Customer Reviews

Awesome Book!!

I purchased a copy of this book for my wife. Being a traditional city girl, she was quite skeptical of there being any fun from backpacking and camping out in the woods. After reading this book she was more than game to give it a try and we've been able to go several times using various tips, hints and recipes from the book. I haven't read the entire book myself but I've read a few chapters here and there and the author does a great job to get beginners excited AND well prepared for a trip. There's even tons of goodies for veteran backpackers too! Loved the book so much we purchased a second copy to give to a friend who now comes along on our backpacking excursions.

Great gift for beginners

I got this as a gift for a family member that we want to go camping with us. It's a great beginners guide for all things camping related.

A New Cool How-To Book

A book that makes camping sound like an adventure for even the most citified folks. A hip writing style and great details about how to protect your food from bears, and the value of duct tape keeps you reading and wanting more. Some descriptive passages make you laugh out loud.

buy it for every adventurous urban girl you know

i picked up this book and had trouble putting it down. it is hysterical, informative, inspirational & just a simple great read. reading this book makes me want to run out & buy a tent right now - and buy a bunch of copies for my friends to convince them to join me for a primitive adventure. it's nice to know that girls can still be girls out in the woods (i can bring my kiehl's lip balm!) and that camping can involve good wine, good cheese, good friends, and some pretty great memories.

Great guide for girls and the great outdoors!

Perfect guide for a city girl who wants to try to brave the great outdoors. Don't be fooled by its cute design, its not only great looking it is full of real information and tips to get you ready and through your trip. Hip and smart, just like the girls it is written for!
