even though i have been camping every summer, all my life, this book is very nice with good tips. some list on what is needed and what you can leave behind ( i always pack too much). good ideas for camping with kids. some basic safety tips on lightning, first aid, snake bite, etc. good tips on what type of equipment is out there. i was surprised that there wasn't a big push to buy l.l. bean equipment. it was a very well rounded book.

Having been a camper for well over 50 years now and a collector of outdoor books, I am a bit familiar with this type of book. While I certainly would not recommend an extreme wildreness trek using only this book as a guide, it is filled with a remarkable amount of useful information. No camping book is the beginning and end of all information of the subject and this is certainly no exception. I did find several helpful tips and you certainly will not be hurt in anyway by reading this one. The book is well designed, does not push L.L. Bean stuff, which I found refreshing, and is quite readable.
