From the Author:

For pleasureable camping, organize ahead of time.
Camping is thrilling, adventurous, inexpensive, and available to everyone. Wildlife, celestial shows, closeness with family and friends away from everyday distractions, all renew one's spirit. Since it's so much fun, why doesn't everyone camp more frequently? We all suffer from inertia. If our camping equipment is in need of repair or replacement, if it lies scattered around the house, or if we aren't sure we have the necessary gear, we are not motivated to camp. The Well-Organized Camper will help you eliminate all the obstacles that get in the way of outdoor fun. Definitive lists show you what to take - and what to leave at home- for all different types of camping. Perhaps you'd like to try a short backpack trip, an overnight paddling trip, a winter-camping vacation, or a camping adventure with your children. Maybe you'd like to try camping, instead of staying in hotels, during your next trip abroad. This book will show you how to get organized for all of these adventures. Instructions and recipes are included for creating your own tasty one-pot home-dried meals; never again will you need to cook while you're camping. For even more recipes, see my other book, High Trail Cookery: All-Natural, Home-Dried, Palate-Pleasing Meals for the Backpacker. Thank you, and happy camping. Linda Frederick Yaffe
