Book Reviews of Backpacker's Start-Up: A Beginner's Guide to Hiking and Backpacking (Start-Up Sports series)
Book Review: Okay
Summary: 2 Stars
I am a beginner hiker. I bought this book based on the price and recommendations from below. There isn't any information in this book that can't be found on hiking websites. I felt it was a waste of money. It wasn't bad, and if you know NOTHING about camping, it's a good place to start - but there are better resources out there.
