Excellent for beginners. Not the best choice for others.
23 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I read this book before going to my first excursion and it was very useful. If you are a beginner, want to go to a light trip and know nothing about backpacking, setting a tent, cooking in the middle of the countryside, etc, this book is an excellent choice. If you are experienced, I guess that this book will be very basic for you.

Great!...For Neophytes.
12 April 2001
Format:Paperback
Like the other reviews mention, there is a dearth of info here. The problem is that it's all very basic. If you're looking to upgrade your knowledge and have had nominal experience hiking or backpacking, then this is not a good source. However, if you've never been backpacking before and know nothing about wilderness survival then this is a great start.
