Start with the authority.
For mineral permission, use the mineral authority. For a park, approach or closure, use the land manager. For a product feature, use its manufacturer. Operator descriptions are identified as operator information. A search result, forum post or map pin does not establish access.
Separate fact from exercise.
Guide source lists identify the material behind factual claims. Timed sessions, sample comparisons, invented budgets and completed practice records are labelled teaching examples. They are not field surveys, measured travel times, assays, promised finds or customer testimonials.
Dates have a limited meaning.
The November 2026 editions contain a dated research snapshot. A retrieval date is not a new publication date for an old map. It does not certify today's closure, road condition, water level, booking availability or lawful approach. Recheck the source before every trip.
What we have not verified.
These are desk-researched guides. We do not claim to have walked each approach, tested each product, certified claim title or measured recoverable gold. Unresolved conditions stay unresolved in the notes. Official maps remain the boundary authority.
Tell us what needs correcting.
Use the contact page with the public page or guide title, edition, section and official source showing the issue. Do not send licence keys, card information or private trip details. We assess corrections against primary sources and revise affected copy and samples together. We do not promise continuous live monitoring or a fixed response time.
Commercial links are labelled.
Affiliate links are identified beside the link. A possible commission is not evidence of suitability, a guaranteed discount or a verified account payout. Read the disclosure. Public referral links share free pages; they do not transmit your saved trip sheet.
