Alaska on Foot
Wilderness Techniques for the Far North
Erik Molvar
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.
Alaska on Foot contains information on:
Map and compass skills
Cross-country travel techniques
"Leave no trace" camping practices
Stream crossings
Bear encounters
Tips on finding edible plants, locating salmon runs, and interpreting animal signs
"Alaska on Foot is an excellent resource guide for the backcountry wilderness traveler. From navigation techniques and glacier travel, to wildlife-viewing and treading lightly on the land, this guide is packed with useful information."
