3 of 3 people found the following review helpful:  The best book on backpacking., This review is from: The Essential Backpacker: A Complete Guide for the Foot Traveler (Paperback) I have many books on backpacking, this one is the shortest and the most useful. This book gets right to the point and is chock full of information, while it seems other books say a lot of things such as "find out what poison ivy looks like" or "learn how to use a compass" this book actually gives you the information. It also has great (b&w) pictures which are relevant and helpful. Whether you are planning a dayhike or something much longer this book will be a valuable resource, I think it's the best of them all! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: The Essential Backpacker, By Elie Murphy (from Alaska) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Essential Backpacker: A Complete Guide for the Foot Traveler (Paperback) The Essential Backpacker: A Complete Guide for the Foot Traveler is a good reference book for beginning and more experienced backwoods trekker/campers. Keeping your backpack contents within a reasonable carry-weight and still have everything you need to be reasonably comfortable and also contain emergency items for the unexpected, is a challenge that needs to be met for each planned trip. |
