Task · part of 6. Expedition planning: the eight steps everything else runs on

6(h). Recordkeeping, and what happens to the records

Required

Detailed documentation procedures, and a plan for interpreting and sharing the information once the expedition is over. This is what makes requirement 8(c)'s report possible.

Notes and warnings

Note. The recordkeeping you plan here is what makes requirement 8(c)'s report writable. Decide now how you are going to capture observations and photos on the trip.
