Summary

Hike Pack List serves as a comprehensive guide for hikers aiming to optimize their gear selection for safety and enjoyment across diverse terrains. It emphasizes the importance of informed choices in equipment, moving beyond simple brand preferences to focus on how gear impacts comfort and preparedness. Interestingly, the book highlights how modern hiking gear has evolved from historical outdoor exploration, now refined by scientific understanding of physiology under exertion, leading to advancements like breathable fabrics and biomechanical backpack designs. A key insight is that terrain-specific gear selection is paramount; for instance, what works for a desert trek differs significantly from what's needed for alpine climbs. The book uniquely balances performance, durability, and weight considerations, all vital for reducing risk and enhancing comfort on the trail. It guides readers through layering systems, footwear, and navigation tools before diving into detailed chapters on backpacks, shelter systems, and safety equipment. Ultimately, Hike Pack List culminates in practical checklists tailored for various hiking scenarios, providing gear lists and rationales suitable for day hikes to multi-day backpacking trips.

    New York Times bestselling author Ali Wentworth offers her hilarious and unique advice on surviving the absurdity of modern life in her third collection of laugh-out-loud comic vignettes. 
Ali Wentworth’s first two books, Ali in Wonderland and Happily Ali After, were lauded by readers, critics, and fellow comedians alike. Entertainment Weekly included Happily Ali After on its ""Must List"" and hailed it as ""hilarious. . . . Her glass isn’t half full—it’s ""empty and cracked,"" while Cosmopolitan praised it as ""razor-sharp."" Chelsea Handler called Ali in Wonderland ""truly hilarious,"" and Kathy Griffin christened it, ""Chicken Soup for the Vagina."" Alec Baldwin has described Ali as ""funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth,"" and Jerry Seinfeld has raved, ""Everything that comes out of Ali Wentworth’s mouth is funny!"" 
At once endearing and hilarious, thoughtful and far-fetched, this third collection offers Ali at her wisest and wittiest as she delivers tips, pointers, and quips on a host of life’s conundrums and sticky situations, including the funny, sometimes embarrassing yet unforgettable situations that have shaped her inimitable world view as a wife, mother, actress, comedian, and all around bon vivant. Thoroughly entertaining, Go Ask Ali is packed with thoughts and musings from ""the girlfriend you want to have a glass of wine with, the one who makes you laugh because she sees the funny and the absurd in everything"" (Huffington Post).
