"I have had plenty of experience with soft beaches etc." Clearly this qualifies you to hold court on desert travel then!
"Even in the Sahara there are well trodden tracks, use them ok," Is that a command? What if you want to cross a belt of dunes or exploring a relatively untravelled area!
"so you will run into drifted sand, do not put your rig at risk it is your way home" Your "rig" is your home on expedition.
"use chicken wire encased in hessian" While this was used to blaze a route across the Sinai peninsula into Trans Jordan (early 20th C), it went out the window in the 1920's when Bagnold et al started exploring the Western desert. They soon found sand ladders preferable!
No doubt you'll be recommending Solar Topees next or buying icecreams from the pierhead when you get too hot!
