Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-01 00:00:00 Carol Near Some of the ideas are outdated, odd, and some are actually dangerous. He recommends not using sunglasses because they are simply a "crutch." It as an odd book in several respects. I felt like he was giving his opinions and in many respects I know an experienced outdoors-person would differ. The book was published in 1982 so it is also badly outdated. By the way, the author is not the well known author, historian and explorer Robert L. Wood. In some cases he reiterated common backpacking myths that are not at all well founded. He suggests reading his other book to get complete information in a number of cases. Hmmm... Because of the writing style and obsolesce I would recommend any other more recent book, even the beginning backpacker. Very good artwork. Questionable poetry.
