Winter Camping

Good book. A great deal of common sense but some good reference material. I am looking at this to help train my BSA Troop; I think this has some wonderful material to help them. I have found that all of the NOLS books have some very good and useful information.

Snow Shelter Fun

I'm a NOLS grad and was asked to do a class for our local Boy Scout troop on winter camping and snow shelters. I picked up a copy of NOLS Winter Camping and found it to be a fantastic resource. The illustrations were very helpful and the instruction was well organized, easy to read and use. The kids are going camping this weekend and they will be sleeping in a snow cave.
