GREAT GEAR RECOMMENDATION - Book - Mountaineering The Freedom Of The Hills
Great book. Required reading.
One of the objectives of this site is to educate. My Mountain Rescue and Parks Service colleagues would call it good PSAR (Preventive or Proactive or Prophylactic Search And Rescue). The point is that good, solid information helps outdoorsmen perform better and safer in the field which results in fewer mishaps and emergency incidents. Agreed?
To that end, a lot of arguments could be settled before they ever got started on many of the forums that I frequent if some people would get this book and do a little reading. Mountaineering, The Freedom Of The Hills was originally written in 1961 and is now in it's 7th edition. It is the best selling outdoor skills book of all time. If you love being in the backcountry or it is part of your job, you can't afford to not have a copy of this book on your nightstand. It is the quintessential wilderness how to guide and generally regarded as the mountaineers bible.
Buy, beg, borrow or steal a copy and be a better, safer outdoorsman.
