Really pleasant read about the author's experience and subsequent advice for day hikers and backpackers ( I appreciated his distinguishing the two). I'm just starting out hiking again after 20 years away from it, and he covers the fundamentals and inspires with his stories. Just what I was looking for; a quick read and some pointers to some great hikes across the United States.
