Fantastic!
I’m new to backpacking. I bought a few backpacking books recently, and none of them are more interesting and clearly written than this book.

A solid introduction to backpacking
In 1996 I took my first backpacking trip ever. It was in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Became lost, carried too much weight…but enjoyed myself anyway.

One of the best.
Valuable informaton throughout. Well-written. Eye-catching photos. Even the paper used for the book is stronger than most should you want to take it in the field.

Excellend book for anyone wanting to enjoy the outdoors.
Although I’ve been backpacking for many years, I felt sure this book could teach an old dog a few new tricks. And it did!
