Backpacking is as old as slinging chunks of a woolly mammoth over the shoulder for hauling to the cave — and as new as the urge felt deeply by millions of Americans to flee the maniac megalopolis.
The 20 chapters tell and show how the absolute novice can make an easy, glad transition from city sidewalks to wilderness paths. A classic.
