Summary

Hiking Pack Guide is your essential companion for safe and rewarding hiking adventures, emphasizing the critical role of terrain-specific gear. This hiking guide dives into how selecting the right outdoor gear—from hiking footwear to navigation tools—directly impacts your safety and enjoyment across diverse landscapes. Did you know that up to 40% of hiking injuries are related to inadequate footwear? The book addresses this by providing detailed guidance on choosing the best gear for mountainous, desert, forest, and coastal environments.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with terrain classifications before delving into specific gear categories such as packs, clothing, and emergency supplies. Each chapter explores how terrain characteristics influence gear selection, ensuring you're prepared for any trail.

 
Hiking Pack Guide emphasizes that a one-size-fits-all approach to hiking equipment is both inefficient and potentially dangerous, advocating instead for informed decisions tailored to your specific hiking destination and the challenges it presents.

    In this book, Eve O. Schaub, humorist and stunt memoirist extraordinaire, tackles her most difficult challenge to date: garbage. Convincing her husband and two daughters to go along with her, Schaub attempts the seemingly impossible: living in the modern world without creating any trash at all—for an entire year and, as it turns out, during a pandemic. In the process, Schaub learns some startling things: that modern recycling is broken and single stream recycling is a lie, that flushable wipes aren’t flushable and compostables aren’t compostable, and that plastic drives climate change, fosters racism, and is poisoning the environment and our bodies at alarming rates, as microplastics are being found everywhere, from the top of Mount Everest to the placenta of unborn babies. If you’ve ever thought twice about that plastic straw in your drink, you’re gonna wanna read this book.

    This memoir of a retired Marine corps officer’s hike on the Appalachian trial is a humorous, inspirational travel narrative of the journey of a lifetime.     “In early spring each year, an exodus takes place in this country. A cross-section of humankind makes its way singly, or by two’s and three’s, to an isolated mountaintop in northeast Georgia. These sojourners—weird looking creatures burdened with huge loads and wearing strange garments—are linked by their appearance and behavior. They share a common purpose: to hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia’s Springer Mountain to Mount Katahdin in a single season. These creatures call themselves ‘thru-hikers.’”   So begins J.R. “Model-T” Tate’s tale of his own thru-hike of the AT. As he recollects grueling climbs, knee-wrecking descents, mountaintop thunderstorms, snakes underfoot, and the myriad characters he encounters, Tate also conveys the beauty of the trail and the community that surrounds it in this inspiring travelogue.
