Great and useful,
By Just passin trough (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Camping's Top Secrets, 2nd: A Lexicon of Camping Tips Only the Experts Know (Paperback)
I have been hiking and canoe camping for over 20 years and I found this book to have great information. It's clear that I already knew some of the tips because of my experience but there were many great ideas. I always return to this book for ideas.I definitely recommend it.

Wow - this book has it all!,
By A. Lewis (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Camping's Top Secrets, 2nd: A Lexicon of Camping Tips Only the Experts Know (Paperback)
With this book, Mr. Jacobson has compiled some of the best tips and ideas for camping out of doors. From winter camping to knot-tying, it is a VERY helpful resource for the beginning/intermediate camper. The book is easy to read and easy to reference with subjects listed in alphabetical order. He covers almost anything you could think you want to know about camping, with very good information on canoeing as well. Read this book before you go!

Good Reference,
By Luna Moth Wilkins (Great Dismal Swamp, Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Camping's Top Secrets, 2nd: A Lexicon of Camping Tips Only the Experts Know (Paperback)
We bought this book for a gift for our 13-yr old nephew. When it arrived, we skimmed through it and immediately went back online to order a copy for ourselves!Even though I am a veteran hiker & backpacker, Mr. Jacobsen's book has a lot of tips and tricks in it I had never heard of...and some reminders of things I had heard before and forgotten. This is a great reference for outdoorspeople of all ability levels.
