More About the Author

Gil Gilpatrick has spent his life in outdoor Maine. For 26 years he was an instructor of Outdoor Resources at the Skowhegan Regional Vocational Center. His other major occupation was guiding wilderness canoe trips in northern Maine. Gil considers his life, combining these careers, an ideal blend of his love of the outdoors and that of making hand crafted items. "To see a need, and then set out to fill that need is the most satisfying thing I can think of to do," says the author. But Gil also takes great pleasure in seeing others enjoy the items he has developed and perfected. He has never made any of his gear commercially, rather preferring to make a few for friends and writing about them for others. Gil is a prolific writer and, besides writing free-lance articles when time permits, he is a regular columnist for Maine's Northwoods Sporting Journal, a monthly publication about outdoor Maine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable information., March 29, 2000
This review is from: The Canoe Guide's Handbook: How to Plan and Guide a Trip for Two to Twelve People (Paperback)
Gil Gilpatrick's Canoe Guide's Handbook is a "must have" for anyone interested in canoe trips. It's not just for people who want to become canoe guides. My wife and I regularly canoe the waters of Southeast Alaska. We have found Gil's book to be as useful and practical in Alaska as it is in Gil's home state of Maine. I've used this easy to read and down-to-earth book to help plan several canoe camping trips. The information and techniques presented are simple and effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best advice on canoe tripping I,ve read., August 23, 1998
By 
This review is from: The Canoe Guide's Handbook: How to Plan and Guide a Trip for Two to Twelve People (Paperback)
This book gives the best advice for wilderness canoeists that I,ve read in my 28 yrs. of paddling. I.ve just met the author on a wilderness canoe trip in Maine and he mentioned wishing to make a few revisions and updates concerning environmental pollution. It's great to know that he and his wife are still running canoe trips in Maine. I recommend all his books to anyone interested in outdoor woodcraft, and the history of the Maine Woods.
