Opis

One of the last great wildernesses in the world and a backpacker's paradise, Alaska is also a land of extremes. Before you head out to this last frontier, there are some important things to know: how to prepare and plan for your trip, how to decide where to go, and how to safely make the most of the experience. The guide contains information on: map and compass skills; cross-country travel techniques; leave no trace camping practices; stream crossings; bear encounters; and tips on finding edible plants, locating salmon runs, and interpreting animal signs
