Episode notes

Nobody in human history has achieved what Karl Bushby is on the verge of completing. The former British paratrooper has travelled more than 48,000 km over the past 28 years, walking around the world with human power alone. No flights, no boats, no vehicles. He takes us into his Goliath Expedition in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West (3:00).
