A great resource .... fun read also !

This book is an excellent resource, whether you are an experienced or first time trip leader of a multi-day river trip. I've been an active trip leader since 1997 .... from weekend trips within a few hours drive from home .... to month long trips deep into wilderness. I purchased this book in 2004 and have found it an indispensible reference. This book provides a very methodical way to plan, organize, and pack for a trip (includes check lists etc) .... I find that using this book means I use my pre-trip time more efficiently and I worry less about whether or not I've fogotten or overlooked something !! So it is worth every cent :-) Maria Eschen presents what sounds like a dry subject in a very amusing way. The approach she documents for planning a trip is also applicable to many types of group multi-day wilderness trips (e.g. climbing, mountaineering, ski touring) though obviously the river and equipment specific info is not applicable!
