This fun to read, fun to look at, informative backpackin book is just simply a great book. The art is fantastic while maintaining relevant tips. The writing is well organized and easy to read. This book has given me the necessary info and made me re-think how I backpack. No longer will I carry the 14 inch Dutch oven and the 3 burner camp chef. Thanks gentlemen for a great book.
