you have to consider that humans need rest sometimes
Experienced hikers average a greater speed than that even if you average it over 24 hours, so including sleeping time. Someone who can only walk 15km (that’s slightly more than averaging 1.5km/h for 9 hours) a day would never go on a journey like that, and even if they did, they’d be much faster after a few weeks. So there’s no situation where that calculation makes sense.
My estimate wasn’t great, but I’m also thinking about mountain hikes with gear covering large elevation changes in respect to my quoted speed. I guess the varied terrain would averaging things out.
This is the road our grandparents used to walk to get to school if the stories they tell are true…
That’s what they meant by “uphill both ways”. Probably referring to having to cross the equator twice. This makes so much sense now.
Bruh fuck no, I’m gonna die in South Sudan if I walk this.
That whole middle east area is getting fucked by Israel. They will target you for fun, regardless of skin color.
The part through Israel is by far the safest section of this trail.
