Summary: A Unparalleled Work: Truly "The Hiker's Bible"
Comment: This is possibly the longest single book I've ever read and I do not at all regret reading it. On the contrary I enjoyed it, learned from it, and was entertained by it. I have been a regular reader of Backpacker magazine and plenty of other hiking related material for a long time (and am an experienced hiker). This book is the best and most complete single book on the subject in existence on the subject (at least in English - not that I know of any other in any other language). No if, and's or but's - simply the best.

Summary: Still splendid after all these years!
Comment: This book - in all of its previous editions - was always a delightful companion for the outdoors enthusiast, full of wit, cheekiness, and wry observational humor. It's also the single best source of information about camping & hiking gear (philosophically and materially). The text's new, "conversational" dialogue between Fletcher and Rawlins takes some getting used to, but the different perspectives of the two authors have really increased the book's usefulness and value - Rawlins seems perfectly suited to serve as Fletcher's authorial mate and foil. Again, the practical info. is priceless, but the real star of the book continues to be the writing. I don't know how many times I have (once again) found myself laughing aloud while reading passages from this book. This is the camping & hiking book against which all others are measured (and I've certainly read more than my share of them).
Rating: 5
Summary: Always a Favorite
Comment: I bought the original edition way back when. This one updates the lore and is sound advice. Collin Fletcher "paved" the way... to the outdoors for many people. His exploits are legendary, his writing style superb.
