It is Ok but... 16 Feb 2003
By microjoe - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
First of all the interior artwork is very charming, featuring some humerous line drawings. I gave it an extra star for that. As for the content, this book is OK but... I could not help wanting more. It looks big but has these huge margins on each page that are repeating what is in the text, most of the time.

It covers many ranges of the camping topic, but it does not cover any of them deeply enough, or make solid reccommendations. For example on the tents section, they cover the basic shapes of tents and lightly review what are some of the best points of each, but it is a thin review. They do not make any outright reccommendations and it is like the light fluff stuff you see in the Saturday newspaper articles. Most subjects are glossed over very quickly. I guess I am spoiled since I have quite a few books in my camping library to draw from. The books offered by Cliff Jacobson are good even though they are shorter, and are offered here at Amazon.com as well. The best I have found is the "The Backpackers Handbook, 2nd edition". Also the "Roughing It Easy" book is really good if you like a book that tells you how to amke your own gear and camp economically.

Super guide 5 Mar 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
With many photos and illistrations, Simple Tent Camping is a must have book for anyone interested in spending time in the great outdoors. The book walks the reader through the steps of buying equipment, planing a trip, setting up a site, cooking food, first aid, and even provides lessons for taking trips by canoe. If you are new to camping, or looking for a more in depth guide, Simple Tent Camping is a must have.
