What does it take to survive in the unknown?

Explorer and survival expert Ed Stafford captures the spirit of adventure in 25 of the greatest expeditions of all time.

From 1864-2018, these intrepid explorers blazed a trail with adventures including the ascent of Everest, crossing the Australian desert by camel and kayaking the North Atlantic Ocean. They conquered mountains, deserts, jungles and seas, venturing into the most remote and inhospitable climes on the planet.

Peeking inside each kit bag (including his own), Ed Stafford reveals how the great explorers achieved their awe-inspiring missions to find out more about our world, and how the equipment they carried with them determined the success or failure of their expedition.
