Canoe Country Camping: Wilderness Skills for the Boundary Waters and Queticoby Michael Furtman |
| Having read lots of other books on this
subject, I have to say that this title is the only one that meshes with
my experience. His recommendations are absolutely on the money due to a
paring away of hype surrounding the gear you should use when canoe
camping. A great book for the novice canoe-camper and one with opinions
which happen to be borne out by the experience of others.
