Snow Walker's Companion

BACK IN PRINT!

This is the undisputed guide book for Winter Camping, Snowshoeing, and Northern Winter Travel.  The information in the book has really provided us with direction and significant information of how to run our trips and what gear really works best for winter camping.  I especially appreciate the realistic philosophy presented in the book regarding no trace outdoor activities and skillful living off the land.  This book is entertaining, insightful, and clearly based on years of intense outdoor expeditions and guiding by the authors.  You will not regret purchasing this book! - Dale
