Book Description

Nov 1 2000 Canoeing how-to
Expedition Canoeing (formerly titled Canoeing Wild Rivers) is the premier guide to canoeing and exploring North America's waterways. This completely revamped edition expertly details everything you need to know about paddling the continent's wild rivers.

Cliff Jacobson uses his thirty plus years of river running to give you sound advice and advanced techniques for canoeing in the wilderness. You will find dozens of black-and-white and color photos, how-to illustrations, canoeing and camping tricks, and a discussion of GPS navigation. In a chapter new to this edition, the author augments his recommendations with the hard-won advice of fellow canoeing experts.

Preparation and skills are everything when expedition canoeing. Take along this guide on all of your canoeing adventures.

This guide contains information on how to pick a crew, route and trip planning, canoeing and camping gear, how to deal with dangerous bears, canoe hazards and rescue, barren-land travel and much more.

Review

"Expedition Canoeing is a comprehensive resource for your next canoe adventure." -- Tim Jackson, Editor, Canoe and Kayak magazine

"Expedition Canoeing offers firsthand advice for all stages and aspects of the journey" -- Andrew C. Hubsch,

"Impressively comprehensive, whether you already are--or want to be a 'supercanoeist' with a yearning for the wild." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune--Jerry Zgoda

"Jacobson's knowledge of expedition canoeing runs deeper than the rivers he's paddled--and every ounce comes out in Expedition Canoeing." -- Eugene Buchanan, Paddler magazine

From the Author

EXPEDITION CANOEING is the third edition of my flagship book, CANOEING WILD RIVERS, which has been popular since 1984. More than half the material, and all the expedition accounts, photos and illustrations are new. The huge appendix is larger than some canoeing books! Readers of earlier editions of CANOEING WILD RIVERS will hardly recognize this updated, expanded new edition. EXPEDITION CANOEING is not just the work of Cliff Jacobson. Kent Ford, Gary and Joan McGuffin, Bob O'Hara, Michael Peake, Annie Aggens, Laurie Gullion, Alex Hall, Verlen Kruger, Bob Dannert and dozens of other internationally known paddlers have made their mark on these pages. There are hundreds of new ideas, plus a new chapter in which acknowledged experts share advice. This is not a book about canoeing technique. It is an encyclopedia of nuts and bolts and an essential reference for those who canoe wilderness waterways.

When the first edition of CANOEING WILD RIVERS appeared in 1984, Alaska Outdoors Magazine said it was "The first book you should buy!" The Minnesota Canoe Asssociation called it "The bible of far north canoeing". This new 2000 color edition of EXPEDITION CANOEING goes light years beyond previous editions to address every question about wilderness canoeing. And like earlier editions, you won't have to head to the Arctic to get more than your money's worth. If you love canoeing remote waterways you will love EXPEDITION CANOEING as much as I loved writing it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST resources for wilderness canoeing April 10 2003
Format:Paperback
This book takes you through the planning, paddling, and post adventure stages of an expedition canoeing experience. It is a very thorough collection of expedition canoeing issues, from one of the leading authorities on expedition canoe travel.

A terrific read for novices and pros alike. The writing is easy to follow and accompanied by detailed diagrams and photos.

It is required reading for all of our guides and clients taking part in one of our expeditions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the cash if you have it Oct 30 2002
Format:Paperback
Good reference book, interesting read. The section on BEARS pays for the whole thing. Here I thought I was doing right, but now I find that I am lucky I ain't been et yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expedition Canoeing sets the new standard Dec 15 2000
Format:Paperback
Cliff Jacobson has once agian set a new standard for canoe tripping literature. In his most recent publication, Expedition Canoeing: A guide to Canoeing Wild Rivers in North America, Jabobson goes where no other book of this kind has gone. The book is a thorough and comprehensive collection of every aspect of expedition canoe travel. Jacobson covers everything from choosing a river to the meals that you can prepare in barren land, but what sets this book apart from others is that he includes his own novel concepts for the trail alongside time-tested techniques that only someone with his experience can add. This book will surely become the standard against which all other books of this nature will be measured. The book is an absolute must for anyone wishing to venture north with a canoe.
