I didn't mind the product placement as it served a point for the book. I was actually hoping for more gear stories- why and how things were created and crafted and perfected. The images are beautiful and the interviews were mostly interesting. I think the strike against the book was that it was trying to be too many things and so, on any given page, I wasn't quite sure what or why I was looking at or reading about something. On the upside- it's a fun book for the coffee table!

Great pictures and some interesting bits. Downside is lot of marketing of the companies instead, also I feel that some of the companies mentioned are given way more credit than deserved. But considering I generally like outdoor companies it didn't bother me to much. I was hoping that it'd be a textual and pictorial account similar to the dirty bag dairies. I think there's lots of room for better versions of the book

A coffee table book, nonetheless an inspiring one filled with the possibility of adventure. This is one I can come back to again and again.
