The explorers of old, took THE BEST THEIR TIME COULD OFFER , why not do that today too.
Its such rubbish that a wet or leaking jacket should be more adventurous than a dry one. Or that functioning equipment should insulate you from the world. Some of the old guys died because of equipment failure.
Correct and functioning equipment leaves you all the time to enjoy and interact with the world instead of with a broken gearbox or a burner.
And again, why don't they just do their thing, why do they have to tell others? Don't they feel so pure, when freezing in a wet reindeer sack, if they can't tell anybody else about it ?

Ok i think allot of people are missing what i was trying to get accross. I dont mind travelling with equipment and technology. Id much rather travel with a new jacket then an "old leaking one" im not a purist in that sense. All im saying is dont live through the cycle of perfecting everything and thus day dreaming creating unrealistic expectations of how the trip will play out. Sure day dream its great but if one put too much time into planning and preperation there is no room for flexability.
for example if somthing goes "wrong" and away from your well planned route your going to be stressed, fear and other such emotions as its not fitting with your plans. Where if one makes broader flexable plans like im going from here to here but i will work out how as i go along. Then when somthing comes up you adapt because you dont have expectations of how its supposed to be.
and also guys its just advice as i said dont be defensive and think i attack.
