Product Description

Book Description

Written by the "granddaddy" of the river running world
Completely updated, with new text and photos
Sidebars describing real-life river running situations threaded throughout

First published in 1975, River Running inspired a whole generation of river runners. Now this classic text is back in print in a completely rewritten and updated guide. Reflecting changes in the regulations, equipment, and popularity of hte sport, River Running introduces the modern river runner to craft and gear, technique, planning and preparation, health and safety, environmental issues, and basic river sense.

Long-time expert Verne Huser shares his insights on the nature of rivers-how they act, why they flood, and what to look for when scouting out rapids, holes, and other obstacles-and discusses how to choose from the many types of craft, from traditional wooden canoes to inflatable kayaks and catarafts. Also covered are the different means of propulsion and the latest in safety equipment. All information is presented in the context of running rivers safely, with as little impact on the river environmental as possible.

Verne Huser has been running rivers for more than forty years, and has been writing about it for thirty. He has written for numerous magazines, and is the author of Paddle Routes of Western Washington. Verne residess in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This review is from: River Running (Paperback)

Out of date, nothing new. I was very disapointed in this book. The information is the same as are the photos as the first edition 20 years ago. There are too many other books on the subject to waste your time with this one.
