It is an instant digital download. Once your order is complete the PDF is available straight away — nothing is shipped and there is nothing to wait for.

Any device that opens a PDF — phone, tablet or laptop. The file is yours to keep with lifetime access, and you can print it if you prefer working on paper.

The guide is a focused argument about proportion, meaning how much caution a trip really needs. The book is broader, adding health, weather, groups, scams, documentation and a chapter on reviewing your own trips.

Refunds are handled under the store’s Refund Policy (30 days), with the usual caveat that applies to digital products you have already downloaded.
