Review Quotes:
"You can learn to backpack in one of two ways: the hard way, through miserable and expensive trial and error; or from an expert like Paul, who has hiked tens of thousands of miles and has spent hundreds of days in the field. This book is full of honest, practical, and accurate advice that is ideally suited for first-time and beginner backpackers." --Andrew Skurka, Guide, writer, and National Geographic "Adventurer of the Year"

Review Quotes:
"With humor, no-nonsense explanations, and fun illustrations, Paul Magnanti's book takes you step-by-step through the process of planning, preparing for, and executing an outdoor trip. Keeping budget and time in mind, his approachable and unintimidating explanations make being outdoors seem simple and reasonable, as it should. Paul's experience as a guide shines through as he anticipates what can go wrong that most wouldn't think about. How to Survive Your First Trip in the Wild is a modern handbook for life in the outdoors and is destined to bring the outdoors within reach of today's 'outdoor curious' person." --Liz Thomas, Author of Long Trails: Mastering the Art of the Thru-Hike (winner of the 2017 National Outdoor Book Award), www.eathomas.com

Review Quotes:
"Full of practical, to-the-point advice, How to Survive Your First Trip into the Wild, is ideal for those looking to make the transition from day hikes to overnight backpacking excursions. Magnanti's decades of field experience combined with an often humorous writing style, make this book not only a great resource for beginners, but also brings home the fact that as long as you are well prepared, heading out into the woods is an experience to be enjoyed, rather than simply endured." --Cam Honan, Author of The Hiking Life
