The Gear Chick does it!

Very good and informative a must for any long distance hiker! Two thumbs up to the "Gear Chick".

Huge value from small book

Don't forget this book,I have been an active hiker for 28 yrs and have to say this book has been a great tool to help me keep my gaer in great working order. Gear can last a lifetime and I enjoy maintaining what I have instead of forking over dough for new gear. Kristin's book enables you to quickly and easily repair fix and maintain your gear so it lasts a lifetime. There is nothing worse than mid way through an outdoor experience having an equipment malfunction, leaky tent etc. What a bummer that can be. I have been looking for a book like this for quite a while and did not expect that it be be so cheap and concise without compromise. Kristin was a gear editor for BackPacker magazine for a number of years, I hope some more useful books like this are in cue.See you on the summit if the weather's O.K.Hurley
