Summary: Will show you how to enjoy the outdoors well below zero!
Comment: This is really a great guide that just about covers every relevant detail on winter camping. Its been my springboard to extensive winter outdoor activity. In here you'll find all the basics: Gorman discusses everything from gear for travel like skis, to camping technique, to clothing, safety, etc. He presents modern techniques & tips but he also mentions traditional info. as applicable.
Specific to this edition of the book are a handful of new pictures but most of the material is almost the same as the earlier edition, which is to say great. Thus if you can't get a hold of this edition not to worry as the previous edition is as good.

Summary: An absolute "must" for novice campers.
Comment: Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Stephen Gorman's Winter Camping continues to be a superb introductory "how to" guide for enjoying the special allure of winter camping. This comprehensive manual covers gear selection from tends and clothing to stoves and sleds; travel tips for skiing, hiking, and snowshoeing (including naviagion and ice travel); winter safety including weath and health, injury prevention, hypothermia, and winter rescue; and making camp including site selection, tents, snow caves, and snow houses. Of special value is the information on backcountry skiing and ski mountaineering. Exceptionally well laid out and organized, Winter Camping is an absolute "must" for novice campers, and has a great deal of value for even experienced winter campers.
Rating: 4
Summary: Worth buying
Comment: This is an excellent resource for beginner winter campers. I have read through all of the winter and snow camping books and literature available and find this one to be the most complete. Gorman mentions a lot of the details that many other authors leave out. You may notice as I did however, that the cover scene is used about five times throughout the book. A good book, worth it's price.
