careful planning may have been spent
in finances resources required knowledge
key is terrain variations to be crossed
must be crossed what extremes of weather endured
equipment food transportation life skill experiences
leadership qualities team member skills camaraderie's
discipline leadership time climatic windows of opportunities
compatibility one mind one goal one purpose
so much depends upon leadership training skills
so much depends on resolute mind determination
due to extremes of heat cold drought
rain flood water supply storms animal insect
disease dangers maps time limitations
all will be factor success failure formulas
all accounted planned plus pride of purpose
yet still moral can all stand or fall upon luck
intelligence weather quiet watching listening
accessing what needs to be done
acting with forethought speed
accessing limitations timing risks
determination moral can all stand or fall upon luck
intelligence is often quiet
listening accessing
what needs to be done...
