Trekker's Handbook by Buck Tilton
This is a guide on how to plan a trekking trip, whether it is in the USA or anywhere around the world. It contains pre-trip, during trip, and post-trip strategies for long distance hiking.
Buck Tilton's love for and knowledge of our mountains, plains, and coastline is reflected in a career of outdoor accomplishments, which include winning the Paul Petzoldt Award for Excellence in Wilderness Education, co-founding the NOLS Wilderness Medicine Institute, and producing Leave No Trace's Master Educator Handbook. Buck has also experienced fire firsthand. As a hotshot with the United States Forest Service, he battled wildfires on the ground and from the air as part of helicopter fire-attack crews. Buck spent 15 years in a cabin, heated exclusively by a wood-burning stove fed by wood he cut, split, and stacked himself. Buck has cooked with every form of stove imaginable during his lifetime spent outdoors, but hot coals and flame remain a favorite technique to roast or bake a wonderful open-air feast.
Buck is a seasoned author with over 15 books now in print and is a regular writer to Backpacker Magazine. Buck is a resident of Lander, Wyoming.
