Furthest you've walked?

[Lar-E]

OK, so whats the furthest you've ever made a kerbal hoof it? My longest hike was about 6km... as usual, from crash site on the Mun to the waiting rescue vehicle. That's not a long walk for a man, but a lot of little steps for kerbal-kind.

[r4pt0r]

i had 3 stranded kerbals on the mun jetpack 14km to a rescue vehicle. walking is too slow

[Lar-E]

At the time, I was phobic of jetpacks on the Munar surface, having recently had an unpleasant and unplanned encounter with terrain.

[Aragosnat]

Thankfully not far. Most of the time under 500 m. Think I only had to walk 2 km once do to low Jet pack fuel. Needed to save some to re-enter lander. As driving is more fun then walking when one has the rover option available.

[LameLefty]

I've had to walk about 10 km before. Long story. I've since learned to "hover/fly" with the jetpack on low-gravity airless moons.

[StrandedonEarth]

About 15 klicks one way, and then 7 back the other. My first rescue mission landed about 8 klicks away, so I left a coin weighted down by a padlock on the 'W' and walked away from my laptop. When I came back Jeb had walked way past the lander. So I turned him around and padwalked him back while I watched TV, keeping a closer watch on his progress.

3km to get bill back to his lander after landing on the mun for the first time

[BagelRabbit]

My longest walk was only about 2km on Minmus, to get back to my lander after RCS ran out on the way back from a grand excursion to the Hills biome. Once I got to the lander, though, I spent about twenty minutes jumping for the crew hatch. I didn't add ladders because I thought I could hover right up to the hatch using RCS. [sigh]

[spectrhz]

I never walk very far, I use the monopropellant packs, and if that doesn't work on a certain planet, I hack gravity.

I landed a unmanned rover on the northern ice caps to find the north pole. Because I missed the pole by several kilometres, I had to drive the rover down through mountains to reach the pole. But I forgot to brake the rover and a wheel broke. A second flight brought a Kerbal to the ice caps but still quite far away. So he had to walk 7km to repair the rover's wheel.

[Silverchain]

A long way, because getting a rescue craft down to the surface of Tylo is hard enough, never mind landing on a precise spot!

[irongut]

Jeb had to hike 8.3km uphill on the Mun to get to a rescue ship after he ran out of fuel 50m up and touched down perfectly. It was my first manned Mun mission to land and I didn't know he could run with the shift key. So used a screwdriver to hold W down and kept an eye on it while I made dinner.

[Duke23]

My record so far is (only?) 1.4 kilometers because I underestimated the atmosphere for my Duna rescue mission and didn't really bring enough fuel to make corrections. Usually I try to make sure there's a rover available for things like that but I was packing light and hoping for the best.

It was actually pretty good considering my track record of plopping down anywhere from 5-20km away from target.

[6.forty]

15km. Patience and a programmable keyboard.

[DisarmingBaton5]

To the farlands! No, wait...

Probably a few km at most, around KSC

[zeppelinmage]

"14 km.", though most of it was via jetpack. Actual walking? Maybe a km or two.

It was a month ago when I was still playing the Demo. Bill crash-landed on the Mun, so I sent Bob up with a rescue craft. The Rescue craft landed 14km away from him. So, instead of taking ages hoofing it, I used his jetpack. I was still rather new to all this, and ended up going quite fast over the ground. Probably on the order of 30-50m/s. Anyway, he got to the rescue craft quite quickly, and I tried to slow down for "landing"...

To Bob's horror, Bill had a CFIT at a rather high rate of speed, less than a km from the lander. *poof*.

[Aireglin]

30 km on Duna. Jeb crashed and the rescue party missed the landing zone. Unfortunately, I don't have a programable keyboad, so I stuck a knife in it. Worked quite well.

Wow that's some serious breakdown cover, and one determined mechanic. Wish the AA were that persistent.

The furthest I've ever made a Kerbal walk was about 3km on Duna to reach a rescue lander. Not much else to say really

[TheBadAstronomer]

Walking, 5 km. Although I really don't do strenuous EVAs, my furthest distance on EVA (swam) was 10 km. I was trying to get to an Easter egg, but landed short. I thought to myself "what the hey, it's not too far". I was so wrong.

[FellipeC]

For about 15 minutes. Don't even measured.

[Joshington]

I wanna say the farthest was when I jetpacked a kerbal 30k to a Mun arch and plant a flag under it for future landings. The kerbal, Lanfrey, became my favorite kerbal and piloted a 15 kerbal colony (my avatar) right next to it.

[SunJumper]

[M5000]

I think I did a 12Km out/12Km back EVA on the Mun with mostly jetpack power, wanted to go faster than the rover was allowing...

[bigdad84]

Farthest I've walked was about 9KM on the surface of Eve. I landed on Eve with a one way trip lander. I sent an unmanned rescue lander but it landed in the highlands about 78km away... So I drove a rover specially sent to Eve almost to the rescue lander and had it flip... Thus having to walk 9 km.

[goldenpeach]

I tend to walk more since I got my new rover(made to bring a lot of heavy stuff to the mun and/or drive kerbals around): all(yes, 100%) of my rover adventures with it resulted in being airborne due to the terrain.

Nearly all of those airborne experiences resulted in a crash.
