Summary: Just the basics
Rating: 3
I picked this book up as it was eligible for the 4 for 3 promotion. It covers the basics well, but doesn't go into as many specifics as I would like. If you have any real interest, you will quickly be through this book and looking for more detailed information. I suggest "The Backpacker's Field Manual" by Rick Curtis instead, as it is much more detailed and wont leave you unfulfilled.
Summary: Basic Information
Rating: 3
I purchased this book because I'm new to backpacking, and haven't gone camping in years. I still remember most of my camp skills, so I wanted a reference for the light weight world of packing.
The book has good information in it, but I agree with a previous review when they say it's all information you can get from a google search.
I did like the gear guidance, and there were a couple tips I found useful. However I would recommend "Allen & Mike's Really Cool Backpackin' Book" instead of this one. It's got everything this start up guide has, and more.
Summary: Very Basic
Rating: 3
Although there were a few things that I learned from this book, it's full of info that can be found virtually anywhere else. It didn't go into detail about certain things and raised more questions than it answered.
Summary: Great place to start!
Rating: 5
Great for beginners, and may be food for thought for hikers with some experience. not only tells you what to do, but WHY. simple easy to read format. If you want to know where to start, this is a GOOD book!
Summary: Okay

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.
