A good basic introduction to backpacking.

[Connor Magary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Camping must haves that they didn’t include:
- mouth tape
- ear plugs
- Eye cover

[Jennie K. · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm a novice, and I still found this incredibly fluffy, containing almost no new information. Maybe if I'd never hiked at all, ever, or been exposed to backpacking in any way. Star for the tone and anecdotes.
