Book Reviews of The Backpacker's Field Manual, Revised and Updated: A Comprehensive Guide to Mastering Backcountry Skills

Book Review: Great Reference Book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great book for beginners and experienced hikers/campers alike. For beginners it offers a lot of great advice and it is a great little refresher for those of us long on the trail.

It is way to heavy to carry with, so study up before you go.

Some of the leave no trace stuff is a little over the top.

Highly recommended.
