Reviews

"Crowded with information on gearing up, food and fuel, finding your way, making and breaking camp.... A commonsense and literate approach." - Los Angeles Times "For the most complete overall picture of what genuine wildemess camping entails, the Sierra Club's Walking Softly in the Wilderness is the ultimate manual." - Houston Chronicle"
