An interesting read but I suspect Martin's idea of an adventure ride may have more MX DNA in its parentage / mindset than mine. It doesn't change the validity of much of what he says but it is quite narrowly focused. Those of us that get our adventure kicks primarily on the road, riding road orientated bikes, may need to pick the nuggets of wisdom out of much of what he says and store the rest away for any future off road forays. So for many of us Never go adventuring without these 10 things might be hyperbolically overstating it a bit. It's advice from somebody coming at it from one angle, not the 10 commandments. Read it and parse it through your own experience.
