And he didn’t even have wheels on his trailer. Hats off to the guy, what a challenge.

WOW!!!
This is amazing. I just finished watching a YT series about a Triple Crown thru-hike (PCT, CDT & AT) and was stunned by the exertion and (mostly weather) conditions but THIS adventure... That's just something I can't really understand or imagine. And the last push of 80 miles in Antarctica??? Huh... Completely speachless!

And yes @RobertS26 , no bars, no mochila service etc.

Very impressive! He carried all his food too. Seems to me I'd need a second sled just to carry my Pulpo...

Fascinating, isn't it? My husband and I were talking about this this morning and all I could think of was, now THAT'S a Camino. Hats off for sure.

You are hilarious! Off topic, but you need to participate in the "NOT a serious thread"!

I thought we Camino addicts on this forum were the only "nuts in the cupboard", but that guy makes us look quite normal.

Please define normal nuts in the cupboard

I'm "planning" my Camino-Voyage for almost 4 months now, and what I have learned from reading several forums and taking a pilgrims-meetup here in Germany / Paderborn that the Camino de Santiago is about the way and you.

The only things, that were planned by me so far, is the flight to Bayonne. No reservations in Hotels / Hostels / Albergues. I will have 36 days just to walk and get back to home, "planning" 31 days/stages on the Camino. Even the flight back is not booked in forward by me.

I think that every step, every hour on the Camino will do it's best to leave an impression on me and the people walking the camino.
