Guinness World Record holder walking barefoot ... Anton Nootenboom

Aka “The Barefoot Dutchman” is walking barefoot from Los Angeles to New York.



An article said he is doing it to raise awareness men's mental health. I don't have an hour to watch this video right now but hey I made a topic.

I know almost every night I take a barefoot hike either to the beach or more often the convenience store 7 blocks away and I think its great for mental health. If I was just plodding along in shoes the walk would be lame, boring but barefoot its really is like a mental health break. My focus is all on planning my route rough and smooth spots different textures of the ground. I think they call that mindfulness. Plodding along in shoes not so much anything negative on my mind that day would probably stay there and keep thinking about it.

I am always skeptical of people promoting mental health awareness though. I hope dude if you see this raise some awareness of the criminality of big pharma and the abuse behind psychiatric locked doors! The reason many people avoid help or never go back in the first place. I am an activist too!

 

This is what Google maps came up with 1000 hours ! Yikes.

Could you walk the highway the whole time? I wonder what the route is.

 

Now that’s a long ways to go barefoot I hope his feet are super tough!!

 

When my feet start to hurt Ill walk on the white line on the roadway like a balance beam or the double yellow if there is not cars.

 

I know what you mean I have walk 12 miles barefoot and it was going up hill and down hill and it was a black top trail
