Basic Essentials Backpacking 2nd
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 5/5 from 1 reviews More usable information in 60 pages than most have in 600This book does not try to make you an expert backpacker, and therein lies its beauty. Harry Roberts knows that experience is the only route to expertise, so he only tells you enough to start getting experience. He doesn't confuse you with more information than you need, but he doesn't leave out anything important. As a result, this book has more usable information in 60 pages than most have in 600. He doesn't bore you with endless detail about gear brands and features (which will change next week anyhow.) Instead, he gives you a short, practical gear list and tips on what you do - and don't - need on the trail. If, like me, you're a recreational backpacker, this may well be the only book you'll ever need. | ||||||||||||||||||||
