I know we have some armed forces veterans on the board and long distance hikers on the board so I am hoping they will weigh in and give their opinion.
Back in the Gulf War there was a British SAS patrol in Iraq called Bravo Two Zero doing surveillance work. Long story short they were discovered by the Iraqi forces and pursued for days on foot across country. Some were captured/died and one escaped.
It's been years since I read the book so my recollection may be off on some facts.
Books and a film:
Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNabb
The One That Got Away by Chris Ryan
What I am interested in is how the accounts describe what it was like being pursued on foot by hostile forces....think looters/people who want to injure you.
If you are planning on using a bob and you wait too long to move, is this what happens to you?
The British soldiers were in good shape yet Murphy's Law pops up and they had to abandon gear and also they started having problems with their feet.
Is bugging out on foot unreasonable for long distances?
