Dear /tvl/

For most of my life I have wanted to cross the United States on foot by myself. As of late, I’ve been seriously considering it. I would be walking from middle Georgia, to Colorado Springs.
So, my questions is:
-What would be the best time to leave?
-What should I pack?
-How much money should I bring?
-Safety precautions.
-etc.

You cannot walk to Colorado without walking through about 30 miles of rough wild terrain, unless you want to just walk along the interstate.

Get a real hobby.

Walking?

Nah, it's not the pioneer days anymore, there are enough towns that he'd be able to find food and water.

OP - You could do it, but you'd be following roads the whole way. First, you'd be doing a lot of legally-questionable trespassing if you didn't follow roads most of the way. And second, you'd need to stop many many times to purchase water and food along the trip anyhow. Your biggest safety concern would probably be getting hit by a car, and where to spend the nights. Why Colorado Springs? 'Pikes Peak or Bust' was a misnomer by the way, since the gold-mining region people primarily travelled to was further north.

Mid spring or late summer would be your best time to start. Your gear would probably be basic hiking stuff, since there's no way for you to carry enough food or water for the whole trip and you'll buy things along the way. Dunno how much money you'd want, but you could figure it out by trying one day, and then multiplying the cost out.

I remember some yanky decided to travel across australia on foot. Massive search was had, channel 7 news chopper got him and wouldnt let him go till he signed a contract for exclusive interviews. Also gave him a bannana which they quickly found out isnt the best food for someone who hasnt eaten in 4 days

Have you read Walk Across America? Pretty good book, true story too. Guy walked from some North Eastern state to Louisiana, then to Alaska.
