How I adore Ed Stafford – he is so humble and so brave and his challenges have always had me on the edge of my seat. A modern-day explorer and adventurer we can all admire. In this book, he looks at 25fabulous expeditions over time and specifically through the kit these remarkable explorers took with them and how it was necessary to their survival.
