(More customer reviews)This book is great. It gives all the essential information you need for just about everything to know or have in the backcountry. Covers everything from hiking up, to snowboarding down. Includes preparation needs too. Got a lot visuals, which makes it more easier to learn and its got a glossary for words you're not familiar with. It's a must buy.
