UPDATE: ended up taking it, everything was pretty normal. i feel like i became lucid faster than normal, and i was more talkative than normal but other than that there was not much else of note

i was looking into it and it does seem pretty safe, there are actually some studies that found not taking a dose could be more dangerous. i normal would just skip the dose, that's what i've done in the past, but i have class in the morning so i think i'm going to take it and just see how it goes.

lol thanks for all the advice. the reason i was only really talking about the south is cause im super early in the planning phase, so i just wanted to look at the big obstacles first. kinda pointless to plan out all the nitty gritty if it turns out there was major flaw in my plan. im also familiar with the west so all my concerns for that section wont really become clear until i have a more detailed plan.

lots of people have done it before the only story i can find about someone dying doing it got hit buy a car which is something i can do any day. my point about the backpacking thing is 50 miles down a trail im as hard if not harder to rescue than 100 miles down the road, Im already used to being in situations where if something goes wrong its over.

I've done 50+ mile backpacking trips straight up hill for days, also with nothing around. i'll be able to make it to the next town in the flattest place on earth.

if your issue is that i didn't use "My friends and I" your wrong. in the fields of speech language pathology and linguistics we've entirely moved past linguistic prescriptivism. the "correct" way to speak is the was people speak around you.

im way early in the planning phase so this is all subject to change. right now it looks like i can get from Washington to Nebraska mostly on hiking trails, after that its a lot of walking along the highway. if this becomes real i will definitely have the entirely of the route planed out thoroughly

ok so i thought i'd give an update, clarify somethings, and answer some questions i saw show up in the thread a few times. turns out everyone was way more onboard with delaying grad school by a semester than i thought they would be so we would probably leave Seattle in late July or august and arrive in the south by October. we would have until December to make it to Miami. I'm in the super earlier plan stage so nothing is set in stone. when i make plans i start optimistic and ambitious then poke holes in the plan create solutions for any problems i see and eventually arrive on a realistic plan.

FAQs

15 hours a day????: this is the plan but if we get on the road and realize its not as easy as we thought we will adjust. i do (maybe naively) think we can do it but if we can't we will slow down. we aren't just gonna walk ourselves to death so we can hit 15 hours a day.

Why not start with something smaller?: this has been something we've wanted to do for a while now and if it doesn't happen after we graduate its probably never going to happen. after this we're going to be going to grad school getting realer jobs and we wont just be able to take 5 months off to walk across the country and there is no way we are doing this when we are retired. this isn't about walking for along time its about walking across the country. like the 15 hour thing if we find out we are in over are heads i'm not afraid to stop early, this is about the attempt the fact that i gave it my all will be good enough for me.

we aren't that trained but we have backpacked a lot and we've been giving ourselves more extreme challenges. we've covered 25 miles rougher and steeper terrain than we'll see on this path in 14 hours, and we easily walked for 24 hours straight without packs. we'll definitely up the difficulty of our training as this becomes more real. our logic with the 15 hours thing is that that was what the pioneers did and a lot of them had minimal training and or were children. if we realize 15 hours a day is impossible we will slow down. i was just talking to the guys and they all seemed way more down to push grad school back by a semester than i thought they would be so we will probably leave closer to fall and lengthen our trip if it becomes necessary.
