Odd that someone wants to walk across a continent yet stay so connected - to what? Facebook friends and twitter - its a long electronic tether for this guy. Methinks he is more concerned with staying connected with $ponsors and contributor$, which is sorta sad given the extent of his trek. He don't know the firs thing about going walkabout.

Its a stunt and a pretty miserable one. Vegas odds give him 500 miles, or to the China border whichever comes first. The Russian tundra will either kill him or have him wiring for his helicopter rescue.
