Joy of Family Camping
|
- Item #: 433
Scores of books have been written about family camping, but recent technological advances in equipment, the growing influence of environmental and lifestyle concerns, and the greatly increased pressures on national parks all make the topic worth continued attention. Herb Gordon is an experienced camper, a Sierra Club outings leader, and the father of twins. He skillfully mixes personal anecdotes with current research on equipment and methods for tent and car camping, backpacking, canoeing, and biking. He provides numerous recipes, advocates involving the children in all aspects of the adventure, discusses child safety and etiquette, and stresses planning, organization of gear, and low-impact behavior. Gordon makes the prospect of family camping appealing and assures parents of its safety and potential value for the whole family.
