Hiking & Camping Books

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson and he has really enjoyed it so far and will for years to come. I told him that since I hate to hear the words "I'm bored" he now has no excuse to say them around me again. He can pull out this book and...

This book is basically a rip off of the Boy Scout handbook. You want your boy to appreciate the outdoors, lay off the video games and TV for a bit? Don't bother buying this book and going at it alone. Contact your local Boy Scout Council and get...

Excellent condition. Good Book, but evolutionist based as far as science goes. We just work around it.

There are 2 parts to this book. Part 1 is awesome! It is a great story of 2 men hiking part of the Appalachian Trail and the ups and downs they had doing it. It's funny, witty and well written. Part 2 however lags a bit. The author drives part of...

It's been several years since I read this book, but it still annoys me. Bryson neatly avoids the truth: he can't hack it. He quits. He gives up. But along the way he's sure to make fun of other hikers. He's going to get it done in his jeans, he...

This is not a how-to hike the Appalachian Trail book. This not a serious hikers diary of thru hiking the whole AT either. I'm not even sure it's nonfiction. It was historically informative in spots and funny in spots.
Ecology info was...

A huge compendium of information from animal husbandry to construction and crafts to gardening...even how to recipes. That's the good news. I have great admiration for Storey Books and own many of their products. This book, however, is not up...

We bought the book because we had never heard of geocaching until we stumbled upon it on the internet. It has a lot of useful information to get you started. We have gone out a couple of times so far and have enjoyed the hunt. Some of the info in...

Learn how to navigate in the woods with this guide to the compass. All boy scouts will love these tips. This is the most comprehensive guide of its kind.

I think the few pages of map/compass reading, undestanding and wilderness orienteering pale in comparison to all the games, gatherings and contests the author discusses.

For the price, vastly overrated, over priced.

I was...

If you like Chuck Palahniuk and have been to Portland, you will love this book.

As he writes in his epilogue, "This is not Portland, Oregon." Just scads of non-site-specific deegradation written in clipped New Yorker prose. Elliptical descriptions of perversion after perversion, spilling over the pages to become one big bore....

This is one of those strange little books that will...

Two years ago we took a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. Unfortunately we were in port too short a time and only went on a few packaged bus tours. We returned to the island we liked the best (the Big Island) last month and fortunately had the...

I love my pedometer, purchased after seeing Fenton in Supersize Me. I love it so much, I bought 6 Omrons in recent weeks to give to good friends. But the book - whoa! Feeble. It felt like a magazine article, pumped full of air to bring it up...
