You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere, they won't make it home, but they really don't care...
Could it be a Fastball reference...? Hmm...

They'll have two kids along the way too.
Fun fact: If you were able to cross the Bering Straight then the only thing that would keep this road from reaching Argentina would be the Darien Gap, a stretch of dense rainforest that separates Panama from Colombia. Unfortunately it's one of the most inhospitable places on Earth!
If I can average v km/hr with gear at x hr/day this hike will take 22387/v/x/365 years.
As long as you film it and put it on the internet, why not!
- V * X = km per day
- 22387 / (V * X) = number of days needed
- 22387 / (V * X * 365) = number of years
Walking 8 hrs a day, at a leisurely 7 km/hr, can do it in about a year.
This would take over 187 days if you didn't have to stop to sleep.
So I walked the Pacific Crest Trail in 106 days. That's 2650mi/4264km so I walked about 25mi/40km per day.
So if I could maintain that pace (which is debatable because the PCT doesn't go through different countries or warzones) this would take me 557 days, or about 18 months.
They say it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become an expert at something. You'd have to walk this road about 2 and a half times just to become an expert at walking.
I believe that goes through the Road of Bones in Siberia. From what I saw of Long Way Round (where Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman ride around the world on motorcycles), it's not really a road much of the year. You wouldn't want to walk it in the winter for obvious reasons. You also wouldn't want to walk it in the warmer seasons, because the snow melts and floods the road.
It's only a road in the sense that Google Maps marks it as one.
The documentary simply couldn't continue on the planned route, and they hucked it over to Alaska early on. That was after putting up with some shit ass mud in and around Mongolia where they were dropping their bikes every 10 feet (and I am not exaggerating).
What’s the road?
Smith Street
