A 14 yr old landy AND vehicle dependant etc, etc... Eish! You are a sucker for punishment!
Years ago I bought that book (plus a copy of his desert expeditions pdf) and although good in general I found them outdated and overly complicated. I much prefer Chris' book as it deals more with the practicalities of individual overlanding rather than planning a full on scientific expedition. Anyway, good luck with the Landy! |

No, didn't win ebay ..... got about bid for it. But ended up getting it with the landy and tonnes of other stuff too. I'm a happy man. Still have loads of time before we set of (2 years +) but now have a purpose and a tool for that purpose. First two trips already lined up. A quick visit to my folks in Cornwall, then 10 days in Ireland.
Fantastic! Happy Happy Happy |

Hi chaps bought mine via RGS for £40 delivered
Expedition Logistic manuals this is revision 2.1, if anyone spots a copy of the first edition grab it as it has become an expensive collectable. I always request a search when i am in hay on Wye just in case anyone has a copy knocking about. Regards Gren |

The edition i have (2.1) is the most up to date, however it has become a must have book in the adventure/overland fraternity, the 1st edition is sought after as are the 1st's in almost anything else of perceived value.
for practicallity sake I would want the most up to date information available, however i still want the 1st Ed. The copy i looked at on amazon looks like the 1st ed. hence price I also have Tom's book "Quiet for a Tuesday", an excellent read with great photography regards Gren |
The copy on amazon is the 2nd edition.
Seems to be a hell of a lot of money! Does anyone know if the book is still in print? |

Why not buy all Tom's books direct from the man himself. I can't believe some of the prices these books are going for.
Tom Sheppard - Four by four driving techniques and vehicle expedition driving He's a great guy. I met him at the RGS Overland Workshop recently. His talks are as interesting and amusing as his writing. Feed the man, not the machine :) Cheers |
