I've noticed a slight error in my research that went into this video. The route that I presented in this video still features a ferry across the Aldan River in Russia! So if you're gonna do it idk, maybe just like swim across it you know? It's probably safer than walking through some of the other countries.

No swimming is allowed hahah! It's about walking, but you can do it if you are Jesus I guess! But how do you pass the borders of each country? You should have added that too in your video! We need an updated version!

So someone named George Meegan holds the world record for longest walk and actually walked from Tierra Del Fuego to the northernmost point in Alaska in about 2,452 days, which covered about 19,019 miles.
It's shown on Google that it is the furthest someone has walked continuously on foot. A distance of 19,019 miles divide by 2,452 days equals 7.76 miles a day... Not to mention that there are some obstacles when it comes to climates, wild animals, and say bad people. But is quite impressive as he completed his journey, but taking that for so long is kinda slow in my opinion.
As someone who loves hiking/backpacking.... I kinda wanna do this ;) It could be reworked into a FEASIBLE route I think, avoiding war zones at least. Some problems can be mitigated, but not eliminated. Malaria and black mambas.... well... if you are going to travers Africa on foot, there is no way around that. But you _can_ avoid South Sudan. There is just zero realistic way you can walk across that nation safely. You have to divert around. There is a slightly longer Zambia to Tanzania to Kenya to Ethiopia route that should be a fair bit safer (without doing any real research on that route, I could be VERY wrong). The best thing you can do to mitigate risk from wildlife and mosquitos at this point? Hire good local guides for each leg of the trip. Each guide that knows the area hands you off to the next. Trust the local experts to keep you from picking a fight with a Rhino. So if you stay out of warzones and mitigate wildlife risk, this starts to look 'doable'. I also think to make it feasible you have to loosen rules on ferries. Ferry or deadly hike on foot across Sahara in Egypt? I think to be feasible you take the ferry the shortest distance possible to get you back on a safe hiking route. Syria is.... the serious problem. No real route around it. Iraq? Better, but still not safe to hike. Iran? They arrested western backpackers not long ago. So my proposal? Take a boat from Lebanon to Turkey..... and make up for it with a longer land route around the Black Sea.... go WEST around it, through Istanbul, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine, then into Russia and largely the same route you had...... But you can't avoid winter in Siberia.... so another concession is needed. I propose for the Siberian leg that a pack animal be allowed. You are still walking, but you will need a more serious shelter and stove to survive Siberia on foot. This modded route comes out to 25,228km and 5019 hrs. (3.45 years using the 20km per day estimate) Yes, some of it was 'cheating' with a ferry, but the longer route more than makes up for any walking 'saved' by taking a boat. And I cheat again by using a pack animal in Siberia... but you need a serious tent, wood stove etc to survive out there, you can walk it, but not with all the gear you need on your back. I think these fairly small tweaks make this hike vaguely possible. Then, well, if we are bending rules on boats.... charter a ship from Magadan to Anchorage.... and start heading South until you get to Tierra del Fuego.... although this route take you through the most dangerous and fearsome nation of all..... Canada ;)
This is actually a good idea. RLL just uses the assumption that you're hiking with little equipment and "live off the land". Any trip like this requires a whole lot of planning and backups. I mean he didn't say we can't use animals, so some sort of supply sled/cart is needed if we're crossing the desert/Siberia. I also favor bending the rules because it's not feasible in current circumstances to do this suicidal mission.
You can actually walk further east through Russia its just that there are no roads. Also, the Bering Strait freezes in winter and so you could theoretically cross from Russia to the USA (2 guys crossed in 2006). That allows you to continue your journey all the way through to Cape Froward in Chile, the southernmost point in South America mainland. Although you would have to contend with the Darian Gap, an extremely dangerous patch of the rainforest with no roads and dense rainforest where foreigners have been killed in the past. But then again you would probably be dead long before you reach it. The estimated trip according to google maps would be 46,124km and at 20km a day this 'walk' would take you about 6 years and 4 months

This video weirdly gives me the motivation to keep walking instead of using any kind of transportation (bus, car, bicycle) to commute from home to work/store, or just simply new distance challenge everyday.

I've done the search too, but with slight modifications that made it near 14,380 miles just trying to avoid being in Syria for long and around large rivers in Russia
Theoretically, if you plan ahead and with perfect weather conditions, you could continue your trip (from Siberia to Alaska) by walking over solid ice in winter. From there, you could walk all the way to the southern tip of South America. 😁
Interestingly enough, you could probably go much further than this if you took google maps out of the equation and made it so that you could walk across ice. If you were to pack enough equipment and had enough help, one could theoretically walk past Magadon, all the way to the eastern most point of Russia, and if you arrived during the height of winter, there’s a chance that the Bearing Straight could freeze over and you could walk all the way to Alaska, and then hypothetically be able to walk all the way down to Punta Arenes in Chile. (You would also have to cross the Darian Gap in Panama, but many people have done it before)
I'll do it with you, just double that distance all the way to the southernmost tip of Chile/Argentina :) Just that the Darien Gap, the Far East Siberian mountains, and the Bering Strait would pose the greatest obstacles of the journey. There's even a huge river at the end of the Darien Gap in Colombia so yeah, gotta somehow cross that on foot. 🤔
I'm Zimbabwean and I've never seen a black mamba and yes, I frequent the bush whilst at the farm. Plus my dad is a trained snake hander and he hasn't seen it🤷🏾♂️
Well we killed about 2 in my life but only in the rural bushes .Lower Gwelo ( school days) and Kwekwe but you right They not so much there as people think . we designed to kill snakes if we see one
Fun fact: if someone started this journey the day this video was uploaded, and finished in RLL's aproximate time without any problems, he would not be done yet
XU LILY Yeah but you would have to walk like 2 or 3000 km in Siberia and Alaska on no roads (in the winter) and theres also no roads connecting South and North America so you would be dead
Well yeah sure, but stopping on little diomede where there is a town to rest before crossing into mainland Alaska. Under ideal conditions you should be able to reach little diomede in about 3 days. And reach mainland Alaska in 2 days

The Joker but by god we had to walk through snow ice roasting deserts raging winds salt flats ferocious beasts rivers running at light speed when the mantle rose up from beneath the ground tornadoes going at the speed of sound and cracks in the earths suface
So it just has to exclude the Middle East, most of Africa and probably all of it since you can't go through the Middle East, and the Arctic Circle & Siberia. I made a route from Gibraltar, Spain, to Ca Mau Vietnam that had a few other stops along the way to go around the war ravaged bits of the Middle East, and it was about 17,000 KM, which is still a lot shorter than the walk in this video, and you still have to walk through the desert of Kazakhstan, but I reckon it may be survivable. Google, 6 Travelers Who Walked Around The World, a lot of these people walked even longer than the walk in this video is, they just didn't meet the beginning of the video requirements.
I done the math and calculated that if you ran at 5.84 mph (which google says is the average run speed of an adult male) it would take 102 days of straight running to make this journey and you would burn around 2 million calories not including the uphill and downhill areas for extra strain. Imagine how your legs would feel if you could feel them
This walk will be extremely difficult but not nearly as difficult as you make it seem to be. A trained person could walk more than 50 km a day without many problems. If you would rest 2 days a week you still could finish in 2 years Wildlife like black mumba and hippo are dangerous but won't attack humans without a reason so just be careful and stay on the road. You can protect yourself against malaria with malaria pills and anti insect precautions. Desserts and other extremely hot/cold/wet/dry places are harder to walk trough but also totally possible with the right preparations. The biggest problems are countries like south Sudan and Syria, these countries are really dangerous to walk through especially for foreigners.
The biggest obstacle is legal. Not all countries grant extended visas needed to walk on them. Russia alone grants only 90 days visa. You can't walk the necesary distance on that time frame.
Anyone willing to complete this journey on foot with a camera crew could make the greatest reality show ever. My eyes would be glued to it, even though I find the vast majority of reality tv uninteresting in general.
It's sad that the world's longest walking distance is actually super dangerous because it goes through several war zones full of people who won't hesitate to kill a foreign civilian. Although the malaria and mamba risk are close seconds.
Exactly. Realistically, it's only possible to reach Tanzania/Uganda. After that, there's too many national parks with violent animals, wars and a huge empty desert to travel through. However, I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that someone walked from South America to Alaska which is pretty impressive
Everyone's a speed running gangsta until they get malaria, survive a bite of a black mamba, avoid the anarchy of South Sudan, scorch themselves through the Sahara, make it through the Syrian Civil War, only to freeze to death in the Siberian tundra.
Well if make it even 10km/8 hrs and rest for the other 16 hrs and repeat this every day the most it would take would be 6 years and you would certainly get a world record...
Longest route idea: start in Cape Town, South Africa and hug the western coast of Africa till Morocco where you cross the strait of Gibraltar into Europe. Walk across Europe then into Turkey. From there, either go into Azerbaijan then straight through Russia or go through all of the middle east (once again along the coast line of the nearest body of water), walk along the Indian ocean coast line, through China then into Russia. From Russia, cross the bearing straight into north America, walk through Alaska, Canada,The US and Mexico then cross the Panama Canal. Get through the Amazon rainforest and end the walk in Terria de Fuego in Chile
trying to calculate odds of how you're going to be randomly killed is pretty tough, do we even have a 50% of surviving the next 4 years with so many unknown factors that could present themselves?
@@kamkam1a334 probably less especially if you're travelling solo. Trying to walk across the Sahara is a death sentence. That and walking through Siberia are probably the most sure fire ways to die on this route.
YOSee Steve true, there’s a hug percent that you’ll probably die before completely the two states, since the cities are really dangerous, if you do survive the dangerous cities miraculously, you probably wouldn’t survive the scorching sun or the animals, like the black mamba, but you’re right, it’ll be worse if you’re alone, so maybe like 1%, 2% 🤨
3 years is actually such a short amount of time compared to how long you would think it'd take. when you put it into that perspective, it makes it clear how humanity spread so far so quickly across the planet after various groups migrated out of africa
Why do you have to walk through shithole countries of ancient kangz, why no walk through Europe. It would be far less dangerous to walk through all major cultural cities of Europe and set a path to maximize that. RLL, I don't wann get killed by insurgents, hippos and malaria. :(

123 km elevation change up and back down again is actually surprisingly low considering the length of the walk. It's roughly an average gradient of 1%. in my country it's hard to find such an even path, although we have rather flat areas too. But probably not as flat as most deserts.

If you were to pack enough equipment and had enough help, one could theoretically walk past Magadon, all the way to the eastern most point of Russia, and if you arrived during the height of winter, there’s a chance that the Bearing Straight could freeze over and you could walk all the way to Alaska, and then hypothetically be able to walk all the way down to Punta Arenes in Chile. (You would also have to cross the Darian Gap in Panama, but many people have done it before)
Some people fleeing from São Paulo Brazil to the U.S. did it.

I'll do it with you, just double that distance all the way to the southernmost tip of Chile/Argentina :) Just that the Darien Gap, the Far East Siberian mountains, and the Bering Strait would pose the greatest obstacles of the journey.

Can you make a 'Longest Actually Survivable Walk, which doesn't consider dying the second you get out of your house'?
@Pedro Hauari *Bed to your mailbox. People die on their way to school
regenpower Nothing is survivable if you think about it... I could die walking to the bathroom
Ill clarify even further
So it just has to exclude the Middle East, most of Africa and probably all of it since you can't go through the Middle East, and the Arctic Circle & Siberia. I made a route from Gibraltar, Spain, to Ca Mau Vietnam that had a few other stops along the way to go around the war ravaged bits of the Middle East, and it was about 17,000 KM, which is still a lot shorter than the walk in this video, and you still have to walk through the desert of Kazakhstan, but I reckon it may be survivable. Google, 6 Travelers Who Walked Around The World, a lot of these people walked even longer than the walk in this video is, they just didn't meet the beginning of the video requirements.
I done the math and calculated that if you ran at 5.84 mph (which google says is the average run speed of an adult male) it would take 102 days of straight running to make this journey and you would burn around 2 million calories not including the uphill and downhill areas for extra strain.
Imagine how your legs would feel if you could feel them
This walk will be extremely difficult but not nearly as difficult as you make it seem to be.
A trained person could walk more than 50 km a day without many problems. If you would rest 2 days a week you still could finish in 2 years
Wildlife like black mumba and hippo are dangerous but won't attack humans without a reason so just be careful and stay on the road.
You can protect yourself against malaria with malaria pills and anti insect precautions.
Desserts and other extremely hot/cold/wet/dry places are harder to walk trough but also totally possible with the right preparations.
The biggest problems are countries like south Sudan and Syria, these countries are really dangerous to walk through especially for foreigners.
Can we walk around it ? It increases the distance but can keep you alive
Wtf arw you captain of walking, African wildlife, geo political issues AND geography?
The biggest obstacle is legal. Not all countries grant extended visas needed to walk on them. Russia alone grants only 90 days visa. You can't walk the necesary distance on that time frame.

Suicide with extra steps, cause your walking the distance!
It's sad that the world's longest walking distance is actually super dangerous because it goes through several war zones full of people who won't hesitate to kill a foreign civilian. Although the malaria and mamba risk are close seconds.
Exactly. Realistically, it's only possible to reach Tanzania/Uganda. After that, there's too many national parks with violent animals, wars and a huge empty desert to travel through. However, I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that someone walked from South America to Alaska which is pretty impressive
Just wait people will start speed running this.

Longest route idea: start in Cape Town, South Africa and hug the western coast of Africa till Morocco where you cross the strait of Gibraltar into Europe. Walk across Europe then into Turkey. From there, either go into Azerbaijan then straight through Russia or go through all of the middle east (once again along the coast line of the nearest body of water), walk along the Indian ocean coast line, through China then into Russia. From Russia, cross the bearing straight into north America, walk through Alaska, Canada,The US and Mexico then cross the Panama Canal. Get through the Amazon rainforest and end the walk in Terria de Fuego in Chile

@@kamkam1a334 probably less especially if you're travelling solo. Trying to walk across the Sahara is a death sentence. That and walking through Siberia are probably the most sure fire ways to die on this route.
YOSee Steve true, there’s a hug percent that you’ll probably die before completely the two states, since the cities are really dangerous, if you do survive the dangerous cities miraculously, you probably wouldn’t survive the scorching sun or the animals, like the black mamba, but you’re right, it’ll be worse if you’re alone, so maybe like 1%, 2% 🤨
