It's used to be about the challenge of getting to, setting up, roughing

The non-permitting on environmental basis is BS for Desecheo/Navassa.
People land all the time on both. Nothing stopping them, certainly not
U.S. F&W.
Well, there's the cost. The amount spent on the last failed trip to
Bouvet was obscene, when RIB had a far greater chance of success, at far
less cost. As long as folks want to pay their own way to do the roughing
it thing, more power to them. But don't go begging when it can be done
well at far lower cost. Most of us have more important ways to spend our
savings.
