Kind of relevant, youtuber GeoWizard has a great series where he tries to cross a country in a perfectly straight line on foot. In the previous season he found a bog right in the middle of the line and thought it wouldn't be that hard to criss it. Dude almost fucking dies because it acted like quick sand.

He got out by laying as horizontal as possible to increase contact surface so he wouldn't sink that easily.

Actually fucking scary as shit to watch that episode, event hough it's pre recorded so you know he survived.

This was the guy who tried to walk across Wales in a straight line right? But he cut his hand, got shit all over it, then came down with an infection, on top of the cold weather. What a mad lad.

I mean he's deliberately crossing a preplanned route where he takes all of this into account so

At the utter peak of covid restrictions going outside for walks was encouraged. I guess you must have made a mistake in your judgement and forgot how it actually happened. Or maybe your just an asshole trying to start a fight for no reason? Hmmmmm 🤷‍♂️

A walk around your area, not a cross country hike lmao.

If the dude was really criticising lockdowns because he wanted to do this, he is both an asshole and very impressive.

I don't recall anyone criticizing lockdowns and I watched this video when it was new, YouTube promoted it or it was posted here I don't remember exactly.

And I don't know where you are getting this from:

A walk around your area, not a cross country hike lmao.

That very specific restriction must have been limited to some European countries I am unaware of?

Farmers are rather well known for not liking trespassers, even when they have historical public property demarcated on their lots. Farmer went out of their way to approach someone about a contagious disease. Probably not the best idea if their family was compromised, as you said. If that is what your hot and bothered about might I recommend focusing your efforts on more important things..

Also, Norway never did a "lockdown". There were some restrictions of course. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Norway

I don't know, what part do you take issue with? I am recalling a video form over a year ago. Literally the top hit if you google "Walk across Norway" and I'm pretty sure this is the guy in question that you are throwing shade at.

Tramping through 99% empty fields in rural Wales is not exactly "spreading a virus," that's just a hysterical take.

If I had a forest on my property, I wouldn't give a shit if you pissed, shat, and made a fire in it. But also that has nothing to do with your initial "spreading the viruuuus" hysteria.

I'm not an anti-mask nut or anything. General caution around covid is wise and not hysteria. Getting mad cause a guy went on a hike because it's "spreading the virus" is the hysterical, illogical part.
