5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent source of information. A survival kit in print.
This book played an essential role in my team's confidence to hike up and down Pikes Peak.

Great!...For Neophytes.
Like the other reviews mention, there is a dearth of info here. The problem is that it's all very basic. If you're looking to upgrade your knowledge and have had nominal experience hiking or backpacking, then this is not a good source. However, if you've never been backpacking before and know nothing about wilderness survival then this is a great start.

Excellent for beginners. Not the best choice for others.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Backpacker's Handbook (Paperback)
I read this book before going to my first excursion and it was very useful. If you are a beginner, want to go to a light trip and know nothing about backpacking, setting a tent, cooking in the middle of the countryside, etc, this book is an excellent choice. If you are experienced, I guess that this book will be very basic for you.

Great pictures, little information,

This review is from: Backpacker's Handbook (Paperback)
This is a beautiful book, but that's where its value stops. Beyond the myriad beautiful pictures lie very little practical information.
