Yeah, the permits are a pain, but you can’t ignore them. First, map the exact route and flag every potential hazard—then hit the local authorities with a clear plan, show them the maps, and offer a small fee. Second, make sure the insurance covers both you and the crew; get a policy that pays for field damage, rescue, and any volcanic fallout. Third, keep a backup crew on standby just in case the lava does something unexpected. And finally, keep the paperwork tidy—no paperwork mistakes get you stuck in a crater. That’s the recipe: clear plan, solid insurance, and a backup crew ready to dive in.
