Beginners and experienced hikers alike will find this book indispensable for trip planning strategies and also as a quick reference on the trail for:
Backcountry skills - how to forecast the weather, identify trees, bear-proof your campsite, wrap an injured ankle, and more
Tricks of the trail - time-tested practical lessons learned along the way
