'A fascinating and unique look at these celebrated expeditions.' -Sir Ranulph Fiennes

Explorer and survival expert Ed Stafford looks at 25 of the greatest expeditions in history and what it takes to survive mentally and physically. In environments where lack of preparation could mean certain death, the equipment carried, ridden and sailed into uncharted territories could mean the success or failure of an expedition. Conquering fears and adversity, mountains, seas and wild jungles, Ed Stafford reveals how the great explorers achieved their incredible missions to find out a little more about our world, and learn even more about themselves.

EPIC EXPEDITIONS was first published as an illustrated, large format hardback under the title EXPEDITIONS UNPACKED: What the Great Explorers Took into the Unknown. This new paperback edition includes a black and white photograph of each explorer and a black and white illustration of their kit.

His footage was made into a Discovery Channel documentary and was sold to over 100 countries and he authored the best-selling book, Walking the Amazon'.
