Expedition Preparation LINKS

In preparation for our future adventures....
These are a few valuable links I have found for expedition and overland travel. They are most directly related to desert or jungle travel, as those will be the two more common environments requiring specialization in certain aspects, in which we will be traveling.



Tropical Forest Expeditions. Royal Geographical Society document.
"If you can control your imagination, then the tropical rain forest can prove to be a
fascinating and beautiful place; it is a world so utterly unlike anything else."



Desert Expeditions. Royal Geographical Society document.
"All sand offers better flotation and traction when cool, dewy or damp; a bad bogging in the heat of
the afternoon will be easier to get out of around dawn (and will cost less water -see Desert
Survival)."



Vehicle Dependent Expeditions. Royal Geographical Society document.
"Use the smallest and lightest vehicles appropriate
for the task and terrain"

Expeditions West: Adventure Resources Scott Brady and others.
Expeditions West has several resource papers and great links. As well as a wealth of information for vehicle setup, trips, and equipment lists.
