#NBCNews #Hiking #Trail
source
I hope there's a path just for electric mono cycles . 😊
Making up things to claim more things. Kinda like these kids claiming to be him/flip flops.
This is exciting!
Why is he not thinner
That would be a remarkable feat! God bless you.
It's not a "Perimeter" trail. That would entail walking down the coastline and the southern border, Good luck with that. He just started…. well he'll loose the gut.
How did he not add in the Ice Age Trail? Good on him though 👍
3 years?!
I want to go
He walked 14,000 miles out in the open in America without once being shot?
14,000 what? 14,000 steps. I know it’s not 14,000 miles..
Wow
Livin the dream
No taxpayers dollars need to be spent on this guys vision. As soon as he mentions government organizations to assist him its game over. He needs to get a real job, alot of so called non profits are legalized tax evasion schemes.
“The hard part now, doing it again”
F no
This would be pretty cool in concept until you walk the southern border from Texas to California and are having to deal with all the illegal immigrants, and drug smugglers.
Why not hike every trail already built before building another path that takes more rffoet to maintain.
National trail system?
We’ll need them when the music starts.
So awesome
14,000 what lol. Title doesnt say. Steps? Inches? Feet? Miles?
Man walks 14,000 what? Feet? Centimeters? Inches? NBC needs more diversity in its newsroom. Hire a few smart people to balance out your idiots.
I hit 14000 daily on my fitbit

Wow
I think your title is missing a letter
Found a little more about him. His name is Rue McKenrick and there’s a YouTube channel called The Backpacking Podcast and he’s featured on episode 157.
His willpower goes without saying but the logistics has got to be incredibly difficult. Amazing.
Makes me want to pack up and hike it for a few years
I walked 250 miles in 10 days at Ft. Berthold N.D. 6 years in a row let me tell you it was tough
This is so cool but how/what does he eat??!😅
So amazing!
That's so cool
Now thats a news story worth telling.
Cheers and respect to all thru-hikers ✌️
I would like to chime in that they leave rails alongside railroads because rail trails dissipate our ability to make economical future commute by rail. And keep railroad bridges the way they are with built in safe walkable siding instead .
Wow,, he seems so normal too
Nice❤
There were people walking like that before cards existed
