Loved the information given and its presentation, like a friend giving advice, but a knowledgeable friend who is looking out for my safety, preparing me mentally as well as with specific physical equipment for a safe hike, listing his preferences in type and brand. And even before the hike, the author advises practicing things like starting fires during rain and snow so you know your equipment works. Liked the idea of carrying along cotton balls dipped in petroleum jelly as fire starters. There are so many little hints to do as well as preparing your safety mind set. Highly recommended to new hikers and campers.
