Customer Reviews

A must-have for anyone interested in hiking.

I've only been hiking for about 3 months now, but this book has brought me great enjoyment when I'm not on the trail. It's got lots of practical advice and the authors can actually write. The stories told as illustrations continue to whet my appetite for sights as yet unseen. Using the practical advice from buying boots, to how to tie them has been invaluable. My more experienced hiking buddy was impressed with tidbits of trail knowledge I've shared with him from this book. He had to have it.

A very helpful and informative book

I was reluctant to buy this book and would not have but for a review recommending it. Now that I bought it, I think it is great. I am a rock climber, own 3 kayaks and spend a lot of time outdoors. Although from the title you would think this book would be mundane, it gives a large amount of great advice and includes some wonderful anecdotes.
