Camping’s Top Secrets: A Lexicon of
Camping Tips Only the Experts Know, 3rd Edition, by Cliff Jacobson
(Pub. by Falcon Guides, part of
Morris Book Publishing, Guilford, CT and Helena, MT, 2006, 242 pp. plus
appendix and index.)
The book lists subjects from A to Y
and covers every potential subject from weather, rigging a canoe, treating
drinking water, maintaining, improving, and selecting tents and shelters,
animal and insect encounters, cooking, first aid, maps, compass and GPS use,
camping clothing, gear, sleeping bags, wilderness ethics, knives and axes,
lightning, packs, rain gear, selecting and using line, survival, and an
appendix of recommended reading and his list of recommended suppliers and
products. How much more could you seek
in a book review, or the book itself, other than to say that these are but a
few of the 79 topics covered. Unlike a
lot of book that become dated, with the third edition, the author keeps his
information up-to-date with the newest materials and techniques.
