The Backpacker's Field Manual: A Comprehensive Guide to Mastering Backcountry Skills can instruct even the most novice trekkers how to travel safely and comfortably in the wilderness. It covers the basics that beginners need for choosing gear, food, clothing, and supplies, as well as how to tread the wilderness without interfering sensitive ecosystems. The Director of Outdoor Action in Princeton, Rick Curtis, also writes to more advanced trekkers with critical insight into first aid, finding lost people, seeking shelter in lighting storms, and repairing broken equipment.
