What is exploration? The dictionary defines it as examining places that have never been visited or visited by few people (natural conditions). In other words, it is to gather the courage to attempt something even though you know the place you plan to explore is dangerous. However, it does not mean recklessly doing something that no one has done before or something that threatens life safety. Instead, it requires careful planning, thorough preparation, and doing everything possible to avoid danger. Moreover, you must bravely face the remaining 1% of unexpected risks that you haven’t anticipated—this is the kind of exploration described in this book.
You must still remember the excitement and unease you felt the first time you traveled alone without your parents or the first time you went camping, right? That kind of anxiety where you worry, "What if something dangerous happens?" This feeling of unease is something that appears every time you explore. Precisely because of this unease, you are better prepared for failure, and you can more deeply experience the joy of overcoming difficulties and conquering yourself.
