Field Notes · Method Behind the Journey
The invisible discipline behind 306 days.
These notes are not regular travel stories. They explain the systems, habits, safety traces, communication rituals, and operating methods that made the solo overland journey possible.
中文说明
这里记录的，不是发生了什么，而是旅程如何被维持。
Stories 记录路上的人、事件与风景；Field Notes 记录背后的方法。 例如每晚发定位、每日 mileage report、如何在不同国家保持联系、如何让 solo journey 不变成 untraceable journey。
