If you enjoy hill walking, climbing, adventuring, or a really good read about the great outdoors, then this is the book for you. It is useful, pratical, and written by someone with much experience in the matter. One warning however, if you own or have read Colins Gem Hillwalkers survival guide don't buy the book as the contents are very similar in many places. otherwise a must have for every backpack.
