Riassunto

A book to implement the new-millennium spirit of adventure and the unquenchable thirst for overland travel. The capability of modern 4x4s, the availability of satellite communications, navigation and images widens the scope for modern voyages of discovery. A massive, 550 page distillation of 30 years' experience and recent research. Detailed and thorough in its approach to all aspects of vehicle-based expeditions. Signposting within the book ensures easy access to just the information required. Headings, tables, line drawings and page side-note summaries together with copious photography give the overview when needed. Clothing, equipment, vehicles, vehicle modifications, loading and lashing are covered; plus water filtration, shipping, fuels and oils, communications and comprehensive coverage of maps, navigation and driving. EDITION 2.1: Demand for this book since the 2nd Edition sold out drove prices to unreasonable levels - the last few copies sold in the US for $320 each. High prices do not mean volume demand so the reprint run has perforce been very small, but the resulting cost is still less than a quarter of internet asking rates. This is a reprint of Edn 2 with some updates to most sections.
