About This Book

The handbook offers practical instruction for recreational long-distance walking and backcountry touring, aimed at improving health and wilderness competence. It explains choosing and packing lightweight equipment, selecting and fitting packs, footwear and shelter, making camps and beds, cooking and rationing, map reading and navigation, and first-aid and health precautions; chapters address winter travel and techniques for efficient cruising with a pack. Advice balances gear lists and technical how-to steps with guidance on pacing, physical conditioning, and emergency preparedness, and an appendix provides supplemental details and corrections.
