Hiking, biking, paddling, and skiing share a few common
traits when it comes time to make camp. But they also
have a number of unique concerns that need to be
addressed. The authors of Making Camp--four field experts
from Backpacker magazine--have done just that by
dedicating a chapter to each pursuit. Steve Howe's
backpacking chapter discusses the basics of trip
planning. Alan Kesselheim's paddling chapter addresses
water-travel specifics such as loading a boat and
waterproofing bags. Dennis Coello equips your bike for
heavy loads and suggests how to combine the proper
saddle, shorts, and personalized seat angle. Finally,
John Harlin tackles the world of snow camping. He teaches
you how to survive the elements with a variety of
shelters, including a high-wind-proof tent, and how to
delicately dig your first snow cave.
