First find the total distance Carson walks along the warehouse's long sides: 600 feet/side * 2 sides = <<600*2=1200>>1200 feet

Then find the total distance Carson walks along the warehouse's short sides: 400 feet/side * 2 sides = <<400*2=800>>800 feet

Add those two amounts to find the total distance walk in one circle: 1200 feet + 800 feet = <<1200+800=2000>>2000 feet

Then find the number of circles Carson actually walks: 10 circles - 2 circles = <<10-2=8>>8 circles

Then multiply the distance of one circle by the number of circles Carson makes: 2000 feet/circle * 8 circles = <<2000*8=16000>>16000 feet

Carson is a night security guard. He's supposed to patrol the outside of a warehouse that's 600 feet long and 400 feet wide. If Carson is supposed to circle the warehouse 10 times, but gets tired and skips 2 times, how far does he walk in one night?
Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within \boxed{{}}.<|im_end|>
