Useful information.
A lot of differnet ideas for camping and canoeing.
One useful section of the book allowed me to be able to perform an open water rescue properly.
Two people flipped their canoe in open water.
I was able to use the techniques described in the book to get their canoe uprighted and them back inside.
We were able to just continue canoeing.

There are dozens of canoeing books that touch on the basics of canoe camping. This one really takes you beyond the fundamentals found in those books. I found the section on meal preparation very helpful. It also has helpful information for leading a group of teenagers on a canoe camping trip.

Getting ready for a very first time trip to the BWCAW - this book has been very helpful. Great illustrations for canoe techniques and a lot of How-to info on packing, portaging, etc. My only criticism, it needed a bit more info on packing and preparing light weight foods.

I was delighted with this book! I lead wilderness canoe trips with groups of adolescents, and found here pages and pages of useful information applying directly to our needs. My copy is bookmarked and highlighted through and through, noting useful tips on topics such as rainproofing tents, removing fishhooks from human skin, portaging gear and canoes, transporting canoes, whitewater safety, solo canoeing...and much more.
Any one of Jacobson's tried-and-true tips is worth the price of the book. He gives make-it-yourself instructions for all sorts of useful items for canoeing and camping, as well as lots of sage advice regarding safety issues.
There is no "filler" in this book. The auther has been-there-done-that, and this book is a gift for those of us interested in doing the same. Buy it if you're going on a canoe trip!
