5.0 out of 5 stars Camping like you never believed!!!, 29 Mar 2007
Camping with style, great tips, the recipes are simply out of this world. The book for campers without a doubt.... and for those that never trusted themselves. It is just an all rounder. The combination of fantastic practical tips, great locations and enticing photos makes it also a great read. Definitely worth a purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disspointing, 3 Jun 2008
Just a word of caution for those convinced by all the enthusiastic reviews here (like I was). This book makes a nice read and would be a good addition to the coffee table, but can hardly be useful for any camping trip which lasts longer than a weekend.
Even though I very much agree with the philosophy of 'comfortable' camping, the advice in this book is not really practical. Just an example: replacing the sleeping bags with pillows, duvets and the rest as the book suggests will not only fill up your car boot to the brim, but will also turn into a nightmare if you get water into your tent. Unless, of course, you are on a weekend trip and can just turn around and drive home.
Similarly the recipes (which are great on their own) do not really differ from what you may find in a 'normal' cookbook and certainly assume that you always have access to fresh ingredients and a suitable place to store them, not to mention the unlimited fuel and cooking equipment. Once again, great for a weekend-long picnic, but not really practical for a week of driving around Scotland.

All in all, it's a nice book, but don't get mislead by the reviews: it's great to take on a picnic, but is useless for a longer trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Book highly recommended if you have a passion for camping ! , 14 Jun 2007
By M. Williams (Wales UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ignore the previous review, if he is recommending a backpacker's handbook then this book wouldnt be any good to him anyway as its not about backpacking. This book is fantastic (and i know i wont do it any justice), it has great hints and tips about camping and the recipies are great! this book proves that camping can be a luxury getaway with friends and family, its great to hear about other peoples tales and stories about their experiences of camping and just shows thats its not all about plastic cutlery, paper plates and damp sleeping bags! give this book a go and you WONT be disappointed.
