5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the 'newby' camper, 30 Jan 2009

By	Mrs. G. H. Osborne "Eeyore" (Leeds) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having not camped since childhood, I was a bit nervous about camping again, as an adult with children. I was looking for something that would give me a few hints and tips about what to expect, about what to take and what would be best left at home. This book was great, it went through the basics, and gave me the confidence to introduce my own children to camping.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, 13 Nov 2008

By	James S. Teppin "teppin lost soul" (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've rated this book with 3 stars, but if i was new to camping it might of got 4 stars. I bought the book hoping it could teach an experienced camper some new tricks, it didn't! I disagree with some of the authors conclusions, for example he doesn't think catalogues etc should include floor plans, because he thinks you should always see a tent up before you purchase. So what happens if you see an Internet bargain and you are good at maths and interpreting plans? So long as you know what you're after with regards to porch area and spec etc and don't take berth sizes seriously, it's hard to go wrong.

The author doesn't really stress the importance of types of camping and how that should effect your purchases. For example weekend camping, holiday camping etc. Your tent and equipment should reflect how much time you intend spending in your tent and how many meals you will cook yourself. For example if you only go away for a few odd weekends a year, what's wrong with gas canisters and battery operated lanterns?

The author obviously loves traditional camping with camp fires and canvas tents and to be honest i miss scout camps too. But if you're a group of lads planning a weekend of camping and beer or a family after convenience, this isn't a book for you. You'd be better off talking to an experienced "camper", so to speak.
