Good Book

Good book on camping but I felt it could have included more tips...just my opinion

Great basic little book, from a very nice series

Camping is actually a pretty broad term anymore... People are tent campers, car campers, backpackers, canoe campers, and on and on. This leans more towards backpacking, and does a nice job squeezing in many of the most important points for beginners in a short book of 67 pages for a great price. He helps you chose your gear such as a camp stove, sleeping bag, tent, knives, clothing, boots, pack, etc. The book probabley concentrates on prparing food more than anything, and that is appropriate considering where you will be. He also helps put together a packing list, ideas for cooking and recipes, and many important safety tips. This is a nice supplemental item for your library of books on the subject if you have one and enjoy collecting them as I do. In fact it is part of a whole series of these little books in the Basic Essential Library. ...
