- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -2/+77That beard is still kinda weak after a year.
- IvanB, on 06/17/2009, -4/+45Personally, this is my favorite of all those time lapse videos.
- B1665r, on 06/17/2009, -3/+43Must be nice to have a trust fund...
- YourMomsAnAnon, on 06/17/2009, -0/+30I'm glad I'm not the only person who sucks at growing beards.
- Deevo55, on 06/17/2009, -0/+24That would be an amazing experience. I wish I was able to take a crazy trip like this.

- Wavemancali, on 06/17/2009, -0/+17Dugg for the journey, screw the beard.
- KayinNasaki, on 06/17/2009, -3/+19He actually became quite handsome from the trip. No *****
Well. Maybe a little. - marcb83, on 06/17/2009, -0/+15I would say that 1 pic a day would be slow speed.
- LeeMaple, on 06/17/2009, -1/+16Worst Beard Ever! But the video was well done.
- Doomsan, on 06/17/2009, -0/+15That'll be a really long talk.
- Rubicant, on 06/17/2009, -0/+13The original goal was to reach Germany from China; however, he did not accomplish his goal on foot. Rehage did walk from Urumqi in the northwest of China to Beijing, which is still a feat, all on its own.
- cam0man, on 06/17/2009, -1/+13sell your stuff and just do it. you live once...unfortunately there's so much social conditioning to tell you not to - but when you're 80 years old, will you look back and be glad you spent that extra year at the office working towards your promotion?
the honest truth is that doing something like this lets you meet about a million new people and actually helps you attain your goals better than just doing the same thing as everyone else.
what's that fight club quote? it's not you owning your possessions, it's your possessions owning you? - inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+11only a very few people can afford to take a year long vacation. not just the cost of the vacation but also the cost of not working for a year. so yea it must be great to be loaded.
- chuckDontSurf, on 06/17/2009, -0/+10Well, "mighty long" is a bit of an exaggeration. Still though, kudos to him for taking a trip like that.
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -2/+12wish i was rich
- bwhite, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9I was expecting a Sam Beam quality beard.

Still a cool video though. I wish I had the time and determination to set out on the quest like that. - DamageInc, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9From the youtube video description:
"All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things." - inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9I bet you're fun to hang out with.
- bingQ, on 06/17/2009, -1/+9I don't understand why straight men feel ashamed to acknowledge that another man is good looking.
- Malakii, on 06/17/2009, -0/+8I always admire people who take these kinds of journeys. The experience must be incredible.
- vwwally, on 06/17/2009, -0/+8i grew a better beard in the time it took me to watch that.
- ifruit, on 06/17/2009, -1/+9shut up queerface.
Just kidding, I'm in love with Bear Grylls. - syntheticfth, on 06/17/2009, -1/+8Damn you internets! Neckbeard is the only beard. Those weak eye-liner backstreet boy things are not beards!
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+6How can people afford/pay for these adventures?
- slyzxx, on 06/17/2009, -0/+6My beard grows tons tons faster, though it gets itchy like a mofo.
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+6The guy from Knocked Up had a mich more impressive beard.
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -1/+7I was more interested in the background, it's cool watching his epic journey day by day. I must admit though he had a pretty badass Moses look going on there.
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5Beards rule.
- rinote, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5No, he seriously got pretty ruggedly good looking in the video. Facial hair really improved his looks!
- pathouston22, on 06/17/2009, -1/+64646 km = 2,880 miles
In an absolute straight line, Germany is 4,521 miles from Beijing.
My adeptness at geography knew something was wrong. He didn't walk the whole way. - Smokeydabear, on 06/17/2009, -1/+6The dude looks kinda like Tom Selleck in some of the photos. Dugg for Tom Selleck.
- Philogos, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5not to mention, confusing
- Auto, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5Cool story bro.
- damnmonkey, on 06/17/2009, -0/+5I'd like to add that it's not the money or the possessions that are the problem, it's the OBLIGATIONS. I doubt my wife and daughter would see the coolness in my taking a 1 yr. sabbatical/adventure. Guess it just takes having nothing tying you down, aka obligations.
- orsinoduke, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4me, I wanna do this
- s3thmac, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4The things you own, end up owning you.
- rossnyc, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Yea always wondered how people can take year long trips like these. I guess if you're really set on it you'll find a way.
- rodon, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Impressive video, but his beard kung-fu is weak. My moustache could eat his beard!
- DamageInc, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Would have been a lot better if he actually grew facial hair on more than just along his jawline and mustache.
- dchaosdx, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4at 4000km he looks like the burger king king
- LoudMusic, on 06/17/2009, -2/+6Pics or it didn't hap ...
... ohhhh. - gobbo, on 06/17/2009, -2/+5Baloney. In 1988 I took $3000 and travelled around the world alone for a full year. That's $5000 in today's money. I had to work for a month in London to buy a plane ticket home (so add $1000). When I got home I was broke.
It was worth it. Just get your priorities straight. - tastypastry, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3Um hell yes it's the money. How do you not work for an entire year? You're filthy rich, that's how.
- inactive, on 06/17/2009, -1/+4plus airplane and train tickets back to Beijing every time the Chinese bureaucracy slows his process - also what is he doing sleeping in a ditch at night? I don't think so.
- larrythedog, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3"............IT"S..............."
- asnider, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3The beard wasn't nearly as impressive as I'd hoped. Still a cool video, though.
- andehbrown, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3Is it too late to pretend I don't read English very well?
- wilc8650, on 06/17/2009, -1/+4Must have rich parents to be able to do this. And what a weak ass beard. Cool video however. :P
