How to Walk Across America is the survival guide for the crazy, courageous few who want (or need) to chuck it all and walk from ocean to ocean. No nonsense. No marketing. Just lessons from the road, from people who have actually walked across America. This is the ultimate primer on mega-long distance hiking, practical advice to keep feet from failing, sanity from disintegrating, and bank accounts from disappearing, no matter how long the hike. Attorney, adventurer, and author Tyler Coulson walked across America in 2011 with his dog, Mabel. Contributor Nate Damm did it in 2011, and contributors John and Kait Seyal did it in 2012, with three therapy dogs. Coulson shares lessons that you can only learn on the road, from common sense to highway secrets. He writes with candor and humor, stripping away all the marketing and glamour of high-tech, high-dollar hiking. What’s left is the ultimate first-level guide to the practice of chucking it all and walking out. It pulls no punches: it will scare you, inspire you, and leave you laughing.

What People Are Saying About How To Walk Across America — 

“[A]s full as it is with practical tips about everything you need to know about gear, camping, staying alive, etc., this book is equally as good at preparing you for the mental test that awaits you on the road, which any walker will tell you is the hardest part of the whole thing.This is an absolute must-read for anyone thinking about seeing the country on foot. I wish it had existed for me to read before I took off.” –Nate Damm, 2011 thru-hiker.

“Well, I have nearly completed reading How to Walk Across America and I feel like my purchase of it may in fact be THE turning point in my infinitely long question and answer period for weather or not I can, should or will go for the Walk. This is one bad-ass book! Without it I think I surely would have been dead by now.  I have laughed a lot at several points and have  begun to take a few notes so as not to miss anything.” — A 2016 Hopeful, who asks to remain anonymous.
