Customer Reviews

Read library copy, had to own one

I read a library copy of this book, then decided I should have my own copy. It is an excellent guide for those participating or planning for hiking, biking, canoeing, skiing, snow shoeing or kayaking camping. It provides checklists for equipment and suggestions to keep the weight down. I plan to use it every time I prepare for any outing in which I need to carry any equipment or supplies.

Camping made easy

This book was extremely helpful to campers of all levels. I have been camping for quite some time and still learned a lot of tips on how to make your trip as enjoyable and environmentaly friendly as possible. Anyone considering a day hike or longer should read this first.
