Last summer I went a bit stark-raving mad.

Indeed, for nine days straight I raced through the deserts of Utah in the Primal Quest Adventure Race, a bout of existential brinkmanship I may never repeat.

This is a series of columns I wrote on the (insane) gear preparation demanded of the event. . .

2. Primal Quest gear, part II: Biking
3. Primal Quest gear, part III: Water sports
