  1. Episode 1

    Episode 1: Why Planning Matters

    Covers the preamble, why adventurous journey planning is not optional, the eleven-element planning spine, and the planning timeline. Sets up the full framework for everything that follows.

  2. Episode 2

    Episode 2: Route Planning and Risk Assessment

    Topographic map reading, Naismith timing, waypoints, terrain judgment, and building a route that suits the group. Then into risk assessment: identifying hazards, assessing likelihood and consequence, and writing controls that actually work.

  3. Episode 3

    Episode 3: Logistics — Food, Water, Transport and Budget

    Meal planning for multi-day journeys, dietary requirements, energy needs, water sourcing and purification, trailhead transport and vehicle logistics, and building a budget that holds up to scrutiny.

  4. Episode 4

    Episode 4: Approvals, Communication and Weather

    Consent that is genuinely informed, trip intention lodging, notification chains, and weather planning from seasonal patterns through to specific go/no-go thresholds. The communication and approval layer that connects the group to the outside world.

  5. Episode 5

    Episode 5: Mentoring, Readiness and Reflection

    Mentor and guide approval, the six-week mentoring cadence, the ten most common planning failures, the pre-departure checklist, equipment and gear, emergency procedures, and post-trip debrief. Closes with a personal note from the author.
