Outdoor Leaders Handbook
by Gil Gilpatrick

How to plan, supply and guide an outdoor expedition for two to twelve people.

This book will be an indispensable guide for the beginning outdoors person, but it is especially written for those people who are experienced in the out-of-doors, but are faced with the prospect of leading others afield. Gilpatrick has been a Master Maine Guide for over 40 years and has guided commercially for much of that time. In this book you get the benefit of his experience as well as that of other guides and outdoor professionals who have contributed their advice and expertise. The reader is taken through each step in the planning, packing and conduct of an outdoor expedition. Special emphasis is placed on the safety and well being of those people for whom the leader is responsible.
