Nice video, thanks for the link.
Heck, 40 miles is just a stroll, I recently returned from to trips in the Frank Church Wilderness- one 80 miles the other 65 miles. I cheated and used two horses, although I still walked 60 miles on each trip. I really need one more horse!
He said he would backpack 40 miles into a canyon to get one picture. I interpret this to mean that his goal was to get that photo. I think that he shot more than one.I usually take more than one photo on a good day though.
The video was a piece of journalism of the Outside Magazine/Popular Photographer sort. As such, all parts of it should be taken with a grain of salt and interpreted loosely!
Although not large format, I found the following video much more enlightening about the process of obtaining transcendent images:
