Full Description

An enjoyable camping trip involves careful planning and the proper equipment. Even in well-provisioned campgrounds, like those found in many national parks, there is plenty of unpredictability. To ensure that unexpected happenings add to your enjoyment rather than detract from it, it's helpful to have an easy-to-use reference. Included in this comprehensive resource are basics like a reversible packing checklist, tips for choosing a campsite and setting up a safe camp, notes on tying knots, fire-starting how-to, and classic camp recipes. To help you dig even deeper, there are also overviews of potentially dangerous animals and plants, as well as wilderness first aid. To cap it all off, there's a guide to navigating prominent constellations in the night sky. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, waterproof, 12-panel folding pocket guide can be used in all weather conditions by campers of any age or experience level who wish to hone their camp craft. Made in the USA.
