| |  | | | From The Publisher
For the first time since 1984: a new edition of The Complete Walker. Colin Fletcher, one of America's most celebrated writers in the backpacking field, has taken on a coauthor, Chip Rawlins, and together they lead us through a discussion of every aspect of the outdoor life, with all of the passion, thoroughness, intelligence, directness, and humor we have come to expect.
The two decades since the publication of The Complete Walker III have seen revolutionary changes in hiking and camping equipment: developments in waterproofing technology, smaller and more durable stoves, lighter boots, more manageable tents, and a wider array of food options. The equipment recommendations are therefore not merely revised and tweaked but completely revamped. During these two decades we have also seen a deepening of environmental consciousness. Not only has backpacking become more popular, but a whole ethic of responsible outdoorsmanship has emerged. In this book the authors confidently lead us through these technological, ethical, and spiritual changes. Fletcher and Rawlins discuss how best to equip yourself, from your socks to your pack -- "the house on your back." Their equipment evaluations are precise, honest, and thorough, covering everything from freeze-dried trail cuisine to lanterns to stoves. Ultimately, though, they remind us that hiking is not about equipment alone but about seeing the green world anew. Like its predecessors, this book is indispensable.
