A read to check out.

Just picked up the Oct issue of Backpacker. Its the suvival issue. Loads of well written articles including--

how to get out alive- escaping natures worst predicaments

Where trouble happens-- a guide to the riskiest tails, and how to hike them

the ultimate checklist-- What Yosemite rescue ranger Jeff Webb, veteran of over 200 SAR ops, packs in his pack

As well as some real life survival stories. Its a great read, I reccomend you pick up a copy.:thumbup:

I got mine and it is their second survival. I bought extra copies for my son and nephew. BACKPACKER magazine is a great magazine, Good gear reviews, nice trip information to reasonable locations, survival and camping hints, recipes and so on. OUTSIDE sucks big time, a yuppie Aberchrombie and Fitch crowd magazine. they are obsessed with Everest articles and going to exotic locations to go surfing and ski.

I agree. Backpacker is a great magazine. This issue is FULL of great stories, and gear reccomendations, and survival instruction.

I am a subscriber to Outside as well. I agree with you. I love reading about the exotic surfing spots though. It has become quit pretentious in the past few years.
