GREAT INFORMATION AND LOVE THIS BOOK

What made the experience of listening to Backpacking the most enjoyable?

I'm new to backpacking, and haven't camped for about 15 years. When I did camp it was in the west coast deserts, or redwoods. I'm now in the hot and humid Georgia terrain. I was pleased to find information on all types of trips from desert to ice, and everything in between. Also there is a resource page for any information that would go beyond what they wanted to cover.
I even enjoyed listening information I already knew. But most of all, I enjoyed finding a bunch of information that I didn't know.
This book is a great resource for the beginning backpacker

GREAT BACK PACKING FOR YOUTH

When I started backpacking, I put my traditional canoe camping gear in a big pile, and then bought a backpack big enough to carry it all. It weighed over 60 pounds with food and water for an over nighter. I wish I had listen this book first, It would have saved me from becoming a pack mule and dreading the long walks weighted down like a Sherpa.
Excellent , funny and well illustrated.
