Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
For those just getting into hiking and backpacking, this edition of the 101 Essential Tips series provides a handy overview of the basics. While some of the subjects covered will definitely require additional sources for a full understanding (how to use a map and compass, for instance), most of the tips are geared to getting the reader out the door and on the trail in a safe fashion. Tips include how to choose a backpack, what food to bring, how to pack, how to dress for cold weather, and, well, 96 others. Color photos and sensible text make this a welcome guide for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars a color photo is worth a thousand words, October 25, 2000
This is a 72-page book that has something none of my other backpacking books have--color photos! LOTS of photos. Photos of socks, shoes, tents, lights, walking sticks, camping food (pre-cooked), hiking gadgets, fire ingredients, campsite pests. It's got photos showing how to cross water, how to read a topo map, how to use a compass, how to pack a backpack, more more more. It's not the 'Exhaustive Guide to Hiking,' but it's amazing what it packs into a tiny space. If you're new to hiking or backpacking, it's a bargain and a most efficient way to absorb a lot of information in an hour or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for kids, July 8, 2002
By Donald Frambach (Ventura, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
My 11 year old son and I are just beginning to backpack. This was a great book for him to read. Not very long, lots of pictures. For an adult, it is a bit superficial.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Expansive Info for Beginner Hikers!, June 19, 2000
By A Customer
This tiny book can even fit in your backpack! Illustrations accompany brief explanations to almost any hiking question...Weather signs, packing, equipment recommended, how to read a map, and even natural wildlife information/identification. This is a fun starter book to get you ready and excited for your next hiking excursion. I rate this book a four only because it could have been more specific at times.
