I attempted to live off the land for an entire day. The land was not kind.

#4 in the Barcelona to Berlin 2016 throwback series. We're up in the far northern reaches of Italy now, and the aim is to cross over into Switzerland and reach the village of Andeer by nightfall, using a mixture of hiking and hitchhiking. To make things slightly trickier though, today was to be the day I'd chosen to live off the land. But the day ended up being so much more than about the crippling hunger. There were petrifying paths, a close shave with a marmot, three of the fastest hitchhikes I've ever gotten, including a near death experience (but surprisingly not with the drunken old man who drove me to Splugen) and a pretty scary night's sleep to cap it off. But would I succeed in my mission? Watch to find out. Support me on Patreon and watch these videos early: https://www.patreon.com/geowizard
