But how feasible would it be for me to just... Walk to Alaska. For reference I'm not a very athletic person, I'm a bit overweight and out of shape honestly. I've never in my life even slept outdoors, or walked more than an hour away from my home. But I'm pretty open minded, open to a bit of suffering, and really desperate to just... leave my situation and change myself in some pretty dramatic ways. I think I might die if I don't do this. But what are the odds that I die if I do? There's a lot of concerns, like starving to death in the middle of nowhere. Getting robbed / murdered / kidnapped. Being assailed by some wild animal. Any other number of things. Getting really sick, freezing to death in the middle of the night. There's obviously a lot that goes into... traveling outside. Living without locally available resources to sustain me. But... how feasible is this really? If I was willing to sacrifice almost everything.I know this is probably really stupid but try to have an open mind and maybe give me any advice or things I should be thinking about / learning.For reference, I'm sitting on only about 3000 dollars of savings. A bit more once I've sold all of my belongings.
>>2903790>what are the odds that I die if I do?Accept it. Accept you might die and get angry that that thought tries to cow you into backing down.I went through the same thing. I flew to Pakistan and bought a motorcycle to spend 3 months riding around the country. I spent three days just looking at the motorbike and having very oddly real nightmares about dying on the trip until I got angry at the fear itself that was trying to get me to cower and run away. I finally confronted the fear and said >I don't fucking care. If I die, I die - I'm doing itI literally had a sense of euphoria that lasted about two years after I finished that trip because I learned I could overcome the fear of death. I could be convinced I'd die and still walk forward.I strongly feel your need to just walk. That impulse has been with me for years and depending on how I feel in life, it overwhelms me. It is beautiful and it is ancient. That compulsion to walk the earth is atavism - your ancestors have done it throughout your genetic history and now it is calling you. You should not be asking if you could die - of course you could but in doing the walk anyway you truly love and grow out if the person you are, becoming a new, stronger man. It is a rite of passage, a means to metamorphosis. Accept it's mortal danger, if it wasn't dangerous it wouldn't be so profoundly life changing. You are choosing it because you know how big it is. Do it.One practical tip I will give you - the first 2 weeks will feel chaotic, you won't know what you're doing or if what you're doing is right. You will doubt yourself - keep pushing through those first two weeks and you will find if you just hold the space outside your comfort zone, you will have seized that new territory. You will develop a routine, this wild, odd adventure you are doing will have a sense of rhythm and normality. Just hold it.
>>2903790>But what are the odds that I die if I do?If you die, you die.Would you rather die at 75 years old after 20 years of battling cancer and 10 years of losing your sight?
You intend to refuse all rides offered to you? Oddly enough I dreamt of a hutchhiking vagabond trip to Alaska right before waking up and seeing this post. In my dream all the towns up there had vast campgrounds full of summertime adventurers who drank and screwed without a care.
>>2903790for what?
>>2903790Somewhat feasible if you walk about 20 miles a day. But once you get to the northern parts of Canada, you'll have no place to sleep or get food and you'll be fully exposed to nature (bears). A lifelong hiker with proper equipment could be fine. You'd die unless you hitchhike. Which might also kill you.And in the US, you'd be walking along highways. There's a good chance a cop would stop you. Someone who isn't paying attention will probably also mow you down and kill you.
>>2903821He would get denied at the Canadian border. There's no way they let him in. They're strict as hell.
>>2903790>This might sound unhinged...where do you think you arepic rel>>2903824can't you just wear blackface?
>>2903790You'll probably get tired of it before you'd have reached Indiana state borders. At least get a bicycle which will be slow enough still with the baggage you'd have to carry.
>>2903821can hitchhiking really lead to death nowadays? never done it
>>2904261No, media just made everyone paranoid of help and strangers with statistically miniscule cases that were always happening, so as to socially isolate people and racemonger/gendermonger society against cohesion.If you're worried, carry pepper spray, or a knife.
>>2903795>overcome the fear of death.dude you went to fucking pakistan. it's not like you were trying to, idk, cross the libyan sahara during the civl war
You'll stop in IA or MN, for sure dakota because the map doesn't do it justice how big those places are.Canada would full stop not allow it since they don't let people walk up to it outside specific border crossings like that weird on in Washington and I think one in Maine. You would basically need to be a celeb with a track record of doing these things to maybe be let by.The biggest problem is that you only have a short window to do this, ND doesn't unfreeze till mid april usually then there is the rest of canada. Unless you can live off the land, lol no can do.The whole "I FEAR NO DEATH KEK" thing is pointless because everyone here would have a wake up call on the edge of and truly rural place on the length it would be the farther you go and give up.
>>2904286>everyone here would have a wake up call on the edge of and truly rural place on the length it would be the farther you go and give up.Karl Bushby wouldn't.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Bushby
>>2904291>everyone hereI don't think Karl Bushby posts on this niche basketweaving forum
>>2904295You can't know that.
>>2903790Just take a plane lol
>>2904312Do you have any proof that he does post here, retard.
>>2904274>dude you went to fucking pakistan. it's not like you were trying to, idk, cross the libyan sahara during the civl warI rode a motorbike alone across the country (mostly Northern Territories) without a motorcycle license or much experience. I was getting nightmares I was gonna die but decided to do it anyway. What's the problem with that? Spell it out for me.
>>2904382it just isn't nearly dangerous enough to shit yourself over it
>>2904413Lol. Guy who only goes to Pattaya every few years
