Book Review: THE Must-Have Piece of Reading During Your Hike!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book about a month before a planned Inca Trail hike/trek and I must say this book was EXTREMELY helpful in EVERY regard in preparing me (both physically and mentally!) for the hike. Not only did it include plentiful information and facts regarding things like altitude effects, physical preparedness musts and extensive lists of items for the trek, but it narrated an almost kilometer-by-kilometer (more so day by day) synopsis of what I'd see and how the trail would proceed (curve here, climb there for X amount of time, etc.). The volumes I learned from this reader helped me mentally prepare myself for the Inca Trail challenge...I HIGHLY encourage anyone planning the trek to purchase this reader: a lot of valuable information paired with the fact that the reader is lightweight and waterproof (good things when bringing it on a 4 day/3 night hike!) make it a worthwhile purchase.
