It means being fully prepared, mentally and physically (as well as gear-wise) for the trip ahead. It is also about being flexible and obviously, prepared to go all the way and not make it back. I have been on many trips where I was convinced that I was going to hell and was unlikely to make it back in one piece. Being focused is everything in that kind of situation.
