Broadly, nobody plans to make the up-front bad calls in Wild Travel; they happen while you are busy being in a hurry. Put simply, the flip side: the blunder readers notice is loud, and the one that actually costs them is invisible until later.

What so often goes wrong in Wild Travel — and who it hits

In short, you can spot early most Wild Travel wrong turns with a little structure — a stated goal, notes on what you tried, and a step back every so often. The slow to recover from missteps in Wild Travel are rarely dramatic — measuring what is easy instead of what matters to the outcome you are after does more damage than any single bad purchase. Honestly, if a Wild Travel shortcut sounds too good to argue with, it is nine times out of ten skipping the part that matters later.
