In the world of long-distance adventures, this guy Andrew Skurka sure ranks up there. The dude is what one might call a professional backpacker. I love that there even is such a thing because it gives me the vague daydream that I might do that some day.
Kristen Pope writes in Vagabonding:
This summer, he is hiking the Great Western Loop, a 6,875 mile loop of the Western United States that has him scheduled to log between 30 and 37.5 miles per day. He is hiking through 12 National Parks, 75 wilderness areas, and passing through many areas that could be deeply affected by global warming. He is hoping to raise awareness of the ecological damage global warming would cause.
That’s pretty awesome. While he’s not a videoblogger, per se, I’m psyched he does have cool videos. They do the trick. Also, check out this vid JourneyFilm made about his journey:
