You have 100 days to complete the walk. It's about 800 miles by the most direct route.

You must travel on foot only, except as needed for river crossings.

You'll be given $5000 for the trip. That must cover your food, lodging, and any gear you buy on the way. If you can hire security out of that for part of the way, go for it. You can bring with you anything you currently own, but you must carry all your gear yourself. No selling anything to get more money while on your way or getting a transfer from a friend or family member.

You can leave anytime in the next year, if you want to grow a beard, wait for seasons to change, etc. Once you start, you're on the clock.

I'd be literally set. Already have tons of camping equipment and weapons. My only Q is where I'd be getting food during some stretches between population centers - afghanistan is barren AF and I don't have any experience hunting wild game there or what plants I could forage.

With some key phrases in pashto and Persian everybody's gonna understand your story.

the biggest risk is that you find yourself at the wrong place at the wrong time when a bomb goes off somewhere or a gunfight between taliban and govt troops erupts.

"Terrorist and insurgent groups continue planning and executing attacks in Afghanistan. These attacks occur with little or no warning, and have targeted official Afghan and U.S. government convoys and facilities, local government buildings, foreign embassies, military installations, commercial entities, non-governmental organization (NGO) offices, hospitals, residential compounds, tourist locations, transportation hubs, public gatherings, markets and shopping areas, places of worship, restaurants, hotels, universities, airports, schools, gymnasiums, and other locations frequented by U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals."

I don't know. Seems too risky to me. I don't think the religious pilgrim idea would work unless you want to basically convert to Islam. If you stumble across a Taliban cell, all they would need to do is ask you a few simple questions about the Koran in English and your cover would be blown. That's assuming that they don't just assume you're a spy and kill you immediately, which they might. And you might also stumble across poppy farmers or some local warlord who doesn't give a shit that you're a pilgrim. Or you stumble across a land mine. The list is endless.

Indeed, even if Afghanistan were a completely safe, stable country, this would be no picnic. It's a barren, mountainous country with extremely high and low temperatures. You would have to average eight miles a day through mountainous terrain while carrying enough clothing to survive high and low temperatures and enough food to keep you alive between towns where you can resupply. This would be tough for an experienced thru-hiker who speaks Pashto. Lol at a fat lawyer from xoxo with Google Translate on his iPhone pulling this off.
