What would really happen if a hiker did the "Death Stranding" approach to hiking in the wilderness?-UNR

https://ift.tt/i5WzwGR

Norman Reedus' character, Sam, travels across the entire United States on foot, delivering packages along the way. This is his approach to hiking:

  • Exclusively drinks Monster energy drink (the black can with the green label).
  • He drinks 1 to 4 cans after waking up to prepare for the hike.
  • He drinks from a 1-liter canteen filled with Monster energy drink while he hikes. The canteen converts rainwater into Monster energy drink.
  • The only food he eats are these little grub things that are filled with protein. He jams handfuls of them into his mouth.
  • He frequently hikes up and down slopes that are up to 70 degrees.
  • He can hike even without shoes, although his feet will become cut and bleeding. This can cause him to roll down embankments and drop all of his cargo. His character gets angry when this happens.
  • He does all of this while carrying up to 240lbs of cargo on his back.

If a real-life hiker tried this approach to hiking, even without the packages, what would happen to them? What would the main obstacles be, even without the cargo? Is this hiking strategy feasible from a physical standpoint?

EDIT: Sam is a man approximately in his mid 30s, and is 5"10 170lbs. If that is relevant.

EDIT 2: This approach is unsafe and unsustainable for numerous reasons. It's dangerous, and going by the comments, very stupid. 🤦‍♀️
