  • jan-chipchase-one-body-principle.pdf — short essay on the “One Body Principle” applied to expedition teams (originally credited to 2018 Short Walk medic Sam Kellogg). Frames a team as a single resilient organism that grows into itself, learns from experience, holds itself up, and tolerates imperfection. Used as a reference in the Spring 2026 Study Group Session 4 (April 25, 2026) when discussing how a cohort moves at the pace of the group as a whole.
