Truly epic journey! I have nothing but respect for the people that actually go out there and do these sort of things.

But it sounds like he was real lucky he made it out of there alive...

Apparently he counted the number of times people told him he would die if he continued... final tally: 104 times

I don't know. Seems that the people that do these kinds of things have a screw loose. Usually daddy issues. Just my opinion though.
