Book: Backpacker's Handbook - 2008

If you claim the outdoors as your religion, then Chris Townsend's Backpacker's Handbook is your sacred text. And if not, it's still a pretty invaluable book, anyway. This guide provides the essential information on all aspects of backcountry travel, whether you're just getting started or are already cutting the handle off your toothbrush and creating your own dehydrated meals. Townsend covers all the pertinent topics, from choosing equipment and backcountry cooking, to safety hazards and route finding. Plan and prepare yourself for any situation on the trail with the Backpacker's Handbook.

Bottom Line: This book helps you travel the backcountry without a trace.
