Just remember, your never really stuck anywhere.
So If that train doesn't come, or no one stops to pick you up, or your Craigslist ride falls through, etc.
You always have your feet. Start kickin' rocks. You'll get somewhere eventually and there is a good chance that someone will pick up up eventually.
IF its cold or wet or hot. Prepare accordingly.
If its cold you'll probably bundle up and then after a mile or so you won't be cold anymore and you'll actually be peeling off layers really soon.
If its wet, find some heavy trash bags and make a poncho and a back cover. I'm sure there is a thread on here somewhere about how to do so...
If its hot....better have a jug of water so you don't dehydrate....
other than that it is easy...put on foot in front of the other, repeat.
Humans have been walking for thousands and thousands of years and our ancestors have crossed continents on their feet.
You go much slower yes, but it allows you to take in the world around you. I always look at long hikes as a form of meditation.
