About This Book

A practical and reflective guide to walking and simple travel, combining hands-on advice on equipment, clothing, food, navigation, shelter, and campcraft. Chapters treat boots, knapsacks, money, companions, maps, and how to cook, sleep, dry out, and keep warm on the road. Alongside nuts-and-bolts instruction it offers an ethic of tramping: humility, attentiveness to nature, respect for hosts, and the mental refreshment gained by shedding social roles. Interspersed are tips on interacting with strangers, carrying books and an artist’s notebook, and routes for quiet, exploratory walks.
