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!

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.

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.

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.

I bought this book looking for a guide of some kind to help me know what to exspect, equipment I needed, and how to plan a trip.
