5 out of 5 stars Best book of its kind i have seen   July 2, 2006
I got three backpacking type handbooks at a library and read all three this is by far the best one. It has the most in depth information and is enjoyable to read.


5 out of 5 stars The title says it all...   June 26, 2006

This is, without doubt, the best book on backpacking I've read. Just the right balance between specific recommendations and general advice, objective information and personal opinion.


5 out of 5 stars A Must Have for your Backpacking Library   March 2, 2006

What I liked most about this book is that it is very up to date with available equipment. This is a very informative book and Mr. Townsend does an excellent job of preparing you for a successful backpacking trip. I sell backpacking gear for a living and this is one of the books that I recommend to customers both novice and experienced.
