Plennie Wingo walked from Santa Monica to Istanbul–backwards!

Not so sure on how he walked across The Big Pond.

I am not sure if that person did it but you can indeed walk most of the world without the aid of a single plane or ship for the journey itself. Karl Busby is already 17,000 miles into his 36,000 mile goal to walk from South America to his home in England. That isn’t a typo. He really is walking the whole way completely honestly and has already made it from Chile across the Bering Strait into Russia which would be the biggest logistical obstacle for most people. Now he just has to walk across all of Asia and Europe to get home. I am not sure how he plans to get from France to England. I suppose he could swim like many have done or maybe walk through the Chunnel. He included South America, North America, Asia, and Europe in his walking tour. However, he could also putt around Africa if he wanted as well because there is a land route via the Middle East. It’s a small world after all.

BTW, by food drops I didn’t mean airborne packages floating from the sky, but organized shipments of food to specific destinations, custom made for your light travel. In small towns, you will probably not be able to find dehydrated foods, which would be essential to carry enough food to sustain you for the times that you have several days without proper shelter / food.

Wow, shows how much I know. When I read ‘Food Drops’ I was thinking, “wow, I never knew they had a food supplement that you could consume in drop form”. I pictured some guy with a little bottle like food coloring comes in, shaking a couple of drops into his mouth for his days nourishment. :smack:
