Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
A sensible, personal discussion of canoe camping, particularly in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, based on Bell and her husband's 15 years of experience. For her, elegance refers to things done simply, efficiently, and with style. She decribes for beginners how to prepare, what to take, and how to enjoy such a trip. This is not a manual of paddling techniques, map reading, or exotic wild food preparation. Instead, it is a pleasant, encouraging, environmentally conscious introductionwith brief lists of equipment sources and suggested readingwritten by a convert who learned much through trial and error and who wants to share the pleasure with others. For public libraries. Roland Person, Southern Illinois Univ. Lib., Carbondale

5.0 out of 5 stars The best how-to guide for canoe camping/tripping, March 15, 2000
By G. Harp (New London, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best how-to guide to canoe camping/tripping--period. Ms. Bell covers the gambut of canoe camping, from planning, equipment selection, considerations concerning traveling with children, health & safety issues, and on and on. It exhaustively covers every imaginable topic, and should answer any question any potential canoe tripper might have. We've been canoe tripping in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness for several years, and Roughing it Elegantly is our how-to guide book. Even veterans will find it useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful, December 13, 2006
I have backpacked and camped for years, but when I decided to try canoe camping, I had questions. This book provided guidance. First, we were going to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, and that's the focus area of this book. From Roughing It Elegantly, we gained a better idea of how to pack and portage a canoe, and learned about how canoeists pace themselves. I also got some great recipes! This book spends a good deal of time discussing the pleasantries of canoeing to and through a wild area, not just describing how to lug equipment. A pleasant and useful read.
