Customer Reviews

Good information across many topics

I already camp and hike but was looking for a book that would cover areas that I wasn't familiar with yet. It does a very good job of filling this need. It would also be an excellent starter for someone who hasn't camped or hiked before. Once you decide on a specific interest there are deeper books on specific areas available.

A good primer

As a very inexperienced camper, I feel relatively prepared after reading this book! Although the author is clearly more of an *x-treme* outdoorsman than I will ever be, the information about all levels of outdoor activities is interesting and might prove useful one day. A very quick, easy read - highly recommended!
