Changing the World by Changing Yourself,
By
This review is from: NOLS Soft Paths: Revised (NOLS Library) (Paperback)
This well written and easy to read book details minimum impact techniques for a wide variety of environments. Any outdoor person (front country or backcountry, veteran or neophyte) can do a better job when enjoying wildlands- this book will show you not only "how," but more importantly, "why."Wanna learn where to hike? or how to dig a cat hole? or the best place to camp without establishing a new site? Just what the heck should I do with those slimy food orts at the bottom of my cookpot near the top of some peak? Take a read of Soft Paths and you'll find out.

This review is from: NOLS Soft Paths: Revised (NOLS Library) (Paperback)
This book describes minimal-impact camping techniques and supports the Leave No Trace program. Every hiker and backpacker must have this book. We camp in order to appreciate mother nature, and when following the guidelines set forth in Soft Paths you can be confident that you are not hurting the environment that you appreciate so much.
