Backpacking Books We Like
We have looked at several interesting backpacking books, but there are just a few that we highly recommend and urge you to include on your reading list.
Our criteria for including books on our recommended list is:
- Rich with useful information
- Authors have years of backpacking experience
- Chapters go in-depth and actually teach the reader best practices for safe backpacking treks
- Inexpensive (available in paperback)
- Covers all the basics that a beginning backpacker needs to know
- Will also be interesting and useful to experienced backpackers
Based on these principles, here are reviews of our highly recommended books for backpackers:
The Complete Walker IV by Colin Fletcher and Chip Rawlins
Written by the "grand-daddy of modern backpacking," this revised and updated fourth edition of The Complete Walker is a delightful reading adventure in addition to being a very useful reference book.
