It was not one continuous hike. He takes frequent breaks. But travels back to where he last stopped and continues.

Given that he literally swam across the Caspian Sea in order to avoid Russia and Iran because of legal issues, nevermind bring imprisoned in Russia due to what sounded like bureaucratic BS, it's more impressive than I first thought.

I'm saying this as someone who enlisted in the defense of said nations once. Most of the structures that make up a country these days are for the birds - let a guy hike for chrissake.

We have bigger problems than normal folks just trying to live their lives.
