Book Reviews of The Backpacker's Field Manual, Revised and Updated: A Comprehensive Guide to Mastering Backcountry Skills

Book Review: A "Must Have" book for the outdoorsman
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a must have for anybody who enjoys the outdoors and is invaluable to people in leadership positions who want to share their passion with others.

This book has valuable information for the person who is far from a rookie at backpacking, but not quite an AT through-hiker. It is filled with what I can only describe as "Sophomore level" backpacking knowledge and helps get that person who enjoys backpacking to the next level in enjoying the sport.

A interesting feature I found upon reading this book is it is full of excellent information for the person who is well established as a backpacker and wants to introduce new people to the sport. Rick Curtis, the author, is the director of the Outdoor Action Program at Princeton and he shares his knowledge of teaching outdoor skills in this book. He lays out a wonderful base on which to share one's passion for backpacking with others and breaks it down for any learning curve and physical ability.

As an added bonus Curtis has included on the book's website numerous documents to assist you in your trip planning and other aspects of backpacking.
