520 $aUltimate Wilderness Gear gives every wilderness junkie what they crave: expert knowledge on the best gear to get any job done on an outdoor trip. Craig Caudill, author of Extreme Wilderness Survival, has amassed decades' worth of wilderness expertise from backpacking, hunting and exploring; in this new and unparalleled guide he dives deeply into the topic of his favourite equipment and tools to help readers make wise purchases, then learn to use and maintain each item for life. More than just general analysis, readers get specific recommendations of what they should buy based on their unique environments and needs. Craig provides a detailed analysis of knives, cordage, fire starters and fuel, water purifiers and containers, packs, compasses and maps, first-aid items, clothing, tents and sleeping bags, and so much more. As a bonus, readers get an extra chapter on specialty equipment such as ultra-light gear, bush craft and hunting. Craig is the real deal, and readers trust his expertise because they know it's based on hard time spent outside learning and teaching others. Rather than a boring reference textbook, this is an enjoyable read, with true stories, quotes and interesting factoids woven in that entertain as much as they teach. Don't miss this essential gear guide that's set to be the hottest wilderness book of 2018.
