Editorial Reviews

Review
"Expedition Canoeing is a comprehensive resource for your next canoe adventure." -- Tim Jackson, Editor, Canoe and Kayak magazine

"Expedition Canoeing offers firsthand advice for all stages and aspects of the journey" -- Andrew C. Hubsch,

"Impressively comprehensive, whether you already are--or want to be a 'supercanoeist' with a yearning for the wild." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune--Jerry Zgoda

"Jacobson's knowledge of expedition canoeing runs deeper than the rivers he's paddled--and every ounce comes out in Expedition Canoeing." -- Eugene Buchanan, Paddler magazine

Product Description
Expedition Canoeing (formerly titled Canoeing Wild Rivers) is the premier guide to canoeing and exploring North America's waterways. This completely revamped edition expertly details everything you need to know about paddling the continent's wild rivers.

Cliff Jacobson uses his thirty plus years of river running to give you sound advice and advanced techniques for canoeing in the wilderness. You will find dozens of black-and-white and color photos, how-to illustrations, canoeing and camping tricks, and a discussion of GPS navigation. In a chapter new to this edition, the author augments his recommendations with the hard-won advice of fellow canoeing experts.

Preparation and skills are everything when expedition canoeing. Take along this guide on all of your canoeing adventures.

This guide contains information on how to pick a crew, route and trip planning, canoeing and camping gear, how to deal with dangerous bears, canoe hazards and rescue, barren-land travel and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!, March 19, 1998

By	Rob Robertson (robrobertson@juno.com) (Poughkeepsie, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Canoeing Wild Rivers: A Primer to North American Expedition Canoeing (Paperback)

Jacobson's comprehensive work on planning, outfitting, and executing a wilderness canoe trip of a couple days to a couple months is a wonderful antidote to February cabin fever, and a godsend to those who would rather not reinvent the wheel. He covers canoe, equipment, crew and route selection; mapreading and orienteering; packing,cooking,and emergency repairs,and apparently every other relevant topic. This book is packed with excellent hints and recommendations, and it's worth every penny of the purchase price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent , if you are already well traveled in the field!, November 6, 1999

By	Stan Herman (Pueblo , Co.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Canoeing Wild Rivers: A Primer to North American Expedition Canoeing (Paperback)

This is not a book for the novice. I suppose it would be enjoyed but to really apprieciate the excellent ideas and tips, I think one would need to have many wilderness miles in your log. I rank this book with Colin Fletcher's [The Complete Walker] from back in the 70's at the top of the advanced "how to books" list. Well written with just the right amount of stories and humor. This is not to be read by just those useing canoes or traveling the far north. If you spend as much time as you can get away with "out there" you will love this read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expedition Canoeing sets the new standard, December 15, 2000

By	Zach Mills (Ft Collins, CO USA) - See all my reviews

Cliff Jacobson has once agian set a new standard for canoe tripping literature. In his most recent publication, Expedition Canoeing: A guide to Canoeing Wild Rivers in North America, Jabobson goes where no other book of this kind has gone. The book is a thorough and comprehensive collection of every aspect of expedition canoe travel. Jacobson covers everything from choosing a river to the meals that you can prepare in barren land, but what sets this book apart from others is that he includes his own novel concepts for the trail alongside time-tested techniques that only someone with his experience can add. This book will surely become the standard against which all other books of this nature will be measured. The book is an absolute must for anyone wishing to venture north with a canoe.

Good reference book, interesting read. The section on BEARS pays for the whole thing. Here I thought I was doing right, but now I find that I am lucky I ain't been et yet.
