Our beginner pieces on Wild Travel assume nothing and are written to be read start to finish. Realistically, begin with the basics: dull, load-bearing, and the reason later shortcuts make sense.

Wild Travel: the basics

As a rule, give the Wild Travel foundations a couple of sittings and the fog lifts more clearly than you expect. Broadly, skipping the fundamentals in Wild Travel feels fast right up until something breaks and no reader can say why. Give the Wild Travel boring parts a few focused evenings and the fog lifts better than you expect.

How we work

When two sources on Wild Travel disagree, we say so in the open rather than picking the tidier one, going by the questions we get. Realistically, the guides carry our name, so anything we would not tell a newcomer in person does not go into the guide. As a rule, our breakdowns get revisited on a schedule, not only when a passer-by complains.
