A commonsense and literate approach."--"Los Angeles Times "For the most complete overall picture of what genuine wilderness camping entails, the Sierra Club's "Walking Softly "in the Wilderness is the ultimate manual."--"Houston Chronicle
From the Author
Reviews of new edition and invitation for input
Just want to emphasize that the edition now on sale is new (1998) and completely revised. The >Los Angeles Times< said of the new >Walking Softly<: "Backpacking is a simple endeavor. But doing it well and without damaging the environment requires skill and knowledge, from how to use a lightweight stove to keeping provisions out of bears' paws. This is a fine primer." >Rock and Ice< said: "Beginning with the essential gear for a backcountry trip, the book's concise, readable chapters work logically through an entire expedition, from planning to routefinding to camping to emergencies. And each chaper is packed with practical, low-impact tips that, when taken with the whole of the book, make this one of the most comprehensive guides to the sport." >Backpacker< wrote: "On the greener side of the how-to Hall of Fame, this is the only comprehensive guidebook to thoroughly integrate minimum impact skills."
Keeping a book like this up to date is a never-ending process. I would love to hear from readers with reactions and (especially) corrections and criticisms.
