I was at the Outdoor Expo and was looking at a much smaller book, for half as much money...It was the only one I saw (and they were very numerous) on the many trails Arizona has to offer.

This was a really fun book. OK, I am a guy and if I was a girl, I would probably not be a Betty, but I do spend a lot of time backpacking and the author pretty well nailed what you need to know to have fun in the woods.

Falcon, 2005 it's worth the weight In 1992 the first edition of The Backcountry Classroom leapt into Wilderness Educators backpacks and was welcomed with open arms and praise.

This book is great fun. I have lots of winter camping books and do a fair amount of winter camping.

I do alpine skiing and snowshoeing so the coverage of tele skiing wasn't of ...             Backcountry Adventures Northern California: The Ultimate Guide to the Backcountry for Anyone with a Sport ...11 reviews Peter Massey, Jeanne Wilson Adler Publishing Co, 2006 Excellent book -- buy the new edition I won't rehash how good this book is, you have all 9 other reviews to do it. Just a note of caution, make sure you buy the latest edition (from 2006). Amazon still lists the one from 2002 first in the search results. I like the GPS coordinates, and the fact that it gives directions and mileage for each trail in both directions. So you have a lot more flexibility on how you plan your outing.             Backcountry Cooking: From Pack to Plate in 10 Minutes (Backpacker Field Guides)5 reviews Dorcas S.

It may not have the largest number of recipes, but the ones it does have are well thought out, backpacker friendly, and just plain good. The book has a lot of variety too. Each recipe is organized into two parts, the pre-hike preparation (what to do at home) and then then a on-trail section.

Rich Osthoff knows what he is talking about. I have read many books that attempt to cover backcountry flyfishing, and none have done so as well as Osthoff's. As an experienced backcountry flyfisherman, I found Osthoff is right on the money with all he had to say. There was still a lot of material to challenge even the experinced though. If you have any interest in catching gorgeous fish in an ...              search for books 1754-1765, adventures, backcountry, backpacker, breaking, california, camping, classroom, comprehensive, environment, hampshire, hardcover, mastering, mountain, mountaineering, mountaineers, northern, pennsylvania, roughing, snowboard, snowboarding, southern, teaching, traveling, ultimate, utility, vehicle, vermont, virginia, wilderness books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
