If I was doing that route (for some crazy reason), I would seriously look at getting a cart to pull. You will have really long stretches without water sources. You will need to carry a lot more water than you will want on your back.


It may come to that, at least as long as I am in the desert. I'd rather not, but if that's what it takes...

One of the blogs I found when I came up with this idea, the guy did just that. He walked from New York to Oregon pushing a cart: http://imjustwalkin.com/
