Praise for the first edition: A great all-around guide by a top camping expert for campers of any skill level. Lots of color photos and accessible tips (how to pick a camping spot, stake a tent, build a fire, etc.) recommend it as well as its sequel, Wilderness Pleasures. -- Library Journal Comprehensive, easy-to-read introduction to camping skills... displays the assurance and economy of a true woodsman, and applies humor as well. -- San Francisco Chronicle It's subtitle... is absolutely accurate, and this is a "must" purchase for every Scout troop's and Venturer company's resource library. -- The Leader (Scouts Canada)
