For all those Stuart-y types out there:
I am putting together a proposal to submit to a trust for a travel grant. The travel does not have to be scientific, but should "widen the mind." I was thinking a Bushcraft related trip, perhaps to meet natives.
I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out with where exactly? Preferably not in the antipodes and not in too dangerous an environment.
Not having done an expedition overseas before, I want to be careful not to bite off more than I can chew. I am going to do a first aid course, beforehand, if you guys have any other recommendations for courses please share.
Even if you don't think I should be doing this, I would appreciate some advice about the kinds of things I should learn and experience beforehand to prepare, as if I don't do it this year I will do it in future years.
And similarly if you have any advice about minimizing risk, for example satellite phones or something. A list of the kinds of risks on this kind of expedition would be particularly useful, I will do some research about that now.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Many many thanks in advance,
Harry
