From the Back Cover
For a generation, the Basic Essentials(tm) series has been as much a part of the outdoors experience as backpacks and hiking boots. Information-packed tools for the novice or handy references for the veteran, these volumes distill years of knowledge into affordable and portable books. Whether you're planning a trip or thumbing for facts in the field, Basic Essentials(tm) books tell you what you need to know. Using Basic Essentials Snowshoeing you can discover how to pick the right pair of snowshoes, maneuver easily and effectively, get up after falling down, climb and descend trails, dress in layers and pack for cold-weather picnics and snowshoe with kids.

Great Snowshoeing Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic Essentials Snowshoeing (Basic Essentials Series) (Paperback)
This is an easy-to-read book that covers the essentials on virtually every aspect of snowshoeing. If you're new to the sport or have been on snowshoes a few times and could use some instruction, or are looking for fun things to do with the family, it's an easy book to read. The author obviously knows the sport well and shares it in a down-to-earth, no frills way. There's a brief history on how and where showshoeing began, fitness tips and recommendations on dressing and what other things to bring along on trips. I have been on snowshoes only a few times, without instruction, and this book really clarified some key things for me. Recommend highly.

Lack of information on a basic topic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Basic Essentials Snowshoeing (Basic Essentials Series) (Paperback)
This book just touches the surface of a very basic subject (snowshoeing). There is not alot of information to cover and this book does not cover it leaving you wanting for more! Other books on the market do a much better job, even general mountianeering books.
