They evaluate each of these variables in detail-including open, honest critiques and endorsements of brand-name equipment. Fletcher and Rawlins’s thorough appraisal and recommendation of equipment begins with a “Ground Plan,” a discussion of general hiking preparedness. In this book the authors confidently lead us through these technological, ethical, and spiritual changes. Not only has backpacking become more popular, but a whole ethic of responsible outdoorsmanship has emerged. During these two decades we have also seen a deepening of environmental consciousness. The equipment recommendations are therefore not merely revised and tweaked, but completely revamped. The eighteen years since the publication of The Complete Walker III have seen revolutionary changes in hiking and camping equipment: developments in waterproofing technology, smaller and more durable stoves, lighter boots, more manageable tents, and a wider array of food options. Together, they have made this fourth edition of The Complete Walker the most informative, entertaining, and thorough version yet. ![]() For the first time since 1984, we have a new edition of the classic book that Field & Stream called “the Hiker’s Bible.” For this version, the celebrated writer and hiker Colin Fletcher has taken on a coauthor, Chip Rawlins, himself an avid outdoorsman and a poet from Wyoming. ![]()

And although I classified it as a mystery, the who-done-it, why and how of the contract killing here isn’t a mystery to the reader we’re shown the personae, planning, and execution (literally) of the crime at the outset. Series sleuth Lucas Davenport, a Minneapolis homicide detective (who, by the time of this novel, is actually a deputy police chief) isn’t really the protagonist here structurally, at least for much of the book, the two pistol-packing female villains are really the co-protagonists, and Davenport the antagonist (albeit one who’s on the side of good). Usually, I prefer to read a series in order, but this installment can be read just as well out of sequence. This tenth novel in Sandford’s popular Lucas Davenport series was my first experience with his work. ![]() 5/21/2023 0 Comments The fold peter cline![]() Please be sure to use the Search Box above to find any books or textbooks you may be looking for as we have a huge variety of of the best educational and fiction books on the market. ![]() ![]() Mike lives in the small town New England.
