Sht4u2no by Paul Kautz
Hiking is just walking with attitude>
The author is a cheap, lazy, old hiker who does whatever he can to minimize effort and weight when hiking long distances.
These 150 tips come from the experience of hiking thousands of miles over hundreds of days and nights in the wild, and will help make your next (or first) long walk a more enjoyable, safe, efficient, economical, and comfortable adventure. The broad selection of topics reminds hikers what is important to focus on to ensure success.
Some tips are useful exclusively for overnight hiking trips, but many pertain to any outdoor activity. Most of them also include a personal example from the author's adventures.
You'll learn many things that hikers often don't think about, such as:- What is the most useful food item to take on a trek?
- Why should you leave your insect repellent at home?
- When is the best time of day to gather water, or use the toilet?
- Why is efficiency more important than speed?
Featuring humorous illustrations by Dave Windett to introduce each chapter's topic on a fun note.
Paul Kautz grew up in the Rocky Mountains, hiking pretty much every day, whether it was the mile to school or all over the trails during the summer. Now he camps, backpacks, and leads others on frontcountry and backcountry outings to share his skills with them. He writes books and blogs when he's not out hiking. He also presents Wilderness First Aid, Leave No Trace, and lightweight backpacking training to people preparing for their adventures. The most enjoyment he gets from life is when young people push themselves farther than they thought possible. Paul is the owner of Active Source, Inc., and lives in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with his wife.
