A good little read. As a lifelong runner, with much of it on trail, most of this I'd consider previous knowledge, but there were enough hiking specific nuggets that I'd count this as a valuable resource as I transition into more hiking than running...

Great information

I wanted to say this book was great information, and it will help me plan a long hike. I only had problems with the layout on the Kindle app. It had pages that had 20 lines with one word, making it difficult to read

Very brief and elementary, but very good.

Definitely meant for beginners. The information is very basic, but also very important. Formatting on the Kindle edition is a bit clunky.
