NOLS Expedition Planning [B1766]

2011 PB in nice clean condition. Part of the 17-book National Outdoor Leadership School library. In this guide for planning a successful short or long outdoor adventure, you will find information on how to: Research access to public land, domestic and international. Create a budget and find additional funding; Choose essential gear, with checklists for personal and group gear; Plan food and fuel requirements; How to prepare mentally and physically; Health issues, including insurance, illnesses, and injuries; Transportation and lodging; How to deal with risks in the wilderness; and Leave No Trace principles for sustainable travel.

From recent-ish Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The personal anecdotes, timeless experiential knowledge, and practical advice were especially brilliant. The opening chapters and those focused on soft skills, like risk management and leadership, are where the authors, NOLS, and this book truly excel. While it doesn't quite match the level of detail or up-to-date insights found in more recent books by top-tier outdoor experts like Skurka, it's worth reading. It provided me with essential information, useful frameworks, and detailed checklists that I'll incorporate into my future expeditions. Overall, I'd highly recommend this book to anyone passionate about expedition travel and outdoor adventure."; "Cool info, definitely need to explore NOLS. Well written."; "A must read if your planning a trek in the backcountry without the support of an outfitter. Great resource and valuable insight."
