.The Happy Camper: An Essential Guide to Life Outdoors
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Kevin Callan

April 02, 2005
A great book.

I have been canoeing for over a decade in Ontario and backpacking in British Columbia for another ten (when I lived there). I have read many books on the outdoors and I have to say this is the best I have read. Throughout I was impressed with the quality and utility information and the humorous way it was delivered.

There is a lot of information in this book. I was pleasantly surprised how much of my own discoveries were there in the book including the wonderful VCS tarp, the 2 trip portage technique, and even the Knot Knot joke (which is still one of my favourites). The topics it covers are a panorama of wilderness skills but sometimes a little scant on its attempt at comprehensive coverage. I was ... Read More:

.Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Piers Paul Read

June 01, 1979
Time has not diminished the drama of the tale of the Uruguayan rugby team whose plane crashed in the Andes Mountains. Of the forty five people on the plane at the time of the crash, sixteen came down from the mountain about seventy days later with a saga of survival not easily forgotten.

Theirs is a journey born of tragedy and human endurance. The author unfolds a tale that is gripping in the telling, as enthralling as it is almost unbelievable. It is investigative reporting at its best, because it does not fail to convey the human drama and pathos behind the story of this remarkable struggle for survival high up in the Andes Mountains. Masterfully written, it is a well balanced narrative that takes great pains to ground the experience ... Read More:

.Sand Dance: By Camel Across Arabia's Great Southern Desert
City Travel Guides > Books > Specialty Travel
by: Bruce Kirkby

February 01, 2001
This book is a really interesting account of the three Canadians' journey across the Empty Quarter on the Arabian Peninsula. I followed the news reports of their journey back when it was under way, so it was really interesting to read this personal account and get more of a close-up view. I felt like the book basically had three focusses: the desert environment, the camels, and the Bait Kathir Bedouin. The book describes all three in personal detail, and you get a sense for how these three elements all interact. I found the observations of the Bedouin culture very interesting. I also liked having the bits of Arabic dialogue because I study Arabic but I was unfamiliar with this dialect. All around it's a very interesting book.
