8+ days of food in his pack, flying alone across the Sierra's in California.
This is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I have only had 1 accidental XC which is kinda a joke because essentially I got off course down a mountain and had to walk a few miles to the LZ. To take the step from the training hills and local flying sites to committing to days of flying and hiking to go as far as you possibly can is kinda a big deal.
More than 150 miles of hiking! A goal of 500+ miles total around 50% flying a Paraglider. Dave Turner you are an ambitious bad ass! Cheers to you brother.

Dave Turner also has a company, Sierra Paragliding, and is probably a great person to learn xc bivak style flying from.
