The Expedition trilogy by Jason Lewis is the story of the first human-powered circumnavigation of the Globe. It tells the story of how Jason spent over 13 years on a journey of 46,505 miles around the world purely by cycling, skating, rowing, kayaking,  pedal boating, swimming and walking. His trip was beset with many problems and difficulties with his life in danger on many occasions, but somehow he managed to survive and live to write the book!

3. Fix stuff when it breaks

4. Use water sparingly
