NOLS Wilderness Guide by Mark Harvey

It covers a lot of different topics. Unlike other books written by “traditional” backpackers, such as O’Bannon’s Backpackin’ Book, I didn’t feel like I skimmed some good ideas from a knowledgeable and experienced traditionalist backpacker. It was mainly regurgitating dogma, some of which is good advice (but readily available from other sources) and much of it myth.
