Basic Essentials Snowshoeing (Basic Essentials Series)

Rating:
Summary: Lack of information on a basic topic
Review: This book just touches the surface of a very basic subject (snowshoeing). There is not alot of information to cover and this book does not cover it leaving you wanting for more! Other books on the market do a much better job, even general mountianeering books.

Summary: Great Snowshoeing Book
Review: This is an easy-to-read book that covers the essentials on virtually every aspect of snowshoeing. If you're new to the sport or have been on snowshoes a few times and could use some instruction, or are looking for fun things to do with the family, it's an easy book to read. The author obviously knows the sport well and shares it in a down-to-earth, no frills way. There's a brief history on how and where showshoeing began, fitness tips and recommendations on dressing and what other things to bring along on trips. I have been on snowshoes only a few times, without instruction, and this book really clarified some key things for me. Recommend highly.
