View Full Version : Advanced Backpacking
Ok I picked up this book a few days ago, its written by Chris Townsend and although its not bushcraft related its actually a damn good read. Now I say its not related to bushcraft but it does actually cover a lot of aspects which can be of use, from types of packs, to how to pack them, clothing to wear and which types to choose so that you're not wasting pack space. Kit listings are good as well, as is planning for any expeditions in terms of food, water, routes etc. Theres also quite a nice section on the use of tarps, different ways to pitch them, using them with trekking poles/staffs to make pyrimids tents etc.
Overall very good and the advice/information can easily be supplemented with bushcraft for out purposes.
