Customer Reviews

This book is hilarious....In a GOOD way!

The author, Kevin Callan, sure has a great sense of knowledge of the outdoors (and uses his great sense of humor to guide you through this book!) I own several books on backpacking and the outdoors, and this is hands-down one of my favorites. It has a great layout with highlighted sections including smart tips, AND funny pictures of the author and his friends demonstrating how to.....(or, how NOT to) survive in the wild!!! But overall, I found this book to be very useful and informative. And I enjoyed it's most valued lesson...It's okay to LAUGH while you LEARN! A+
