Boundary Waters Canoe Camping, 2nd Edition

Summary: A fine introduction to the Boundary Waters
Review: The one star reviews on this page are very misleading. Cliff Jacobson does recommend useful equipment but is hardly a shill for manufacturers -- no specific brands are mentioned, but helpful ideas and a long life as a paddler and instructor are put forward in this fine introduction to the Boundary Waters. This book is an introduction, and it is highly recommended by many outfitters in the Boundary Waters. It gives just enough information to aid in planning a trip to the area, but the expert with plenty of canoeing experience will probably want to look into Jacobson's other books, which are equally well written and researched. In planning my second trip to the Boundary Waters, I found the book helpful and useful -- it has none of the fluff intimated by some of the other reviewers on this page. I found the book a good, solid investment.

Summary: This guy and his book are a joke
Review: Typcial of his book is his suggestion of hiding your food in the woods and not to hang a bear bag, since bears would not think to look in the woods for your food. The book was good for many laughs between me and my friends, if you are interested in that, then buy the book.
