Summary: Great Companion Book
Comment: I have read this book 15-20 times now and have continously enjoyed it each time. I would say the only misgiving I have is that some of the equipment the Mike recommends is no longer available.
This is a very broad book -- covering a number of topics from car camping to canoe camping. Since we have children, we appreciate the fact that the book is a family camping book!
Pick it up if you want good book to get you into camping.

Summary: Good starter book for the total novice: me
Comment: I got this book when I decided to follow a my lifelong dream of seeing the country, and I didn't want to do it from a motel room. This book gave me all I needed to know to get started buying gear and how to survive my own cooking in the woods.
My only complaint is an editorial one: Has no one ever told this author about first and later references? Every single photo of his children and every reference is of "My son, Jon-Michael" or "My daughter, Abby." After the first time or two, I KNOW the childrens' names and who they are and could have stood not having the "My son or daughter" with every reference.
Just an annoyance - it really was a good book to get started camping.

Summary: Excellent book for starters or the experienced
Comment: Camping Made Easy is an excellent manual for all of those who are interested in camping, but don't know how to get started. The author outlines practically every aspect of camping that you can think of, including: equipment (with great buying tips), types of camping spaces, cooking and food in various situations, backpacking, hiking, biking, canoeing, wildlife watching, and fishing. There is also lots of really great information about camping (and related activities) with your kids, something that I think most readers will appreciate. I can't think of any questions that you will have that will go unanswered with this book.
The author discusses the basic how-to's of each activity, gives great suggestions for figuring out what kind of equipment you do (and don't) need, offers some suggestions on howt to aquire equipment on a budget, and how to squeeze the most fun out of your trip. He even helps with organizational ideas for storing and caring for your equipment, including his own packing lists.
Experienced campers will find lots of neat tips for making camping life a little easier. For example; if you have ever struggled with a slippery sleeping pad under your bag, try applying some glue or tent sealant to the pad. After it dries, you will have instant traction!
I highly recommend Camping Made Easy. The book is highly useful, incredibly readable, and even funny at times as the author recounts his own experiences in the wild. If nothing else, the menus offered for camp eating will certainly stir a hunger!
