I have been on a hike in the desert before for a few days, with map, and compass. Water sources were not as plentiful as indicated on the map, and I remember the feeling of wanting more security. This book outlines some very good ways to ensure a person's survival on an outdoor hike. It stresses caution and the use of preparation, as well as using the right equipment. I may be hiking again this summer, and I think I will be better prepared having read this book. Once you have been in a dangerous situation, or see how quickly one can develop, taking the survival gear is not an imposition, but gives you the freedom to enjoy the exercise and the outdoors. The author assumes you know about wearing proper foot apparel and not breaking in a new pair of boots on your hiking expedition. Recommended for anyone who is taking a day hike or going out into the wilderness for a more extended stay.
