Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This handy reference has simple, step-by-step instructions for hiking and backpacking, including tips for packing, cooking, seeking shelter, navigating, planning for the weather, and staying safe. Sturdy, water-resistant construction--including a spiral binding and plastic pages--makes this a perfect guide when you're where you need it most: in the wilderness! The diagrams are easy to follow, and tabbed pages allow for quick indexing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Basic Book, September 20, 2011

T. Defense - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pocket Guide to Hiking/Backpacking (Paperback)

This is easy to use, the price is right and it gives you the basics, which is all a lot of us needs. If you are a "professional" Hiker or Backpacker then this isn't for you nor was it intended for you. This is a great book that is simple to use, easy to reference and it comes with coated pages. Great job!
