How the work actually gets done.
Approach
DRAFT STRUCTURE. Each section below needs Branden’s words. The headings are a proposal, not a decision. This page is the load-bearing one: without the thesis paragraph on the home page and these sections, the rest of the site is a list of trips.
How the routes get chosen, why the power comes from muscle and weather rather than an engine, and what gets done differently after something fails.
One
To be written. Brief: The constraint that defines everything else. Why an engine is not an option, and what that rules in and out.
Two
To be written. Brief: Western to eastern geographic extreme. West to east across Mongolia. These are designed objectives, not existing routes — most visitors will not realise that unless it is said.
Three
To be written. Brief: Decision-making with no second opinion. What gets harder, and what gets simpler.
Four
To be written. Brief: What resupply actually looks like. Both water filters thread onto any bottle sold in a Mongolian town — a small detail that explains an entire philosophy.
Five
To be written. Brief: The counterfeit bolt. The torn kite. The burst water bottle. Publishing what broke is the method, not an afterthought.
