Industry Reviews

"For expert advice … you’d do well to turn to an about-to-be-published book Backpacking 101. Balogh Rochfort gives easy-to-follow instructions on how to … handle snake bites, bear and mountain lion encounters, getting lost, and medical emergencies. She does all of this in a light, fun-to-read book. So even though one of the key bits of advice in the guide is to keep your backpack light, this book may be a bit of extra weight you’d be wise to carry along."
