Supreme long-distance hiker Andrew Skurka shares his hard-earned knowledge in this essential guide to backpacking gear and skills.
Learn exactly what you need to carry -- both on your back and between your ears -- for all seasons and circumstances through a show-and-tell of clothing, footwear, backpacks, shelter and sleep systems, and more, as well as through detailed articles on foot care, campsite selection and hiking efficiency.
I bought this book yesterday with a book token I got for my 40th birthday. Skurka cuts through the BS and tells it like it is! Can't wait to get out there.
I received my book last week. It is a fantastic read with a lot of helpful info. It caused me to take a serious look at my gear and how I use it. I realized I was packing WAY too much. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with everyone.
I bought this book off of Amazon and it shipped today...looking forward to getting it.
@andym8012 This is the "First Edition" and it's a huge improvement over the "beta" version, which was functional but admittedly lacking in various ways. National Geographic did an an awesome job in tightening up the text and laying it out. There's a strong narrative to every chapter, but it's super reader-friendly because they interspersed it with lots of call-out boxes and pictures. Would love to know what you think about it.
I own the "beta" version of this book, and read it twice! I plan on buying the new finished edition, and giving my old one to a friend! Can't recommend this enough.
Can't wait for this book, preordered on amazon uk, your adventures have inspired me to get off my ass and do my first long distance walk. Thanks my friend :)
professional hiker!!!! i want that gig! ill be checking out your book for sure!
I just received this book from Amazon, and I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised at how comprehensive it is.
@camper905 By turning your time spent hiking into interesting and useful blog posts, articles, and books. You can also take the photo angle as John Fielder has.
It's about damn time.
Nice! Way to go Andy
Looks great, huge fan!
I'd buy that.
Have you ever considered hiking in New Zealand? I always thought that would be a fun place to explore.
Heck yeah!
Hey Walker, will ya still autograph the book for us? And have you thought about another hike yet, New Zealands new trail, or how about Australia? Take care man, Wheelchair John
